Saw this in the parking lot of the gas station. The giant spoiler and massive exhaust weren't shocking, but I'm pretty sure this was a dryer vent cut into the hood. It was also duct tapped all around.

Fast & Furious is a conspiracy that the Obama administration intentionally gave guns to Mexcican cartels to drive up gun violence in order to enact tougher gun control laws.

I always ask people how low they will take right off the bat. It gives me a gauge if they can negotiate or are a softie. Usually it will drop the price a bit and I can start from there. If it's someone who balks then I appear to be a poor negotiator and it puts me at an advantage.

Geirskogul posted:No, it makes you seem like a douchebag in negotiating, or that you don't understand how negotiations work. And it doesn't put you at an advantage, because then the seller thinks you're not going to bother with negotiating and you end up pissing them off later if/when you actually decide to start to. Pissing off the seller is a horrible tactic if you're trying to buy something. To be fair most people don't give half a poo poo. Most things I'm buying there are plenty of examples so if someone is upset with dealing with a seller I can just move on. I've yet to have someone refuse a sale.

IIRC you can do the heart, little Texas state, & spaces/dashes/periods. On myplates, the @ is for the heart, and the * for the state. Strangely the only other special character you can type is a % sign, but it backs it out immediately, so it may be used for something else in the future or maybe a government plate.

surebet posted:Terrible car thing: I'm in a hospital waiting for imaging and for the last 10 minutes some classy lady has been recounting the accident she caused that killed three people in which she somehow manages to make herself out as the victim because the police officers asked her hard questions. Laughter is a pretty common response when you're under a lot of stress. I've talked to someone who killed a cyclist and they were laughing but you could tell they were really off.

Safety Dance posted:Theft is a comprehensive claim in most (all?) US states, and as such, is only covered if you have comprehensive coverage. Yeah, comprehensive or "other than collision" depending on the state verbiage. If you didn't have it you've just out of luck, unless you can somehow collect civil damages from the party. Most cases like these it'd be like getting blood from a stone though.

Captain Trips posted:They supposedly are, but I don't understand this at all. Is there really nothing in a water-damaged car that can be salvaged? Body panels, wheels, glass? Depends on the severity I imagine. Some flood cars get cleaned up and resold (don't buy these). Some places may just scrap them all together. Where's the picture from I wonder?

Ireland has always had some poor judgement. Like the time he said he had to go home from the national team because his grandma died. When she was found to be alive, he said it was the other grandma...who also was found to be alive.

Delivery McGee posted:I knew I recognized that uniform (and, I think, that tree in the background.) Dude ate poo poo in Dallas less than a day after taking delivery of the car, of course. Depending on how severe some of the damage is, often times it can't be safely repairable. If it's Texas and the cost to repair is higher than the ACV of the car it gets branded salvage, which requires a whole lot of hoops (repaired, inspections, etc) to get it re-registered for on the road driving. Part availability is probably a pretty big concern for these as well.
