Someone cartwheeled the gently caress out of that right off the dealer lot. Nice.

The "SOLD" tag really is the icing on the cake.

Seconding this brand, I ended up with this one after asking for recommendations in AI and it's amazing. Way quieter than the lovely ones, way faster, accurate gauge when it's off. I wish I bought it 10 years ago.

a lot of non-TCC people don't realize whipped cream chargers are N2O.

Absolutely not, no sir, I never inhaled nitrous out of a balloon.

What's funny is when you walk into a head shop to buy them... if you say N2O, or Whip-Its, they get pissy. IT SAYS N2O RIGHT ON THE BOX, AND WHIP-ITS IS A loving BRAND NAME OF WHIPPED CREAM CHARGERS THAT YOU SELL, THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU! They insist you use the term "whipped cream chargers" at the head shop I used to buy them at.

I get why you're not supposed to use certain terms in a head shop, but when it's printed right.on.the.loving.box, and you can't say what's printed on the box without getting kicked out....

Only barely related, I was at a party one night, and the only thing I particularly remember is one guy lit a cigarette... took a few puffs... then took a huge hit of nitrous (I think 2 cartridges in the balloon?). Then exhaled through the cigarette. Which basically burst into flame and disappeared into a pile of ash very quickly (seconds).

You can, however, buy kits to use them on little scooter/kart engines...

Now that sounds fun as gently caress. :getin:

I will admit to having inhaled, ingested, snorted, smoked, swallowed, maybe even plugged enough various chemicals in my lifetime to get the entire population of mainland China trashed (my one bit of pride is that I never touched needles or heroin).

I've honestly forgotten the names of half the poo poo I've put in my body over the years. So many "research chemicals"... and I wonder why I don't remember my teens and 20s.

The FWD Mazda BF 323 ones? They're actually pretty nice all-around, but when cornering you can certainly tell when you take the hard top off, or the hardware is loose as you suddenly see daylight over the windshield. I never ran the top off for much, even with a good soft top.

Agreed on the seats, though. They were loving awful. I has a set of Recaros from my GTX I ran in it.

My grandma's silver 90's LeBaron was supposed to be my first car, but my older cousin got it first and totaled it at an intersection before I had a crack at it.

I would totally rock a (turbo) Lebaron if I ran across a clean one. Preferably a convertible coupe, but if I can't find one of those, a woody would be awesome.

Range Rover looks like something Barbie should be driving. It's like they designed it to save money on injection moulding. Rectangle to sit people inside of. Even that gotdang Murano has a more interesting design.
