OT: 109th Obsequious Banter Thread: In the Driver's Seat

[Rebels57]

If there was an stat for time spent waiting on the tarmac waiting for the gate to be ready per 60. Always seems to happen to me. Flight was supposed to get in 2 hrs ago

Air Travel is almost comically bad nowadays.

A neighbor of mine had a right side drive early 60s Mercedes convertible. Gorgeous car.

Always been extremely partial to the McLaren MP4-12C:

Also have a soft spot for the Lotus Exige:

My mom is getting open heart surgery this morning (8:00am CST). Specifically, a mitral valve replacement. Positive thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Sending good vibes your way.

We had one of these when I was a kid, but it needed too much work and we ended up letting it go. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one again.

I'm probably going to get roasted for this but... I don't understand the obsession with cars. Like I'm totally fine with other people being really into cars and stuff, but I'm just not into it. Does it have four wheels, a steering wheel, and the ability to move me from place to place? That is all I'm really looking for.

I've never really been a "car guy," but I appreciate the eye appeal of a nice set of wheels. When I was a kid, a guy owned a 60s-era red Jaguar E-Type a couple of neighborhoods over. It was fire engine red, with shimmering spoked wheels, black rag top, and that unusually sweet slipper shape to it. It reminded me of one of my Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars, so it immediately connected with me as something I would always want to have.

Not red, though. Red is for bitches.

It would save me a ton of money to think like this

If you're on a budget, you can always go this route (although it can get pricey pretty fast)

I might go this. If you see a devilishly handsome man with chiseled features...I'll be standing near him.

Relieving him of his wallet.

I was slyly inferring that the devilishly handsome man was me...until the twist at the end.

 

[BernieParent]

Not one thing about me is precious.

So are you pericious or postcious?

Did he miss a tune?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Did he miss a tune?

Probably played Stairway to Heaven

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

The casual shoe throw at the end.

 

[Jack Straw]

All that just because he messed up the intro to Stairway to Heaven?

Probably played Stairway to Heaven

Damn you

 

[Cody Webster]

The casual shoe throw at the end.

Definitely the best part

I just want to know what the hell prompted all of that.

Acting like a dummy while under the influence, likely. Dude's faded af laying on the sidewalk

My mom’s open-heart mitral valve replacement surgery was a success! There were some complications apparently (post-surgery) but she’s going to be okay!
