I just got back from Italy, so this gif was initially "so what?" In Rome my taxi got passed on the sidewalk.

blk, get her to take unpaid leave. Italy is lovely, she must go with you.Negromancer posted:When I was in sicily we were on a city bus that was passing stopped traffic in the oncoming lane. He would just drive in the wrong lane, and when a car came at us he just pushed his way back into the correct lane. This was on a 2 lane street and everyone seemed completely fine with that as well. One of our taxi drivers in Rome used the oncoming lanes' taxi lane instead of his own, then honked repeatedly at anything attempting to enter that lane from the correct direction because a Jersey barrier prevented him from returning to the right side of traffic until he had finished. We got a Peugeot 5008 in Naples at 3am to get to the airport and he didn't get out of boost until we were at the airport parking lot getting honked and sworn at by the tiny street sweeper he drove the wrong way down a roundabout to pass. I sorta wish I could just take Italian taxis all day because it was like an autocross ridealong with much less skill and way more terror. What a country.

NitroSpazzz posted:Then there's the cars...holy poo poo the cars over here, I need to start taking photos and dumping them on here. Lots of old Citroen, Unimog, Mercs then all sorts of newer little cars that we don't get in the US. I just got back from Italy and stuffed my flickr with clever little European cars. I love the Fiat Panda in particular.

I didn't realize 27 was such a big deal. I'm 28 in July and don't feel particularly old.. except when I hurt my back lifting tires with my back instead of my knees like I did last night. Don't worry, almost-27-crew, it gets better.

bandman posted:And that hipster status is reflected in the market. Clapped out, crashed, 250k mile, pre-1987 240s are going for $2000 minimum here in Atlanta. And they never maintain the loving things either, so as soon as they leave them stranded perfectly pristine 240s end up in the junkyard with a parts-only title until they get crushed for China.

Motronic posted:Things get even stupider when we have to start talking about reporting and databases and what data exists and what doesn't even though "it really seem like we have that." Oh, it SEEMS like it? From your view as a salesperson it seems like it? I'm LOOKING AT THE loving TABLES. It is NOT THERE and there is no way to capture it for transactions that occurred in the past. "Why can't we display that field on the screen?" "Because it's not in the file, so we can't load it into the database, so we didn't create a column for it in the table, so we can't load that column into the entity to display it on the screen." "Why don't you just add the field to the screen and have it do nothing, because adding a field takes a long time and I don't want to do this again next release?" "Adding a field takes a long time because of the stuff I just mentioned, not because of adding a field to the screen..." (repeat until meeting ends)

Cat Terrist posted:HOW is credit rating relavent to insurance risk?????? That blows my mind. More likely to commit insurance fraud if they're deadbeats in general? That's the only thing I can think of, and it's certainly not true for STR (though given his near-death experiences and job I'd probably put him firmly in the high risk category anyway, sorry duder).

God drat is it ever hard to find straight lumber these days. I can't even get a 4x4 that's worthy of being a fencepost.trouser chili posted:Good news! I sold the 76 Nova to "Crazy" Teremus (pronounce ty-remus). He was stoked, and possibly drunk or on drugs. I'm not sure. He said he rode the bus to someplace nearby and bought some cologne, vodka, and beer at Walgreens before he came here. Whatever, he showed up all sweaty and also blathering on about his Prada sunglassess to my wife while apologizing for some reason I'm not sure. He then shoved money in my hand, grabbed the keys and tore rear end down the street shouting "NOOO-VAAA!" out the windows. I'm not making GBS threads. Afterwords my wife looked up his name on casenet, it had several pages. I think you just met the world's only fourth gen Nova enthusiast. If you run into him again, tell him I know where he can get a two-door.

Yeah honestly I almost bought the 2-door I just mentioned. There's another one that's been gutted, tubbed and put on air suspension with no engine or drivetrain in it on Kijiji too. Slung Blade knows how often I look at it.

Hahahahaha you poor loving bastard ahahahahahah. Don't let any water into the interior. That white pearl also cannot be inexpensively repaired, it needs whole car blends for even a replacement door. I got screwed out of a similarly pearl white UrS4 earlier this year and when I recovered from the anger I actually realized what I had dodged. It was like being late to work on 9/11. Good luck because man am I ever going to be jealous of you when you drive it. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jun 29, 2014 |
