-S- posted:Simply because she a) wants a convertible and b) inexplicably likes the way it looks. Believe me, I've spent 3 days telling her how terrible they are, but am apparently "being mean to her." I would honestly be fine buying her ANYTHING but that. Marital advice ITT. Does the new new Beetle come in a convertible? I really like the way it looks, and it'd probably appeal to her funky side.

Ripoff posted:My brother is looking for a sort-of beat-up, $2,000 or less truck for the upcoming winter so he can spare his other car the abuse. So he and I have been on the prowl for some trucks lately, and as we're passing by a nice little lot that's less than a mile away from my house, we spot a Toyota T100 in the back. Free would be too expensive.

Either that or it's a special character in your state's DMV's license plate database and they aren't sanitizing their inputs properly so they use lovely Javascript to prevent any bad inputs.

Slavvy posted:For what? I'm genuinely curious, I never knew such a thing existed. It looks pretty awesome but what can you really use it for, aside from simultaneously transporting four people and towing an enormous trailer? Pretty much. Let's say you own a company that operates a 10 ton piece of very niche equipment (for installing radio antennas or inspecting bridges or laying trans-continental fiber optic cable or something like that). You want to be able to load up a crew and drive a thousand miles to the jobsite. An actual tractor trailer would require someone with a Commercial Driver's License, and you'd have to comply with a ton of extra laws. A big truck like that fills the gap between big-rear end pickup truck and tractor trailer nicely. International didn't build those with the intent of selling them to everyday scrubs like you and me. They're very purpose-built.

In the winter. A week after we got 9 inches of snow. Goodyear Eagle F1s were fun in the snow on my Mazdaspeed Protege. You just had to be reaaaaallly gentle. I ran Nitto slicks for a month one summer when I punctured one of my street tires and just swapped my track tires on. They got a little dicey in heavy rain.

A skid plate is likely to rain mud/grime down on a tech while (s)he wails on the rusty stuck bolts with an airgun. A canister oil filter, that's just laziness.

It's loving hilarious that people who like fake internet money that's based on a funny dog picture can throw enough real money at NASCAR* and get a car decorated to look like their fake internet money. Imagine the ramifications if, say, Clinton supporters got her a NASCAR or if some crazy rich person sponsored a NASCAR that just says "EARNHARDT SUCKS" on the side. 55 grand is a completely achievable amount of money, too. It's not like they built a LiteCoin Formula 1 car. *Not how it works but close enough.
