One week update: after 1000km, I still do not like the HB20s but the 18km/L is offsetting the uncomfortable driving position

It'll never stop being funny that a bunch of cyrpto libertarians started a SM platform as a POC for atproto to which it was immediately coopted by left wing trans furry sex workers who now make their lives miserable because they used mod tools to put the admin's friends on a digital leper colony

GM killed the wrong division

Brasil: “Saímos da mapa de fome uhuu!” EUA: “Tem lugar na mapa pra nós? 🥺” Tenho vergonha do meu país

Preparing for the day

a lifetime of anti bullying campaigns have left our current college students unequipped to kick this guy's ass immediately. beating up the nazi dude used to be a right of passage

My rental for the next 18 days in RJ: Hyundai HB20s... First impression, between Galeão and Vargem Pequena: Seats are too hard, shifter feels a little vague and I have yet to find a comfortable driving position. Hopefully this changes

It’s Thursday and I’m thinking about the SsangYong Rexton

If we're talking cars that aren't mine... Someone in my neighborhood has a delightful green W116 with green cloth interior and a manual.

what’s the last car you stopped to take a photo of?

Reason 42069 why I'm glad to be moving to Brazil soon: I miss being able to get good coffee without taking an international trip to bring back good beans.

I’m thinking about the best rental car I’ve ever had, from back in December, even beating the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger and Volvo S60 rentals I had in the past. I’d actually own one.

This is literally the same thing the US is unhappy with Argentina about, for letting the Chinese do...

Midwestern culture is crying whenever you hear "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

Fiat reusing stampings and mounts for different models is a great thing.

Fun fact: The mirrors from the Tipo fit "good enough" on an Alfa 155, if the notoriously fragile 155 mirrors ever break... Like my driver's side mirror did when a neighbor tapped it, this week.

wtaf are you talking about

I think I've found the ideal daily for living in <undisclosed location> 13 km from the nearest paved road.

Post your music history here. I'm obviously a nerd.

Happy Caturday y'all

Today's automotive great idea: ITBs on a 5-cylinder Marea. You're welcome.

I'm entertained by the big counter just showing local time and the small one showing how long the government has actually been shut down. I don't know if it's a 24-style clock or just an extra hour of shutdown.

I've visited Nashville, TN four times for work events and I have been called slurs/crudely misgendered every single one of those. spiritual wasteland where the world's worst white people succeeded in destroying everything and everyone interesting about the city, but kept all the references to them

Sometimes I miss this thing. It was dumb, it was terrible, it once left me stranded in the desert when it was over 40º outside, but it was great. I want another one.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Dark Teal Metallic (technically green + blue but we're playing fast and loose here) on the Pontiac Sunfire was one of the greatest automotive colors of all time, full stop.

TIL calabresa brasileira is pretty much a perfect substitute for andouille in my red beans and rice recipe. Eu amo Brasil

If anyone is in Argentina, or willing to jump through the hoops to export an Alfa 155 from Argentina, I'm beginning the process of rehoming mine. '97 w some paint issues, 201000 kms. VTV through September 2026. Over $3k USD (4.3 million ARS) in maintenance since May, with receipts. $6500 OBO

"Trump said he was "directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland". For those of us outside the US, every time we read a piece of news, the vocabulary and context make it sound more and more like an excerpt from a dystopian scifi novel.

If you see this, post a concert picture you took.

TIL my wife had never heard of Lockheed Martin. I yearn for that level of innocence.

I'm starting to narrow down the list for our next car, and it's getting more sensible... 1. Suzuki SX4 2. Fiat Palio Adventure Locker 3. Fiat Idea Adventure Locker 4. Fiat Uno (either generation) 5. Honda Fit Twist Special Mentions: Lada Niva Renault Sandero Stepway Peugeot 206 Escapade

Does anyone in Weird Car Bluesky have any experiences with the second gen Honda Fit? I'm lowkey considering one, despite not having AWD. I know folks with first and third-gens, but not the second.

Who needs the Peace Corps?

The Kingdom of Florin will be holding an hour-long tribute to the late Count Rugen in the timeslot originally taken up by Inigo Montoya

I would, unironically, drive this just about anywhere. Hand crank for when it's -40 and your battery is frozen, strong heater, thick steel.

i’m a believer in ineffective altruism. i think that everyone in america should be issued a vga to s-video cable adapter and a bale of hay

My mind, while browsing Brazilian car listings semi-seriously: Fiat, Fiat, Fiat, OOOH LADA 2105*!!!!, Fiat, Fiat, SUZUKI SX4**!!!!!, Fiat, Fiat... *which is an arguably tougher, license-built clone of a Fiat 124 **which was also sold in the EU as the Fiat Sedici

Me car shopping: This was a car sold new in the Year of Our Lord 2013! I'd drive the heck out of it. rj.olx.com.br/rio-de-janei...

I do not know another way to express to people that trying to appease fascists by “being a good minority” or totally deferring to them publicly has saved absolutely no marginalized group or profession in human history. They are coming after us anyway. Even if you scold peers for not being nice.

PL deu 83 votos para aprovar a PEC da Bandidagem. União Brasil, PP e Republicanos de Hugo Motta também votaram em massa para blindar político de investigação da justiça. Veja como votaram os partidos, PT deu 12 votos. Foram 353 votos a favor , 134 votos contrários e uma abstenção.

all levels of media in the united states is controlled by the far right tech oligarch now

I'm the exact wrong sort of person to own a car with a plaça preta (collector registration), especially since I'm looking at a house that has "distância do asfalto" but I want to lift a 155 and put rally lights on it. sp.olx.com.br/baixada-sant...
