So my dad moved my truck today...i swear he fkn touched every seat button there is! Now i can't get comfortable again. I'm so pissed

Ps. We are the same height!

If all he's doing is "moving it", why the hell did he touch the seat settings?

Thankfully my Audi has memory for that... just press 1 button and it goes back exactly how I set it.

You have the same question as I do. And i have the seat memory function as well, believe it or not in an '01. I've just never used it cause it's my truck.

I gave him so much shit today lol.

I use it, because you never know when you take a vehicle in for any kind of service, whether they're going to feel the need to move things

Are you suggesting I need to go in for service?! I kid I kid. It's a nice feature to have, I just gotta read the manual to figure it out

I used to always set my wife's navigation system language to Afrikaans until she figured out how to change it back

So that 2012 Hyundai Elantra I bought my baby's mama a few months ago ... f***ing stolen and joy rided.

Apparently Hyundai's and Kias from certain years are easy to steal and theres a tik tok video of it.

Car was recovered not far away. Sideswipped something and the guts and ignition are all pulled out and ruined. But Ill have to pay her 1k deductible

Thank god she had comprehensive coverage.

I gotta move away from these section 8 areas. Trash everywhere. I smoke weed but not at 10 am outside on the sidewalks like these grown f*** mother f***ers, smashing their bottles of liquor where kids run and play.

I moved out of Baltimore City so I didnt have to deal with this shit. I guess 15 miles wasnt far enough away.

Im over it.

Audi owns Lambo and the Huracan and the R8 both share the same V10. It is a touch de-tuned and less raucous in the Audi, as you'd expect; the R8 is known as a "Huracan in a Business Suit" for a reason.

Ferraris in general have had some of the raunchiest and angriest sounding engines ever. A 355 with Capristo exhaust honestly sounds like an F1 car (from back when F1 cars sounded good.) A 458 downshifting is evil. The Enzo...you could write books on that one.

Well that's good to hear. I was expecting bad news. I havnt driven an actuall car in so long. My skills for that type of stuff are surely gone

It think my last car was a BMW 318i. Forget the year... 99 maybe. Very fun car, kind of go cartish.

Car was great until the first night below freezing. I was making an hour long trip and got the over heating light. I figure the coolant was bad and it froze. My fault I guess

Had the motor rebuilt but it only lasted another 3 months. I just gave up n sold it to a guy at a bar for $2k

Saw a Ferrari GTC4Lusso today, otherwise known as the only naturally-aspirated Ferrari you can both sell your wife on (AWD, automatic, plenty of room for 2 car seats) and have fun with (680 hp NA V12 with an approximately 8000 rpm readline, dual-clutch transmission that shifts lightning fast, only AWD until 5th gear and even then it's so RWD-biased). Used versions start at the low low price of over $200,000 US, of course, so it's within range for literally everyone! The shooting brake from heaven.

So naturally I follow the guy to the gas station and have a 15 minute conversation about cars. Super cool guy.

If you think I'm creepy I don't care. It's a Ferrari and I have no regrets.

So I'm taking a girl a date soon. Day not yet picked. She's 5' tall. I told her I'm gonna take a video of her trying to climb into the truck. Then I thought, what if I take off the running board and holy shit bar

I also liked the orange. You mean on the gauges right? Think my 86' Fire chicken had the orange too
