Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

A Fiat owner said, in a bad Italian accent, “It’s a great car, despite Fixin’ It Alla Time… Tony, he gave up and went home.”

Easy to miss with all the car junk filler. Surely there’s a better thread for that…

The one Ford I owned rusted through the rear wheel well. It was a huge hole; probably 8x8. It was less than 10 years old. That was not the only rust on it either.

Can Pit threads be hijacked? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ehh, and I had one Ford that went for 200K miles before I sold it, the head had never been off, and as far as I know it’s still running. No rust to speak of, because it’s Texas.

The acronyms are fun until people start believing them. And even great car makers sometimes put out a lump of garbage. So you’re paying your nickel and taking your chances.

Tesla has about average reliability ratings. The American headquartered mfrs all seem to bounce around in the same middling range of reliability Tesla is at. I honestly don’t know how Toyota ranks so high year after year. I’ve had a Toyobaru for several years now, it’s the first one I’ve owned. No problems, it’s been very much like the Escort GT that went at least 200K miles.

My Toyota Scion xB is a 2006, the last year of that model before they revised it for the American market, and it still runs just fine with over 111,000 miles on it. Excellent gas mileage, not great in snow but I don’t drive in that any more if I can help it. Hasn’t needed much work over the years except the usual routine maintenance.

I live in Michigan. All cars should be coated with tar or hermatically sealed or something.

Yeah, but I’ve yet to see one that is.

I can’t think of an ad that better describes the current state of Xitter than this.

I would totally buy that. lol

Only $10 plus shipping. You know where to find it!

Let me amend: I would totally buy that in the Walmart/Dollar General clearance aisle if I ran across it.

That’s the one I came to share.

Our most recent dog had a condition that caused anal prolapse. I couldn’t buy that!

I’d love one, but then I’d spend years trying to find brown toothpaste…

Would you settle for charcoal toothpaste?

There are also a number of red toothpaste options out there for different values of disturbing!

Funny enough, the Cybertruck almost looks like something OCP would sell - sleek, shiny, expensive, and monstrously unsafe.

My grandson would really enjoy that.

Dear Mr. Elmo:
Could you please Xit out another diatribe, so we can have something to discuss in this thread?

Sincerely,
The Dog Poop Toothbrush Gang

Are you saying Elmo is more serious/interesting than dog poop tooth paste? If so I beg to differ.
