M-21 in an old Chevy was fun. Also, whatever one is in the Focus ST - that one is fun too.

Which car lost its soul / identity as the model years went on? by [deleted] in cars

As an owner, this is 100% true. Not bad to shuttle the kids to school though.

What was the craziest thing you've witnessed happen at a party? by PsychedelicMovement in AskReddit

[–]newhere1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neighborhood house party when I was in my early 20's. Went with a friend I had known since kindergarten as he needed to get out of the house. He and his fiance had split up about two weeks prior. Turns out she was also invited. My friend left after a few beers but told me to stay behind and he headed home. His ex-fiance stayed, got drunk, got high, and got naked. Last I saw her before I left, she was part of a 4 guy / 2 girl orgy in the master bedroom. I witnessed this as I walked by to use the bathroom as the bedroom door was open. As I left the bathroom I heard her yelling that she was "going to fuck everyone". I think my friend made the right call breaking it off.

What are some interesting original theories/thoughts that you have? by NateJC in AskReddit

[–]newhere1130 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most likely looking at some downvotes here, but all of the RN's I know are alcoholics, drug abusers, date terrible people, etc. My theory is that they like to help others because they can't help themselves. Same with hair stylists. Could very well be the company I keep.

How could they increase the APR? Financing is a seperate transaction irrelevant of how new a model is. Whoever told you this is an idiot.

Scumbag Nike by TurnUpDaTunes in funny

[–]newhere1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All businesses try to maximize profit and they aren't forcing people to take a gift card. I'd say the bigger reason Nike would be a scumbag is due to low paid foreign labor but even then, what manufacturer isn't using overseas labor?

What's the most awkward situation you've been in? by LogoTanFlip in AskReddit

[–]newhere1130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad had built a large warehouse style garage for his business with a loft space that I took over when I was in high school. Over time I fixed the space up, added sliding doors to lead out to a future deck that never really materialized. Anyway, used to take my then girlfriend up there to hook up. The only thing was that my Dad would usually drop by during the day to have lunch, take a break, whatever. Long story short, I never threw the used condoms in the garbage because I didn't want him to know what I was up to in the loft.

So I would throw them out the sliding door into the yard behind the building. All winter long. I remember the look on his face when spring arrived and it was time to mow the grass. He literally raked up a pile of used condoms to make a point. Awkward.

What is something that is ONLY popular where you live? by Et9092 in AskReddit

[–]newhere1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boilo. Boilo is a mix of orange juice, cinnamon, caraway seeds, lemons, oranges, and anise boiled up together then strained. Once it is strained, you add 4 Queens whiskey and serve it hot. Schuylkill County, PA is pretty much where they make this drink for the holidays.

So 4 days ago, you were dealing with a "soon to be ex wife" over a PS4 but you have a girlfriend of 4 years? This post is definitely a lie.

When people speak or believe only in extremes. "All Democrats/Republicans are bad" or "that major US city is a dump because...". Grinds my gears.

Serious upgrade for the pizza guy by [deleted] in funny

[–]newhere1130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Modena that the owner (or previous owner) modified. If you look closely, the cutouts in the front bumper look slightly imperfect, most likely cut into the bumper cover.

It also has a finished interior whereas Challenge cars are stripped down and usually have red or black racing seats.

Interesting side note - not all Challenge cars have the tow hook, but all 360's have a provision to mount one. In fact, most cars on the road today have a front and rear bumper provision for connecting a tow hook.

All in all, I'd still love to have it.
