Jesus Christ i swear humanity is actively getting dumber. I just had an argument with someone online that because Dettol lists that it kills "Human Coronavirus" it means the new Novel Wuhan strain is actually man made and a conspiracy to actively kill off a large portion of the planets population.

Ignoring the fact that Human Coronavirus includes the SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome strains and they've been known and identified since 2003 and 2012.

But noooooo, that cant be what Dettol are referring too on their packaging dated in 2019 at all...... gently caress me dead, we're doomed.

i mean there are a zillion kinds of coronavirus, iirc the common cold is generally a mild coronavirus

I like cars. I like cars so much I'm buying another today. I am however sad because when I looked up how to completely disable traction control, to provide the much necessary burnout video, I discovered people are breaking engine mounts when/if the tires hook up. So unless we get snow or I put something slippery down I probably can't appease the masses.

Just do what my dirtbag friend did and hook up some junkyard windscreen washers full of bleach to spray at the rear tyres

Move out here and even the mildest snowstorm will convince you that your 115 horsepower is lapping the Nurburgring at 11/10ths.

NO way snow is God's way of saying "don't live here"

as someone who lives in New Zealand which basically gets JDM Lite i'm assuming a 100% RHD mad tyte JDM household is the USA Equivalent of the dudes that imported LHD Muscle Cars
(I'm still kind of laughing at the dudes who imported a bunch of LHD Mustangs and then Ford decided to start selling them in RHD though)

Not nearly as funny as one of my boomer neighbours ordering one custom converted to rhd for around 6 figgies only for it to get delayed to the point that there were factory rhd mustangs available by the time it was delivered

There are IROCs in Aus? How much are they going for over there?

I'm so excited to see this one tomorrow, probably setting myself for disappointment lol

I haven't seen any irocs for sale in a while but a friend of mine got a firebird 305 for a steal (10k) and the last z28 305 5 speed I saw for sale was nearly 25k. Note that the Australian dollery doo is about 2/3rds the seppo dollar
