Nice driving position, good visibility, tons of space. Though it did develop a mysterious engine problem that Chrysler could never diagnose (the fault code apparently didn't exist in their database, somehow) and it would occasionally decide to literally turn itself off on the motorway at 70mph (like everything was off as if you'd taken the key out), which was kind of distressing. But I didn't die so that's a win.

There is no amount of practicality or visibility or cupholders or rear end warmers or hold-my-hand-i-cant-handle-driving-in-snow driving modes or really any other positive feature that will make you not look like you're sitting in a car with severe genetic defects. I'm serious. The cars appearance is the vehicular equivalent of Sloth from The Goonies. It is offensive to the eyes, nay, even the soul.   Behold, the most cursed thing of all: a post-millenium car with wood paneling.

busalover posted:Europe has the Fiat Multipla this is somehow less and yet also more awful than I'd expect out of Fiat what a strange dichotomy I still find that, somehow, less gently caress-ugly than the PT Cruiser, if only because Italian automakers do not come in "sane". Same goes for French automakers. Some might be higher performance, some more luxury, some more daily driver, but all of them are utterly mad and will do something positively mental sooner or later.

 When I was a field archaeologist I had a coworker who would do this in the field if we ever worked close enough to a grocery store that sold then. We'll be sitting in the woods or a field and he'll be deboning - hand to mouth. The vegetarians on the crew were disgusted to watch him eat and so were some of the non-vegetarians.

I think it's funny but it'd be funnier if there were two (three) of them Maybe..forgive me if I did.....this is the same guy I posted a pic of who passed out with a jug of wing sauce. He had some "interesting" eating habits. He would regularly eat packets of dry instant oatmeal and cold cans of condensed Campbell's chicken noodle soup. The poster pic reminded me again of him. He was a strange bird. Once on a out of town project for a week I noticed by the end of the week he was getting on the "ripe" side. I asked if he was showering...something one doesn't think they have to ask a coworker. He said the water didn't work in his motel room. Granted it was a lovely old mom and pop motel in bumfuck rural New York, but I asked him why didn't he tell the motel owner? "I dunno" was his response. Same dude also once caught on fire by sitting too close to the fire pit on a crew party. He was a remorseless eating machine, personal hygiene very suspect, but loved Warcraft. A tale old as time.

busalover posted:he was lucky the other guy didn't die when he hit the ground. read an article about this exact thing happening, road rage with fatal outcome, leading to a manslaughter charge and years in prison. Obviously, the trick is for rear end in a top hat A to not have responded to rear end in a top hat B taunts, but here is rear end in a top hat ? On the ground I suspect there may have been several (?) other opportunities for either one to de-escalate but I'm not a Road rage expert

I worked with a guy who'd regularly eat an entire bbq chicken from the supermarket for breakfast. He was already a big islander guy to begin with, but he was also on an all-protein-all-the-time bulking diet. It was fascinating to watch him completely devastate those chickens. One morning the entire company was locked out of the office due to a security system failure. When he turned up and saw everyone sitting in the car park, he pulled the door with such force that the entire front of the building shook. Chook strength.

More so when I was younger, but sometimes you need that condensed salty kick, or some dry rear end flakes and brown sugar. Great way to stave off hunger, or force something into your stomach due to lack of hunger from meds. My hygiene is on point.
