    "They" (all look the same) is unclear in this context.

    There are three orange people and one yellow person here. Your mileage may vary, but this could just as easily be a cartoon on ethnic tolerance or something. #cardesign

    @Amalgamated Stainless Headers, est.1978: i watched the first two on there, and actually that IS what they're referring to, not Toyota's bland vehicle design. I don't know what they're trying to achieve with this cartoon series thing, but I feel disturbed on a very deep, bordering on subconscious, level. #cardesign

    @Amalgamated Stainless Headers, est.1978: Maybe the yellow guy is a member of Mara Salvatrucha (note the tear-shaped prison tattoo) and is trying to conduct a hit on one of these three guys, but he wants to be sure he gets the job done right.

    He probably just kills all of them to be on the safe side. #cardesign

    Whats up fellas im in the process of gettin ma brefass. I had the early morn' toste but it was hooked up by the cat, it was wrapped in strawberry jam it was krazy but it had one part of th' crust fallin' off... it got soggy in the juice on the table.. my moms wiped up the juice but left some water-like on the table so's when i put my toste back down it got wet again.. it was too good but i kept gettin' the wet part in my mouth but my moms said she had cleaned up the juice but the water she wouldn't... so then my brother was with me at the time and then my dad was also interested in my toste, wanting it on the same day... lucky I called my mom from upstairs to schedule it so it worked out ok...

    Jeezus... It's giving me a headache just to keep this up. How on earth did this moran write his post, from his phone, likely while driving, without a)his head exploding or b)killing several pedestrians? #bmw

    I can't really blame him. I've driven the E90 M3, and it is the most fantastic car I have ever driven. Of course, the cars I've driven so far are my 2000 Civic, my dad's '88 Civic, his '97 Accord, my mom's '97 SL2, my sister's '06 Spectra, my stepfather's '09 MKS, his '00 Silverado 5.3L Z71, my grandfather's '02 Regal, a driver's ed Taurus, a '91 Miata, an AP2 S2000, an '09 Civic Si, an '08 Honda Fit, and the current M5 and M6. Seriously, drive one, and you'll know why Car and Driver fawns over it. #bmw

    I believe it. I've seen this kind of thing in real estate...a guy posted that he was going to default on his home loan in the hopes that he could get a better deal. And at CarMax, we'd every so often see folks come in who were massively upside down on their current car and be trying to get financed on something new to replace it. I was always impressed that CarMax was willing to tell people like that "no" rather than take advantage of them. #bmw

    I live in Texas, so it's not the same guy, but just last night I was getting some fast food and the guy in the windows was chatting me up about my car and was talking about his e46 M3.

    It made me question my whole career choice - here I went to college and stuff, and the 20-something guy handing me fried chicken through a car window is rolling in an M3.

    I'm sure that fast food guy will NEVER see the title for his car, so I feel a little better. #bmw

    @jodark: I didn't see an M3 in the lot, but I didn't really look for one either. I certainly don't discount the possibility that it was complete and utter bullshit.

    However, I have also seen ruined (giant rims, etc) M3s in other places similar to where Our Hero might be found, so one never knows. #bmw

    A guy I used to work with leased a Mustang in 2000. Already a bad idea. To make matters worse he rolled over his debt from his previous lease into it. So before he started he had an extra $150 a month to pay on top of the already stupid high payment (his negotiation skills were basically, do you have it yellow? how much?)

    He came out of the ether in 2002 when he realized he was way over miles again and basically out of cash.

    So he goes into a car dealer to find a cheap car to spin off the debt, only to find he's now $10,000 upside down. (I've seen worse believe it on not, and got a bank to approve it, and we wonder what they meant by toxic loans)

    Since NJ requires loans to carry gap coverage, he gets it in his head he is going to destroy the car.

    So he gets a hotel room in NYC at super shady location. Parks the car out front on the street, leaves the car running and the driver's side window down.

    They only took his radio. It ran out of fuel and got ticketed for violating some idling ordinance.

    So now he has to find a gas station and a fuel container in a shady-ass part of town. And with the ticket is worried any insurance investigator worth his weight would figure out what was going on whenever he finally did get around to wrecking the thing.

    So thoroughly peaved he drives home to the Garden State. Once he gets back to the windy back roads of the state a deer jumps in front of him, he clips it and in his attempts to dodge the deer and being hard on the brakes, he goes off the road and hits a tree. The whole passenger side is screwed up, the hood is pushed and every airbag deployed. Totaled.

    The deer, having been only clipped, gets up and starts to run away.

    It took him a long time to prove that it really was an accident. But there was a clump of fur in the crack between the headlight and the hood.

    Needless to say, that bit of fur saved his ass from a heck of a lot of debt, and probably jail time.

    Probably the first time in history a man was happy he had hit a deer. #bmw
