Meh, I just don't fit in a Ford. I mean I hate mustangs, and all the Fords I've ever driven haven't felt right for whatever reason so it's no big loss for me.

It’s hardly a great car, but I like my little 2013 Ford Focus so it’s a bit sad for me. That’s probably first car filters though.

Parachute posted:it's insane how much less advertising ford puts out compared to chevy but i guess when you created the F150 it doesn't really matter; everyone just buys your truck I swear I see Ford truck ads all the time, though it may just be that Denis Leary is that loving annoying.

I almost cried when I gave up my lovely '98 Chevy Lumina due to first car filters, and I loving hate Chevys these days. The only good thing I will ever say about a Chevy is that they hold their ground in snow, and I never, ever spun that fucker out.

Global economy makes cars a mishmash. The Honda Civic Type-R is only assembled in Great Britan and it uses engines assembled in Ohio. The Ford Focus RS was made in Germany. Most Subarus are made in Indiana.

Get used to it. It is driven by rollover protection and now that you have all these sensors, it doesn't matter if the C pillar is the size of a whole person. I can't see for poo poo out of any car in my whole extended family.

I was in the back of a two-door rental car where there was no way you could smash the windows and I don’t even want to know how long it would take to cut that pillar. E:i mean, also the idea of having less doors than rows of seats is just goddamn insane to me. gently caress two-doors.

Don't think I've seen that one, but I've definitely seen the Surface one of the blogger who 'didn't have anyone who looked like me growing up' has quickly risen up in the list of things I don't need to see anymore. It runs so often it's unbearable.

I have a very low tolerance for ultra-lo-fi music with weird impish voices singing badly, and that song basically hits all the wrong targets. I also strongly dislike the "ONE-TWO ONE-TWO!" soccer ad for Sprint and Apple, because that's a dumb song. I also also find the Microsoft ad with the lady gushing about her fashion blog and OMG COLORS TEEHEE annoying. e: this one, yeah: EL BROMANCE posted:Don't think I've seen that one, but I've definitely seen the Surface one of the blogger who 'didn't have anyone who looked like me growing up' has quickly risen up in the list of things I don't need to see anymore.
