Quoth wagegoth View PostWhen King of the Hill first debuted, a coworker and I were joking about how we both could understand Boomhauer and what did that say about us and our relatives.

Quoth Argabarga View PostTo give you all the nessecarry background, this car got yanked from a marked "15 minute zone" with a cold engine, and the following didn't take place until at least another 30 minutes went by......Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Don't forget a couple other inexpensive (especially if bought used) fuel efficient cars:
Hyundai Excel (up to '94 model year)
Hyundai Accent ('95 and up)
Hyundai ElantraAny fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

I'd have kept my Elantra, had it not rusted out.
Yeah, it had no acceleration, no top speed, no frills, and they didn't see a problem with equipping a 00' model year car with a TAPE DECK standard........ but still, easy on gas, easy to park, reliable 99% of the time
Lousy road salt......... and it persistently ate wheel bearings, but working where I did, it was an easy fix.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

For years, my mom kept buying Toyota Corollas. Reliable and efficient. Can't say a bad thing about them. Hell, I put the first scratch in the first one with an idiot's head when I was 15, and got that same Corolla airborne when I was 19. (Mom doesn't know about the second incident, and never, ever will.)

My first car was a Toyota Corona hatchback, used to belong to my Grandfather before he upgraded and gave it to me, lasted a good 6 or 7 years on top of however long he had it, before it finally gave up the ghost.Violets are blue,

My first car was a 1959 Nash Metropolitan in the turquoise and cream. I bought it for $250 and sold it for $500 Then I bought a 1968 MGB mk 2 roadster, and in 1979 I bought a 1975 Mustang 2 ghia with the 302 V8 which I got bored one winter in my machine shop and hauled it in, pulled the engine and followed the rebuild directions in a Chiltons and sent the body out for painting. I don't know jack shit about engines, but as a machinist I can follow cookbook directions I also had a TVR 2500M Vixen I bought of an exBF, and then I took up with an abusive jackass and moved down to Virginia beach and ended up in pink ghetto jobs [girly crap that is effectively lowpaying.] The only unusual car I had in Virginia was oddly enough one of the first Yugos in the country. I liked it, but I also Abarthed it [it was effectively a Yugoslavian built Fiat, and all the Abarth goodies more or less bolted right on. Zippy and fun little car when treated like imported Euro-metal instead of a workhorse crappy US econobox.] Then I got my 1979 IH Scout 2, which I adored and was my workhorse of a vehicle until it died in an accident about 10 years ago. In 10 years we put something like 350 000 miles on it. Then we moved into VWs, and we had a bit of a collection - a 58 beetle, a 64 squareback, a 72 nonSuperBeetle and a 74 van, and a 96 JEtta that Rob rolled so we got a 97 Jetta, and then a 2006 Jetta in diesel and we just added a momvan about a year and a half ago. We sold the elder VW collection - lack of money for insurance.EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

I think at least part of the problem was extremely poor-quality replacement bearings after it ate the first set through what was fairly normal wear and tear.
First the left, then a month later, the right, bad enough the garage suggested I box them up and send them back as defectives, but at that point, I knew the car was nearing the end of life anyway, so I never bothered.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

Quoth eltf177 View PostFor those who don't know, Boomhauer was a character on the animated KING OF THE HILL. He was famous for mumbling _everything_ and you couldn't understand a single word he said the entire series!
I think I understood one or two words...but that was because my TV has captions!
