I have plenty. And I’m not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like “get a hobby”.

You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

It was able to get onto the trailer under it’s own power, and I drove it to work the following Monday… it needed a water pump to be “driveable” but I ended up doing a few other things to the car. It was an old Geo Metro and I wanted one to tinker with. I spent about $600 getting the car like I wanted it.

I’m reminded of Bender:

“This isn’t even about you”

“That’s impossible!”

I once bought a more or less running car for $50.

Wet rental?

“So tell me about yourself”

“It’s all on the resume”

See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it’s funny.

Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.

That happened to me once! I was 15 and going to school, was riding a Lotus Eclair I’d fixed up. I entered the school zone and wanted to see if I could get over 25 mph. But there was a cop hiding and I got a ticket. I had to tell my parents, and I think they were impressed with my 31 in a 25 speeding ticket.

The best part was having to go to court, and the judge asking how I got a Lotus (she was thinking of a car) and then upon learning the truth, asking the officer why he was wasting his time stopping a kid on a bicycle.

I see all these silly rules being floated and part of me almost wishes I was back in high school so I could be really annoying.

Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.

Oh, perfect for that.

Speaking as someone who has suffered an original air cooled Beetle, they’re cool but I wouldn’t try to daily it. The lack of power steering would be far, far down your list of issues you will run into.

But for paralell parking a beetle specifically it can be a challenge, because reverse doesn’t work like you expect. You have to push the gear lever down, like straight down toward the ground, and hold it, to put it in reverse. So you have to steer with one hand and hold the shifter with the other.

I have this weird little vehicle from the 1980’s. I can best describe it as a Japanese Jeep. It wasn’t ever a “big” vehicle, but seeing it next to a modern truck is jarring.

The best part is, I know from direct repeated personal experience that the 60 horsepower 4wd can go more places than a typical 4wd truck.

EDIT: Also, the truck in this picture is a 2004-2008, a 2023 is even bigger…

Have you tried to buy a Maverick?

Yeah, I’d be a-okay with an fm radio and roll down windows in a compact hatchback, thanks. You people with your fancy cars. It’s all going to be trash with the flick of a firmware update.

Nobody makes fun of my wife’s little econobox anymore. 1.2 liter engine, 5 speed, and a radio.

I was living in Oklahoma and I remember some of the local media mentioning this “coronavirus” thing that was spreading in China. I also remember people joking about Corona (the beer) being suddenly less popular.

Then in February, March, and April it getting more and more serious, and this is about the time that people started claiming it wasn’t real, and if it was, it wasn’t that bad, and if it was, then it was from a chinese lab bent on taking down the US…

April-May had me re-adjusting my previous opinions of people around me that I thought were rational.

“I’m going to business school!”

Something tells me stolen cars are shipped in bulk.
