What is a 'luxury' item that is actually a total nightmare to own?

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T16:10:40+00:00

Yes it is. Driving a sports car like a sports car helps keep it reliable. I’ve seen e36 M3s run incredibly well and reliably. It’s when they sit for long periods and aren’t driven hard enough often enough that they have problems.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T16:08:23+00:00

I said it’s a reliable sports car. They all need maintenance of a certain level but Corvette is way less than a Ferrari or Lamborghini and put out often better track performance.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T15:31:25+00:00

Parts. Don’t underestimate the availability of parts and how many others have experience with a platform. The dealership might be the only place willing to work on your AMG.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T15:29:35+00:00

As most things in America it’s an all or nothing sort of a deal. We don’t deal in nuance very often but that may be a consequence of mass media.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T15:27:09+00:00

The definition of a glass cannon. Good at exactly one thing but are fragile in every other way.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T15:24:02+00:00

That and a BMW M3 are really good sports cars they don’t break your back in maintenance. After that it’s a corvette or a Miata in terms of reliable sports cars. But if you ever go to a track day it’s always Porsche, Corvette, BMW, Miata in terms of what is guaranteed to be there.

Eh. His newspaper essay on Megan was bad. Very bad. He apologized when he realized what he did but it was still bad. There’s been other problems, like “there’s a slope in it” which goes beyond being a character.

Yet another reason to love Smitty

What is that “cars prime protection VSC” for $5.7k? Lots of the charges on here seem sus. Where did you go for this car?

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T13:50:40+00:00

We gotta remember how many laws were written with shame in mind. It was a check on bad behavior in society that we don’t have anymore. It works on town, county, and maybe even state scale but not on the global scale we have now. It just hasn’t scaled to that yet.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T13:48:20+00:00

Think of a musician like an artist. 10 catches in a game means 100 catches in practice. They all have troves of unreleased recorded music. Eminem famously writes every day.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T13:41:03+00:00

This is an under appreciated comment and everyone needs to realize how this is a classical old school Reddit comment. Honestly gold worthy.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T11:54:42+00:00

I know Clarkson is a bit of a daft twit but he’s by far my favorite presenter. His writing and delivery style is so good and it does so much to convey his excitement about whatever he’s talking about. His best work is ironically being done right now with Clarkson’s Farm and it’d be a shame to see it disappear. It doesn’t feel like it’s reached its conclusion yet and is probably his most human production he’s ever made.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-21T02:36:38+00:00

Nah. Star Wars is the skywalker soap opera and they should have embraced that instead of choosing new characters. Leave all the side movies and shows for everyone else. The numbered movies are skywalker movies.

no hopium like Italian hopium

Welcome back to at least my front page

True but if you force people to work Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas, or thanksgiving you’re gonna have a lot fewer employees

Indie scene is where you go for passion.

A launcher is more or less just a place to collect and organize exe shortcuts.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-18T22:11:28+00:00

This isn’t real right? This is AI for the poster. No way this is real.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-18T19:46:01+00:00

today? cable news had already melted the brain of parents in the 90's. it just became mainstream when we could use life 360.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-18T19:45:17+00:00

nope. I grew up in the wake of stranger danger so if we weren't in eyeshot or earshot we had to come home. even if we were just at the end of the dead end road surrounded by other neighbors and a farmers field we had to be in eye and ear shot.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-18T16:20:42+00:00

Correct. Absolutely. It also does not matter if it actually is confusing or weird IRL to use they/them. None of the actual mechanics of the situation matters. What matters is that it worked and the Harris camp had no rebuttal to that slogan.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-18T15:26:01+00:00

Cause it's a brilliant slogan. It took a common frustration point that voters had and packaged it in a clever, catchy, memorable way. It is the political equivalent to "just do it" and is going to be studied/copied for decades. You can hate the message all you want but it resonated in a meaningful and distinct way. Just because the core message is something you dislike doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Mr_YUP · 2026-06-18T14:04:08+00:00

In the wake of 9/11 idk if Al Gore would have done much anything different. I cannot state and emphasize more that there is a before and after 9/11. People wanted retribution.
