It’s one thing to make a goth roll up to Goodwood in a silly van with a herd of silly people in the back. True next-level shenanigans would be to make him show up to goth night in it. (Please note, Ssangyong will need safe overnight parking as the likelihood of being able to drive after leaving a goth night is slim to none.)

Maybe it won’t be as bad, if you think about driving the 쌍용 로디우스.

I don’t know if the Korean alphabet will show up in the comments.

Honestly the Rodius isn’t that bad, I’d take it over current Hyundai and Kia designs any day of the week.

The worst part is the name – “Rodius” sounds like a teenager synonym for perineum.

It sounds like a medicinal cream to be applied to the private parts three times a day.

Wishing someone they drive off with the key fob on top of the car is next-level vicious. Almost as bad as e.g. putting a stylish designer in a Ssangyong automobile.

In my defence when I wrote that I didn’t quite know how traumatic the whole ordeal was for Miss Mercedes. I thought it was just standard Autopian ass-hattery.

Now I do know I stand by the original sentiment.

Something I found out as a new member is that not only is their access to this TFTS but the entire archive going back to the start.

Ugh, what’s it like to find out you live atop a vein of solid gold? TFTS is so good, and the member party room in discord is no slouch either

Adrian is looking at this all wrong. What could be more Goth than a car that actively destroys the souls of all who lay eyes upon it?

If something is worth doing it’s worth doing stylishly. Or not at all.

Can Adrian be forced to dye his Mohawk hot pink and listen to Hansen’s Mmm-bop on repeat while he’s in the Odius?

I mean the Rodius?

I think what he has to wear might be a good subject. Maybe a Sheldon or Pee-wee Herman outfit instead of black

See, putting a goth in a Ssangyong is terrible, but funny. Forcing a goth to wear non-goth clothing is extremely uncomfortable for our kind and could be considered torture under the Geneva Convention

Has it got a cassette player? Because I have a cassette single of this,

Gentlemen do not get drunk, mildly top heavy or a teensy bit spifflicated or thoroughly peloothered, even pot valiant, but never drunk. Occasionally one might become over refreshed.

Think of it this way: It’s an official Autopian car, which means it shall be destroyed. The speed and fury and violent conditions in which it dies is in your capable and willing hands.

If we’ve gone past the threshold needed, then feel like could spring for a roll of Avery Dennison, possibly in whatever tartan the Duke’s house sports. Of course it would help Adrian to bond with the car if he had to apply it personally(and not go too over budget)

If Adrian does find love in a Rodius, I hope someone writes the appropriate parody of Love in an Elevator.

Those aren’t vibrating seats. It’s a horribly out of balance inline five diesel motor you can feel.

If a Rodius in black is found, it would be an opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade so to speak.

Pimp it out into a gothic hearse and make it look gaudy and chromed out. Adorn it with opera lamps, red velvet interior, and a sound system to play some goth rock to compliment the miserable experience of driving it so as to allow the operator to stew in their misery and enjoy it.

It’s a violation of something. My dignity, probably.

Oh man – this place fills me with so much joy. What a great way to close down a Friday afternoon! Now, off to the liquor cabinet to pour myself a tall whisky on the rocks.

Other way around, she was enjoying her well-earned rest, sitting on a tire, when Jason sidled up to her.
