Some more NigelJDM annoyance. Their listing shows LED bulbs in a couple of pictures:

Yet, there are no bulbs in the box. WTF? Why not say in the listing that there are no bulbs included? Now I have to order amber LEDs and wait even more to install these.

He thought he was clear because his mirror made it but... scratched the driver's side passenger door up pretty bad.

At least this time it was HIS car, but yeesh - we just made the first payment on it.

Meh, that's nuthin'! My mom crashed my first new car on the way home from the dealer. She made me go to class instead of letting me wait for the paperwork to finish. I got home, and no car. WTF? Walk inside. My mom looks pale. Uh oh...

Poor mom

Okay - that even beats when he dragged my car over a median.

He doesn't really get to drive my FR-S much after that. I had just gotten it out of the shop from being rear-ended too (it was in the shop a couple of weeks) - a week and a half after I was reunited with my beloved Phoenix (after being forced to drive a Kia Sportage rental), he fails to notice part of a median sticking out when trying to flip a u-turn.

Best part: I was in the car when he did it.

And somehow, he's still alive.

I suggest you buy him a Camry.

Heh, I didn't buy him anything - we make about the same salary-wise, so he now has his own little "tech sports car". But at least this way, it's not MY car he's driving!

Money makes relationships weirder.

I find it bizarre and irritating that the 2016 Subaru Legacy is only available with CVT.

The Camryfication of the legacy

Clipdat · 06-09-2016, 04:40 PM

I saw one in my parking lot and I was like "wow, that would look dope lowered with some nice wheels, wonder how much they run.." and go to look it up and see it's CVT only. So lame.

Camry, with the exception of the hybrids, are 6-speed automatics.
