Mercedes is a treasure, protect Mercedes at all costs.

“I may have sent a $100,000 vehicle that I don’t own “”a little too hard”” and it is now incapable of doing it’s primary function… LOL”

It drove just fine! The steering wheel was just off-center. I made sure to tell Ford before giving it back, because I don’t like giving automaker people nasty surprises. Ford’s people shrugged and said “ah, yeah you probably hit a rock or something, no problem” and said they’ll do an alignment before giving it to the next person. I do wonder what the fix will be for MT’s loaner, as I suspect a big pinstripe will be a little harder to fix.

Every once in a while, I see a screenshot of somebody who has done that with their phone font and it throws me emotionally off balance for a few hours.

I’m still recovering from seeing that font choice. Keep it crazy Mercedes!

I am resisting the huge urge to say “lol.”

The font isn’t Comic Sans, but I cannot tell you what the font is. I imported my phone from China, and the entire font menu is in Chinese! The phone also makes me download and try two completely random Chinese apps to download a new font. I have thus far played a deeply confusing mobile game where I’m a police officer in Beijing (?) and something happens with gems, I think?

I bought the phone entirely for its camera, which is really good. I have no doubt my data is probably ending up somewhere, so I hope that whatever spy is looking at me enjoys seeing endless searches for Smart Fortwos and broken cars on Facebook.

I, for one, adore Mercedes (the person).

She helps the site maintain an entirely appropriate level of bonkers… above and beyond Torch’s own oddball proclivities.

I am VERY familiar with the Mercedes LOL. That woman is crazy, in the best way possible.

I did think the bit in the raptor article about encouraging people to jump their trucks or whatever was really funny considering she was driving a loaner and a ton of the people there brought their own trucks lol

I suppose the warehouse is 40 ft long, and you are playing tetris?

It is exactly 37 feet, 3 inches long. Technically, I am paying for 40 feet, but someone definitely rounded up.

I’m just commenting in case I have a chance of surpassing Mercedes in the comment section count.

Lol.

I feel the need to clarify that my Slack profile picture is an illustration of an airplane passenger blowing up a life vest. Though, it looks like she’s eating a Slim Jim, and I can’t stop laughing at that.

Also, finding the mold in my storage unit changed the math. The MGF went to my parents’ place because I know their garage doesn’t have any of that nonsense.

I thought that looked familiar. Too much time on airplanes this year. LOL

Have the mold remediation efforts succeeded?

Yes! I’m just giving it some time to see if my efforts will work long-term.

I actually thought it looked like someone toking a vape, initially. But The Bishop set me straight.

I don’t know an airline passenger blowing up a life vest or eating a slim jim can look like something else in the right frame of mind

If you go fast enough, what’s behind you no longer matters, right?

Mercedes is a treasure. Though I feel she is merely mid-pack of the inmates running this particular asylum.

When you have Torch as a co-founder, it’s hard to exceed that level.

I feel like Torch is pretty much the sanest of them.

That distinction probably goes to Matt. He owns a sensible number of cars, hasn’t tried to save a $111k press loaner with floor mats and a U-Haul (lol), and doesn’t give in to the intrusive thoughts that say “buy that car” or “do a burnout.”

Sorry a moped or scooter isn’t ever going to ever go fast enough
