New England B.S. Thread

I picked my wife up at Logan at 5 yesterday. They had one of the tunnels down to 1 lane. Fun times during Friday afternoon rush hour

 

It's very unreliable. Sarah's mom wanted it because she "wanted to buy something built in America by an American." She chose the wrong vehicle. There are a few cool features, like when you put it in reverse, the side mirrors aim down so you can see better.

The seat automatically slides back when you shut the piece of shit off. What it doesn't do is go back to how you had it like my Jag used to. That's ridiculous! Keep the seat in the same place or make it go back to where you had it last time you drove it!

This thing sucks, all around. I drive with my elbow on the windowsill. Can't in this car because it's hard plastic. My 4Runner has foam padding to make the door panels comfy. It's the little things. The dash is MASSIVE, and way overcomplicated. Too many buttons, and shit doesn't make sense. It has an analog speedometer and a digital readout 2" away in case you're too retarded to line up a needle with a number on a dial.... Fuck this shit!

I went past the World Trade Center and took the second tunnel into Logan. Fairly painless!

 

What kills me is that all of the newer cars interiors look the same for the most part regardless of model. I used to work at a huge car rental company and it was particularly noticeable with the Fords and Chevys. The interior of the Cobalt looked the same as the Impala, and smaller SUVs.

 

Easy way to cut costs by having only one team of interior designers and one team of interior engineers to make the design fit.

 

Yea I get why they did it, but it is just frustrating that they cant bother to spend money on creativity or variety. I wouldnt buy one imho

 

It is/was a wooden log fence. Not my problem though since I live in an apartment. Guy missed a parked car by inches.

 

So? Was it the charlie horse? Where were you?

 

Maybe he forgot?

 

My girlfriend has a new focus. I hate the setup on the inside. Its similar to a 747 with all the buttons. Has 5 seperate controls on the steering wheel. 4 different headlight settings. And pretty much a full key board on the radio. It is absurd it drives me insane.

 

Yup it was. I was doing some recon

 

Icy as hell on my hill this morning, too. Earlier we watched a guy in an AWD Chevy work van pirouette down the hill past the front yard. He did three complete revolutions between the top of the yard and the driveway, narrowly missed the mailbox, and ended up in the ditch beside the garage.
The town plow truck went up the road a little while later, spreading salted sand. He couldn't do it going forwards, so he had do it backwards.

 

How about some error codes?

 

Taking the taco to manhattan! Extreme mall crawling

 

That was all store in the wagon You have an ultra gauge, don't you check for code every now and then

 

You should bring a large regular soda, snacks, and cigarettes with you

 

And a copy of the Constitution.

 

Just finished the install of my skids. I installed before but had to pick up some different hardware and open some holes a little to complete. I also measured the center hub to wheelwell, the front is 23 1/2 and the rear is 24 1/2

 

Wow. My truck sits almost an inch lower.

 

Really? I thought I was low
