When I didn’t have health insurance and needed a cane to walk I would play this game with shitheads that drove up into the crosswalk. Do it, mfer, my spine is more expensive than your car.
I drove a 14 year old Hyundai and I would drive aggressively because I could play the game of “who cares more about their car”, I would never lose.
Sounds about like my '86 S.A.Ab. 900 SPG. Thing was a tank. A fast tank, but a tank nonetheless.
The Swedes always did build things rather sturdily…
Problem is with your 14 year old Hyundai, you probably don’t have full coverage, so your insurance is going to pay to fix his BMW, you are going to pay to replace your Hyundai, and your insurance rates are going up.
Why would anybody in their right mind not have full coverage with a shitbox car? It’s kinda the whole point.
- Blinker
- Mustn’t
- Work
It’s out of blinker fluid.
This is literally the first time I have ever seen someone say “mustn’t” on the internet
It looks less weird when not capitalized
Blinkers on BMWs are not included in the basic package.
Blinker subscription must’ve expired.
Not all Hyundais (or older cars) are the same. I get the spirit, but while my 17 year old Santa Fe has a lot of miles on it, I’d rather the assholes just stay away so I don’t have to go through the experience of a wreck, insurance, and possible new car payments on a newer vehicle that I have to relearn all the quirks. So I let the idiots fight each other and watch from afar as much as possible, which includes being a “beta” driver. But that’s what they taught us, right? Defensive driving?

First time I heard this theory was in a James Bond story. Bond meets a woman who drives a bashed up car. Same reasoning; if it looks like she’s dangerous people will steer clear of her.
What I like about my car is that it wears its history proudly.
And that scares the shit out of anyone around me because it looks like I intentionally smash into people.
It’s just how I got it, but I certainly enjoy using that to my advantage.
I get that. My Civic has been through the wringer lately.
Here it is in 2020 getting some minor flood damage.
It got high enough to mess with the computer, but the car still worked fine after. The odometer would just disappear sometimes. That has since resolved itself. But I’m sure that some electrical gremlins will crawl out of the woodwork in the next few years.
Here it is not six months later after a major hailstorm passed through.
I got on Safelite’s website immediately because I knew glass was going to be in short supply very soon. They came out a week later and threw a new one on. That was just over 300 bucks. Another great part of owning an old shitbox is how inexpensive parts are.
Aside from this, my wife got into an accident in it in 2015 and then I got rear ended twice in 2019. We still have the car. It keeps on trucking along. I do want to replace it with an Accord of the same vintage, but that’s because I want a cheap manual I can daily.
On my phone when I first saw the picture of the interior, the push-pull lever for gas tank flap and trunk looks like an angry face. Just thought you should know.
I miss my old accord so much.
I just did front brakes on my mk4 Jetta…. in the middle of a west coast snowfall, aka “the world is ending, just like last year!”
Simpler, cleaner design than industrial equipment, and that stuff is made to be worked on by gorillas like me. Actual work time was less than shoveling it out of 14” of falling snow.
All hail the manual shitbox!
oh my! so sad!
This happened to me today, what a coincidence.
You hit OP with your BMW?
I’ve noticed significantly less tailgating ever since my rear bumper and trunk were damaged from a dumb bitch that rear ended me last month.
I’d leave it as is… but, it’s pretty ugly. I want my baby back in shape.
Maybe it’s worth to get everything fixed but slapping a painted damage on the bumper to deter the racers. But then it will look ugly again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ha, yeah, I prefer nice looking v. bitchin’ about tailgating.
It’s very freeing. Not having to care about door dings in a tight parking lot is nice.
I drive an old Toyota pickup with almost nothing still attached in the factory way, I doubt I’d even notice if someone hit me.
I miss my '87 yota… 2WD long box, 5 speed hooked up to a 22r. Hands down the best $400 I ever spent honestly. It was fully painted in bed liner and had two different side mirrors, one of which disappeared while parked at a friend’s house over night, and a rusting box patched with spray foam (which always had moss growing out of it, no matter how much I cleaned or cut away). Sad times:
Damn that Hyundai is older than me
Btw, where is this image from?
The Pink Knight Returns
Is it good or as bullshit as it sounds?
I’m pretty sure that’s filthy frank
No that’s pink guy.
Facts right there
Especially with the recent ice storm
People in brand new $90k+ vehicles tailgating my 17 year old Kia like it’ll make me go faster
I’d gladly save some gas by letting them push me
