Minor Confession Thread

Reminds me of when I was looking at Forte's and PW said, get the EX, because the only good Kia is an ex-kia.

Confession #1. I've had two pretty bad encounters with wildlife in the last month. It didn't go well for the front bumper or fog light, but I glued it all back together with PL300. It looks great and I didn't lose my mind when I saw the damage.

Confession #2. I love driving a E36 M3 box for the above reason.

 

The Zen of driving a vehicle you wouldn't have a problem watching burn to the ground cannot be underestimated.

Up until 2018ish, the Soul and Veloster did share a chassis.  They diverged after.

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

Soul, Veloster, Forté, and I think Elantra we're all the same platform 

All I wanted was a Pepsi. Just one Pepsi.

The humans never kill anyone in The  Terminator or Terminator 2. Not one. Only the machines kill.

AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME!

this is a dispenser. It does hot, regular, and cold. 

My confession is- I've just realized...no one has ever said it HAD to have water in those jugs. The one to the left is empty.

I mean, technically?

In the Tech Noir, Kyle grabs the bartender and uses him as a meat shield when the Terminator starts shooting at him.

My dermatologist is from Switzerland. 
 

I'm tired of traveling for work, eating off my diet, fake smiling, staying in hotels, rental cars, shuttles and airports.

Maybe I feel this way cause I'm in Cleveland, Ohio this week........?

Cleveland will do things to a man.

Minor confession:  I don't know who Wink Dinkerson from KRUD Radio is.

In reply to Duke :

Oh man, Wink Dinkerson is a legend. 

From the Cheech and Chong comedy albums. 

*Taking 5yo to gymnastics yesterday. 

"Dad, look! A cybertruck! You see those sharp corners? That's how you know it's a Tesla, and I just love that color."

*30s later
 

"Oh, what kind of car is that right next to us?"

That's a Nissan maxima 

"oh I REALLY love that car."

I think I've failed as a parent. 

In reply to barefootcyborg5000 :

At least it wasn't a rogue. 

I should have gone to Disney today. Its hurricaning again.

I was behind a new Nissan Kicks yesterday and I couldn't figure out WTF it was until we reached a stop sign and I was able to get close enough to read the model name.

I may fall for the "live" hype and get up at 5 AM tomorrow to watch the Tropicana implode, instead of just watching videos of it on youtube or the news, like a normal person.

I realized today that the Ford Kuga is actually a phonetic spelling of a non-rhotic English speaker's mangling of "Cougar".  I had strong opinions.

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

And the first one looked an awful lot like the last Mercury Cougar that had been "pudgy-shrunken"..Look at them side by side and then realize the same face.

You're also familiar with the Ka, I assume...?

In reply to DarkMonohue :

Yes, and the Puma, which was to the Ka as the Cougar was to the Mondeo/Contour, wasn't it?

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

Yes, exactly! The Pyoomer.  Minor confession: when you said Kuga, I was picturing the Puma. SUVs of Many Nations are not my strength.
