The cars and bikes thread!

I’m not sure if that was a parody video or not. Could go either way.

But, I’ll say this. Why do people spit vitriol online? It’s because people are garbage. Deep, deep down in their soul, the vast majority of people are meat and bones wrapped around a center of pure refuse. 99% of people you’ll ever meet are pieces of shit. And the internet allows them to release their inner landfill and spew it at the world so they can feel better about themselves. This isn’t just the car community. It’s everything. Read any comments section on YouTube, local news sites, anything. It’s filled with garbage human beings acting like garbage to one another. The internet gave people permission to be the horrible people that they are. If people acted in real life the way they do on the internet, Mad Max Fury Road would look like a child’s bedtime story in comparison.

That said, stanced cars are dumb.

Except for iwl. People are nice here.

I blame reality tv shows the baser elements in ones nature sells on those programs and so every one apes it .. said till I'm blue in the face morals have changed a lot thing once seen as strengths are now seen as weakness ( honest ,morals, respect ,courtesy )

..now things that once was seen a vile,disgusting ( lying ,cheating, robbing,.bad langues, ripping people off, disrespectful behave ) now seem to be acepted if not celebrated as good telly.

you know what oscar wilde said ...

art imitates life imitates art.....

[Seriously]

Ugh! There's a Mini S with manual transmission from the nearby dealership in a color I want (Volcanic Orange), optioned just the way I want, with nothing I don't want - in a word, just about perfect. Back several weeks when I test drove one (not this one, it was blocked in) the salesman said nobody wants the manuals. He was shocked I wanted to test drive one...

Now that I want a Mini, I pay more attention to them on the road (law of attraction, I guess) I think they look cool (despite what my wife thinks - she calls it a clown car), but I saw a Volcanic Orange one the other day driving down the road and it triggered an emotion. It just looked cooler than all the rest, which solidified my want for the one sitting on the lot.

So when I can get this Audi settlement situated, I thought I'd just head over and make an offer on the Orange Mini. It's been sitting there untouched for months. I've been driving by the dealership to make sure it was still there, like 5 times or so in the last three weeks... I almost considered just buying it sooner and applying the money from the settlement when I got it towards the loan...but I didn't.

Well wouldn't you know it, they sold it this past Sunday to somebody from Virginia who did the deal online and came down to get it. Probably somebody just like me who really wanted the manual in that color. The nerve

I talked to the dealer on Monday and said he would check inventory across the country... No dice on any 2018s in MT in that color..None!!. Damn it! And to make things worse, they discontinued the color for 2019. Double damn it. I even asked if Mini could do a custom paint on a 2019 - nope. I don't see why not, but whatever.

I'm really upset about this. I had it in my head that car was already mine...

Lesson learned - if you see a car you want buy it immediately!

Got the bike modding bug. Crash bungs and tail tidy fitted, need some tools to fit the replacement levers. I could get excited about tools I reckon. Next I think an akraprovic exhaust, rizoma bar end mirrors, led indicators...
