President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm sure some do. It's not nearly as prevalent as it used to be, for a variety of reasons.

 

Shit yes I drove it. The salesman looked at my face and was already counting his commission. I'm in a fairly reckless time in my life, and I'm not sure who was more shocked when I said I needed to think about it: me or him.

I really am driving a Honda Fit tomorrow. Hopefully there is a jar in it somewhere for my balls.

 

Not as much. That's what phones are for.

 

I will be getting a new car next spring to replace my 2003 Toyota Corolla. I could at this point afford a hot car or a really nice one, but there's no point here in Boston. It's bound to get dinged (I had two accidents last 10 years, each time I was stopped at a red light) and the weather eats cars up. So something OK that goes in snow is my only goal.

 

This is my fear.

 

Enjoy your 2018 Toyota Corolla, Michael.

 

That makes me a bit sad. Some of my best times with friends were spent just cruising around, listening to the radio and shooting the bull. Hell, my wife and I used to do pre-kid as well. We'd go driving around looking at houses and neighborhoods.

 

If not for Trump and Matt Lauer, this would be getting more play. Maybe.

In comparing life expectancy in the U.S. to that of other, similarly developed countries, a goodly portion (about half if you're talking about men) of the gap can be explained by three things -- drugs, guns and cars.

That's quite a piece of video when he swallows it.

 

Fuck 'em. It's your life. Live it.

You don't have to buy a ground pounding dinosaur with 700 hp. You can have a lot of fun (and a degree of practicality) with a hot hatchback or a smaller coupe. Hellcat is a full bore muscle car, which isn't my taste but I understand the appeal, and if that's what turns you on then yeah, you're going to suck down gas and pump out C02. If it isn't, look at a Civic SI while you're at the Honda dealer. Look at a VW Golf GTI. Hell, look at a two or three year old BMW 3 series.

Whatever it is, go on and do it now, so you'll have memories later instead of regrets. I drove practical beaters forever, but when my parents passed and I came into some inheritance money, I bought a $6,500 Miata. I've never turned them loose. We've been through five of them now, because as soon as I got mine my wife realized that she didn't want to drive a fatass rolling couch of a standard American car either.

There are lots of choices out there. Hellcat is pretty extreme, but you can get the same adrenaline rush with a lot of other choices... but if it moves you, buy a red Porsche. Midlife crisis be damned, that just means that you are at a point in your life that you can do what you want to and they are sniping out of envy.

 

But not the doorman.
