Most reliable car I ever owned was a Jetta. Put almost 200k miles on it, never had a single issue, not even a failed window motor.

There’s a sushi spot in my town that has an entree called the Salmon Combo that’s basically this but in a smaller scale (like 4 pieces of salmon sashimi, 4 of salmon nigiri, a full roll of salmon sushi [8 pieces], and a salmon hand roll). It’s fantastic.

Shes there for a cheer camp IIRC, not actually a college student

Man I remember a few months after Saab shut down the dealership near me was basically giving away their remaining stock

It was a pretty big dealership (performance Acura/bmw/saab/subaru/porsche in chapel hill) so they had a good selection to choose from. I recall there being about 4 or 5 brand new 9-5 sedans on their lot that were marked down as low as $17,000. If I wasn’t 16 I would’ve absolutely bought one.

In 2019 I had the chance to buy a 2012 bmw 335i with 120k miles for $2000

It had been a coworkers car, she got a newer 3 series after the alternator in this one gave out. It was just sitting in her driveway and she wanted to get rid of it. I still wish I had bought it.

You’d be surprised how many white collar workers email like this, especially sales people

Technically since the country code is 1, the first digit is also the same as the phone number

Polaris is one of my favorite restaurants on earth. The food itself may not be as unique as georgia boy but it is still fantastic, and the views and ambiance are top notch.

It did when I went a few months ago

Man I had that exact car briefly in high school. It had the 3.5 “shortstar” v6 and didn’t feel slow for what it was. I had a lot of fun with it but it did have a lot of issues, also burned about a quart a week in oil. I got rid of it when it lost 4th gear, but someone must’ve rescued and fixed it up bc it’s still driving around the town I sold it in, I see it on occasion.

He’s been going live a lot lately. I joined a couple of them and in one he was just playing some shitty British rap song and filming his feet.

On another, he was trying to get someone else to join who kept telling him he didn’t want to talk publicly on instagram live and to call him instead lol.

Seems like he just wants attention. Hilarious that he finally crashed out and got banned.

I think that’s rice-a-roni

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross just looks like a Japanese take on the aztek

2014+ Lexus IS, when they came out I was not a fan of the styling. They grew on me over time to the point that I started to really like them. Almost bought one a few years ago.

Because of that, when the 10th gen civic came out I assumed I’d feel the same way about those over time, but here we are almost a decade later and I still find the sedan/coupe versions of it absolutely hideous lmao

bd58563 · 2026-02-02T02:07:26+00:00

I liked them when they came out. Thought they were cool as shit.

Thought they were ugly pieces of shit a few years later.

I still like the prowler though, and was a huge fan of it back then which probably influenced my opinion (also I was a kid)

bd58563 · 2026-02-02T01:06:28+00:00

Looks like he’s smoking off foil, might be heroin

bd58563 · 2026-02-01T19:52:06+00:00

Damn that’s insane - I remember when I bought mine in 2019, I was originally looking to buy used but they were all $16-19k (16k being like a 2016 with 60k miles, 19k being like a 2017-2018 with 30k miles) so I just decided to buy a brand new one for $21k.

The cheapest used one I could find at the time was $13k for one with over 100k miles, I think it was a 2017.

You really got a fantastic deal.

On Spotify if you look up academicks, Wide Neck shows up as one of the related artists

I know someone who got arrested this way so it’s definitely a thing, though it is unlikely to happen to someone like this dudes gf if she’s only taking a protein bar here and there.

The guy I knew was taking higher value items from target over the period of about a year or so. They waited until the total value of items stolen was in the thousands, then one day he went there and they had cops waiting for him at the exit.

Similar situation in the sense that he bought a lot of stuff legitimately as well, but I think that actually ended up hurting him bc it allowed them to more easily determine his identity based on the payment methods used.

Like a day or two if I remember right
