DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!

Not everything needs to turn a profit you dirty Jew. If you plan on buying a sports car and you plan on it being the one then what does it matter if it depreciates to nothing in a few years? Kindly face the wall please

i bought a pre owned certified nissan like 5 years ago for sub 10k and i'm still driving it. the most expensive thing that failed was the fuel injector which i got replaced. it's currently paid off.

my boomer parents meanwhile have gone through 3 Ford/Dodge cars since then at 30k+ each which were obviously not even close to paid off.

I remember fucking a woman in my Porsche Cayman. We were in Palm Desert, up in the mountains, overlooking the town. First date. Picked her up and she looked at the car and almost started salivating. Sushi dinner. Few drinks. Nice drive.
Oh God I will never, ever, ever in my life forget that night. We broke up after a few dates but that first date was one of the best I ever had.
protip: you need to get into the passenger seat, push the seat all the way back, and let her put her legs in the driver seat and let her ride side saddle. She was skinny so it worked because I could move her up and down.

Wrong. All new petrol and diesel cars are set to be banned in the UK starting in 2030. Electric cars will eventually take over market share and will be the norm in the future. All electric cars at the moment are automatic transmission. There will be demand for manual cars in the future. I will buy as many manual cars for myself and hoard them. Car enthusiasts and younger generation who wants to try out a manual car will come to me. I will keep manual transmission alive for as long as I am alive.

The "muscle car" magazines were promoted by US car manufacturers as psyop to create a consumer culture so that american buyers would not stray away American vehicle manufactures.

There is a law still existing called the chicken tax law, it prohibits small foreign trucks from being imported into the US as a way to kill outside competition.
