RE: Would you live with this?
@rctothefuture said in Would you live with this?:
If it meant you got to hear this every day?
If I got to hear that every day I'd be happy.
The worry is I wouldn't get to hear it every day because it was broken.

TBT - Old Oppo PoTD
Sparked by @jayvincent 's reply to me yesterday, welcome to "Old Oppo Post of The Day"--a semi-regular series in which I present to you an archived kinja-Oppo post of my choosing. It may be a well thought out, informative piece. It may be a build post. It may be a shitpost I deem worthy of particular praise. Or, it may simply be chosen at random.
Today, I present to you, Tow me down! by @HammerheadFistpunch.

Staying on track
Felt like dumping a few photos tonight. Same place, a few months apart.

Clarkson is (deservedly) best known for being a knob, but the man's got some good, accurate similes
For example: "The [left] lane is like the toilet. You go in, do your business, and get out. You don't stay in it all day."
I know I'm preaching to the choir but please. Listen to the man.
Car for your time
...you may also note I'm having trouble settling on a title

Old Oppo PoTD - Brian1321 Edition
Welcome to "Old Oppo Post of The Day"--a semi-regular series in which I present to you an archived kinja-Oppo post of my choosing. It may be a well thought out, informative piece. It may be a build post. It may be a shitpost I deem worthy of particular praise. Or, it may simply be chosen at random.
Today, partly because I haven't done this in a while, and partly because screw you this is my series I'll do what I want, I present a selection of Brian1321 posts. Don't forget the comments section.

Predictable first search result
Sitting in an enclosed touchless car wash in an uncatalyzed vehicle with nothing better to do raised the question:
What else should I have expected, really.
Needless to say, I survived...

RE: I work with neanderthals...
@doodon2whls counterpoint, it works equally well either way, so people who get hung up over one way or another make me want to drill a hole in the roll and mount it sideways for fun...

RE: Why People Buy Crossovers - Explained (OP Update)
@musashi66 said in Why People Buy Crossovers - Explained:
We love to pretend that CUVs are a menace and unnecessary, but they are just another evolution in cars. Cars between 1900-1945 or so were more like today's CUVs than like today's sedans.
This is actually a huge point. Early cars were basically crossovers. There was a good post on OG Oppo about how the influence of one Caddy designer wanting everything longer and lower... don't know how much of an exaggeration it was, but he certainly would have had SOME influence. You could view CUV's as a return to the norm rather than a fad... which is admittedly somewhat depressing...

RE: Milestone Achieved
@jordan I love that 80mph and 2000rpm happen at the same time

RE: Speaking of Rabbit Holes
@just-jeepin There was a guy like that on 355nation as well... But for some reason he could never tell me how many V8s were made like mine. Actually think there may have been someone on Oppo too, same result...

RE: My bad...
@dr-zoidberg I've been seeing this a lot... Closing the tab and reopening it (ctrl-shift-t) seems to fix it. PITA, but whatever...
