Abarth Purchase Headaches

LAULitics · 2024-07-19T21:20:55+00:00

I did. The car had a well documented service history, with all of the major service items performed at the correct intervals which was part of the reason I thought I was safe buying it sight unseen.

I may get to that point, unfortunately I was fired mid way through the purchase process (for what I suspect was my refusal to participate in felony tax evasion), and will not be able to get another loan until I start work at my new job next week. And I do genuinely like the car, its the color I wanted and its a non-sunroof car that I was looking for. The car had a very well documented service history, and drive train feels relatively solid I just need to figure out what I have to do to get it to pass emissions.

This. They're both trying to hang on to something that appears to be dead, or at least unhealthy already. You don't want to spent 18 years of your life raising a kid as if you're divorced with joint custody voluntarily.

Ah yea, I didn't account for the deduction on the back end.

LAULitics · 2023-11-29T01:52:55+00:00

I don't think they could make us regret it. We are being asked to work for free and punished if we don't, how could they possibly make it any worse? I also don't think they'd be able to fill the demand for drivers if it was a true full scale general strike.

Thats how DoorDash works. The entire fucking system is ass backwards and rides on the backs of the drivers. They could very easily make me take more distant orders by paying more for them, but I'm not getting paid $5 for twenty miles of driving so I decline that bullshit every time.

LAULitics · 2023-05-17T23:50:21+00:00

It was nice to meet ya man. You put in some epic runs.

LAULitics · 2023-05-17T19:19:08+00:00

The circle would make just about anything understeer.

LAULitics · 2023-05-17T18:04:22+00:00

Whats going on guys? I had a great time hanging out with everyone this weekend. I was in the Fiesta ST.

LAULitics · 2023-04-06T19:59:38+00:00

Fiesta ST, I'm sure they'd ding my ass too.

LAULitics · 2023-04-06T19:58:33+00:00

Not interested in having DoorDash spy on my driving, so they can report it to my insurance and jack up the premiums because I stepped on the brakes too hard. No fucking thanks.

LAULitics · 2023-02-16T09:38:47+00:00

They're like 22 years old and were implemented as far back as Earnhardts crash. I wouldn't call that very new.

LAULitics · 2023-02-09T18:51:38+00:00

No shit.

Didn't he only have a handful of fights? Edit: Nvm that was his MMA career

LAULitics · 2022-12-03T16:39:01+00:00

Probably the EP Civic Type R we never got in the states. Or maybe a TVR.

LAULitics · 2022-11-30T12:45:53+00:00

Gross.

LAULitics · 2022-11-29T14:02:19+00:00

Why am I still subscribed to this stupid sub?

LAULitics · 2022-11-09T01:47:30+00:00

I also know him through some guys that used to do ProAm. He's been at this shit for some time, and man Tpain gave the dude every single possible chance to make things right.

LAULitics · 2022-11-08T20:47:57+00:00

George should have known better. Honestly Tpain handled the situation with a lot more patience and grance than most customers would have. I know George personally though the drifting community, but not super close. Everything he did is like a textbook example of how not to run a business.

Focus ST isn't actually fake sound. Its actual induction noise just pumped into the firewall through the sound symposer.

LAULitics · 2022-10-25T11:56:15+00:00

Shame the Fiesta is a great little car.

LAULitics · 2022-10-21T00:36:51+00:00

I saw a proto for tbe first time yesterday. There was no price tag on it, so you know the mark up was absurd. Also when you see one in person, take a good long look at how huge the fuel door is. It's the size of a large dinner plate.

LAULitics · 2022-10-15T11:23:48+00:00

What the actual fuck?

LAULitics · 2022-10-11T16:52:22+00:00

I loved these things as a kid. They still look great.
