GutBomb posted:Yeah but as soon as they dig them out of their purse to find them they put them in the ignition so they know exactly where the keys are, and then when they stop the car they pull them out of the ignition and put them back in their purse. I have no idea how one could lose their keys in such a situation. Clearly you've never dated anyone with a big purse. I could read War and Peace cover to cover with the amount of time I've spent standing next to a car door waiting for girlfriends to find their goddamn keys in their purses.

Invalido posted:This car managed to stay within noise limits and continue totally-not-racing in the 24 hour "endurance test" in which it took part. The terrible car stuff is the turbo that broke down shortly after, starting a fire that abruptly ended the totally-not-a-race for that year. What car is it?

Slavvy posted:This car is a facelift. It's also one of the biggest turds I've ever seen, terrible bodykit, paint with bog visibly everywhere and poo poo just falling apart in general. The guy thinks that just because it's a factory manual (not turbo) he can get, like, eight grand for it bro. Hey I sold my '98 240 with 115k miles for 9 grand in 2004. It was a base model with 14" wheels and automatic transmission with some minor paint and body damage from the PO. I have no problem taking advantage of idiots with their parent's money.

This Hellcat driver is pretty terrible car stuff. http://youtu.be/kG6veF_34QE?t=1m4s The best (worst) part is the comments. Elitist uninformed idiots against snobby grammatically incorrect uninformed asshats. You can label each side of the argument as you see fit.

Geoj posted:To be fair, finding an unmolested, rust-free and mechanically sound mid-90s Explorer would be a pretty tall order at this point. Guess it depends on what part of the country you're in. I did a quick Craigslist search near me and this one is $2,400 and already comes with the correct Eddie Bauer wheels, body kit, seats (including leather and beige color). And of course no rust, being a SoCal car. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/4897426981.html Throw on some paint and you're 90% there.

Linedance posted:Could you imagine the outcry if someone had suggested driving down the sidewalk and out the next driveway? wayfinder posted:Or just over the lawn and around the tree If I were in my Jeep I would have no problem driving over the curb, but I'm not going to risk damaging the extremely low profile tires and wheels or possibly running over and breaking the sprinklers in my yard because some rear end in a top hat parked in front of my driveway. Why should I go out of my way and risk costing myself money because this shitheel doesn't look before parking his car? The rear bumper of my bright red car was about 6 feet way from his face when he parked. xzzy posted:Then there'd be whining about ruining the bodywork when whatever low-slung hatchback that is grinds against the curb. You just don't do that man. It's a 2014 Fiesta ST, and I would nearly certainly scratch up the wheels going over the curb on the side of the driveway. The wheel sits lower than the curb height - I checked.

Geoj posted:While I kind of like their idea of using a hearse Ecto 1 will always be a 50s Cadillac ambulance to me. When the first Ghostbusters was made in 1984, their 1959 Cadillac ambulance was 25 years old. The characters didn't have a lot of money with their startup ghost busting company, so they found a crappy, old, and therefore cheap car with room inside to carry themselves and their gear. Now, 31 years later, the '59 Cadillac is an absolute classic that harkens to an era of design that is arguably one of the most beautiful and sought after in American automotive history. So it makes no sense for the characters in the modern movie to pick a super rare, beautiful, and therefore expensive classic. Instead, they also buy a 25 year old Cadillac themselves, which is about as sought after as the original '59 was in 1984 - so they land on a 1990 year model. As far as I can tell, Cadillac wasn't making ambulances out of their sedans in 1990, but they were making hearses (and after a quick Craigslist search, are in the $4,000 range now in good condition.) Makes total sense to me.

I had a family reunion last week in Oregon and my father rented a VW Passat. It was a decent car, except there was a pretty nasty smell coming from the trunk that was half masked by some cleaning agent. A few hours into the drive to the reunion we stopped for food and I emptied the trunk to find the floor soaked with this putrid and definitely organic fluid of some sort. It had soaked into the suitcases and bags. Awful. By the time we got to the resort a few hours later you could smell the car from 30 feet away. I opened the trunk the next day to air it out and it looked like this:   Horrible. We called Enterprise and they couldn't help us because they had no cars. Two days later they still had no cars and couldn't help us. They offered a free tank of gas as compensation, which didn't work for me. So I took to Twitter and made a simple tweet.  We got a new car the next day, a Chevy Captiva, which was a huge POS, but at least it didn't smell like dead animals. I'm glad they made it right, and also gave a $260 refund, but it sucks that we have to publicly shame companies now to get them to fix their poo poo. By the way, I never actually rode in the Passat from hell. This was my ride, and it was loving incredible:  If it weren't so big and hard to park in LA, I'd absolutely buy the hell out of a minivan.

This car pretty much wraps back around to awesome again, but ultimately I guess it fits in this thread. Mostly because he chopped the top off a unibody car without any visible bracing. And look at that camber!  What are those, 30" tall?

Amazingly the driver is using a turn signal. It's just that he's doing it from the wrong lane with no less than 3 signs and a huge NO TURN on the ground telling him not to turn. The driver of the Honda started yelling at the person, who then almost hit the oncoming cars and my friend as he/she tried to get back into the correct lane to go straight.

You have to zoom in to appreciate the stupidity. There are wheels under the driver and passenger frame rails, but the car isn't actually resting on them. Plus it's on an incline and the front is only held up with a scissor jack (under the license plate). Part of me wanted to warn him, and part of me wanted to stay and watch.
