So I guess what I really learned is I am giving up hope on people as this car get’s cheaper and the owners action stranger.

My favorite part of both of those threads as neither mentions the whole story preceding the issue. It's just like being at work

"why yes i hit it with a very large hammer, why do you ask? i really don't see how that's relevant."

Today I learned that British pasty blokes (or sun burnt, having had very unusually sunny days) expressing their inner creativity through comic masks.. Masks with cartoon mouths.. all I see is this.. God knows what little kids see..

TIL my family doctor charges $90 for a 15 minute virtual appointment. The insurance rate is about half of that.

Edit: Today I also learned that it is way more difficult to eat hot ramen when you can't put your contacts in and have glasses on. They fog up with every bite.

TIL that some people buy aftermarket wheels in the exact same size as the stock wheels, and then put tires that are too wide on them. As opposed to buying wheels that are wide enough for the tires that they want to install.

Guilty as charged. My wheels are ever so slightly wider than my tires, in my defense I did check on willitfit and it looked fine. But once these tires are gone I'll get the proper fitment.

The person that sparked me posting this was someone who replaced stock 19x8 wheels with aftermarket wheels of the same size and then put 255/35 tires on them. Hopefully not that far.

That is not nearly as bad as the guys with 17x9's shoving 225's on them

I miss THAT David Letterman, too. The later cruel, mean, and un-funny version he morphed into... not so much. Paul Schaeffer... never got him at all, as a musician or as an entertainer. I did like their 'Is ..this.... ANNYTTHIINGGGG???!?!???" bit a lot, too...

Johnny Carson and Doc Severinsen ... two of the best in their respective professions the world has ever seen.. LOVE these guys...
