I still see a nontrivial amount of older women with tweety poo poo tucked away in their houses/tattoos of tweety on their feet or whatever.

Minions and Tweety belong in that same kind of office humor vein as general store humor and novelties.

I wish I loving understood WHY. It's just baffling.

Went on a weekend vacation and came back to find that someone had scraped the poo poo out of my Abarth. No note.

I looked around my neighborhood for a possible offender but couldn’t find any cars with appropriate damage.

Thanks, rear end in a top hat.

You can't post that without the backstory. :colbert:

tl;dr: don't rush frame swaps, but this was a dealer that hosed it up, dealer let them pick out a brand new Tahoe on the dealer's dime.

Obnoxious, no real personality so you can project whatever quantities you want onto them, loud yellow, designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Yes, I know they actually have legit performance cred

The Type R conflicts me greatly because it's nice to see Honda building exciting things, but I wish their exciting thing didn't look like a Fast and the Furious casting call reject.

The type R has nurburgring syndrome in which the production car's spring rates and dampers are too stiff for extended driving since it was designed to break lap records. Nurburgring syndrome is definitely terrible car stuff and I wish manufacturers would stop bringing showroom stock cars to it because lap times mean nothing to 99% of the driving you'll ever do.
