    The worst car

    The worst car? I’ll tell you what the worst car is. It’s the imaginary car my lovely wife hasn’t decided on now for 2 years. Yes 2 years. Back and forth, nashing of teeth, zero decisions, zero test drives, zero plan. But lots of talk and many conflicting opinions.

    The worst car is the decision that can’t seem to be made, and it hangs over you like a fucking anvil.

    And now the sneak peaks of the 2022s are coming out so maybe those would be better choices. Now I’m looking at year 3.

    This is awesome. You all should try it.

    Unless there's a real mechanical/safety issue at hand with the current vehicle, this seems like an anti-problem?

    Or maybe there is no current vehicle?

    A bicycle will keep her trim and fit.

    That, but do a gift package - not just a bicycle, but perhaps consider including a vacuum cleaner, a few bars of soap, and some deodorant.

    Put it all in the driveway with a giant red bow wrapper, like those Lexus "December to Remember" commercials.

    I actually saw a neighbor give his wife a Lexus with a giant bow on top one Christmas growing up.

    From my vantage point it looked to go over much better than a bike.

    The worst car

    That’s for all the help and kind words. A few follow up points:

    Our kid needs a car now. Fucker. In college, summer job blah blah blah. Lovely wife’s current car is 12 years old, plan is to move that one over to him. Still works well. A bit beat up but mechanically sound hopefully. Good college adventure car. When this plan was hatched 2 years ago there was plenty of time. We are now down to two weeks before the car goes to him.

    Lovely wife is a strong cyclist and is currently quite fit and trim. Has received many bicycles for gifts. When she got her custom MTB frame she slept with it in the bedroom till it was built up. So TR this could be a viable alternative.

    However, the cleaning products may not go over so well based on past experience. If I go that route I would ask those of you that have my cell phone number to do a safety check in every few hours and alert the authorities if I don’t respond. Or just alert them immediately. I’m fairly certain of the outcome.

    Same outcome if I propose a minivan. Even with a hellcat motor.

    Ted, testing your theory. Does the conversation typically revolve around how not much is needed and really anything would work, followed by an extremely detailed and self conflicting list of requirements? If yes, please say hi for me.

    She needs some incentive. figure out a car that she really doesn’t like, and then set a deadline that you’re going to buy it by. It’s the default scary car following behind her just like top gear. If she doesn’t make up her mind by the deadline, that’s the car she gets.



    got to be firm in matters like this.

    I'd prefer an RS7, even if it takes a uhaul trailer to make it work. Do those do well off-road?

    The more I think about this the more merit it seems to have...

    While we wait for Aldo to turn the page (fingers crossed its the chapter about anything Daimler-Chrysler) this came across my instagram feed. Yup, some dolt here in town is dragging a hovercraft behind his Rolls.

    Yo Bobby! Tell me this guy is a client.

    You think the owner is a Cleveland Brown's fan?

    I'm taking the over on the number of times that contraption gets stopped by the police on the trip.

    The thought crossed my mind that he and OBJ might have the same wrap guy.

    I think the truer answer lies within an algorithm somewhere, but in reality, there's a local post aggregator that I follow, ATLscoop, that people post shit to that mostly is shit happening around town to give people heads up: accidents blocking the highway, kidnapped pets, stolen cars (and then people posting where they saw/found em), y'allywood filming shit, it's actually an addictive feed.

    Someone had taken a pic of this guy's contraption on the highway and within minutes the guy's instapage was found. I look forward to the day when someone posts a pic of some TRG GORPLIFE truck on there with a WTF is this thing? caption.

    I thought that looked rad. And then I found out that this craziness exists somewhere out there:

    That doesn't count unless there's a car seat in the back too.
