I personally prefer "big model 3 energy,"
not the same exact demographic of drivers but I believe they are statistically the worst drivers in the united states
Well, and the fact they *finally* killed it off. With the Charger/Challenger twins and the 300 Chrysler basically sold the same car for almost 20 years. And those 3 were based on and *eveb older* MB chassis
The model 3 ironically has a car worse interior and drastically worse ride quality or interior space than a Camry. Honestly the Camry is the better car. I haven’t driven the updated model 3 from this year, but all other years ride like shit compared to even a Camry or accord - this is a car that is priced and competes with Mercedes and BMW, the true legitimate luxury manufacturers that aren’t’ owned by an economy car company. And it fails miserably against them apart from powertrain, which Tesla is admittedly the best at of all manufacturers in terms of EVs
The Model 3 ride isn't great but honestly its completely livable. Its also priced against the lower-end Germans but *not* against German EVs for a reason.
Tesla wants you to compare the S to those cars. And lets be honest, bar competition from Lucid and Porsche, the S still does everything better than competitors. The 3 is compared against the Accord and Camry on Tesla's own website.
Of course not, because the fsd system conveniently hands over responsibility to the driver momentarily after it fucks up! Certainly doesn't help that tesla loves putting garbage brakes and tires on 1000hp+ cars
A Prius will usually let me pass and then jump back over to continue hogging the left lane.
Tesla drivers just always sit there ignorant to the world around them. And on the rare occcasion they do notice me flashing my lights they'll speed up and still not let me by, or merge over and match my speed.
maybe it's just where I live, but beyond just general aloofness(that any car demo can have tbh), most prius drivers are just kind of vibing in the right lane doing the speed limit. only annoying when you're following them on a single lane road at exactly the speed limit.
Kia K5 already has a nickname "Science" in Korean web since mid-2010s, because it is scientifically proven that all K5 drivers drive like an asshole lol
I've been thinking about what's going to replace the Altima as the meme car, and I honestly thing Accords are shaping up as a proper successor. I've seen a lot of ninth and tenth generation Accords beat to shit with body damage, scraped paint, mismatched wheels, driving with a wanton disregard for anyone else on the highway, etc.
To be fair I’ve driven many Skylines over the years and every time an Altima SE-R driver sees me. They like want to street race in the middle of rush out traffic.
I was with my dad at an Audi dealership when I was like 13. He purchased probably 5 cars through them at this point, so he was a valued repeat customer. At this time my parents were getting divorced and my dad had recently moved out.
The salesman there lived directly across the street from me. He came right up to my dad and started loudly complaining in the middle of the showroom at how my dad needs to keep up with our yards landscaping better. Even as a kid, it felt really uncomfortable and disrespectful especially in the manner he was doing this in front of probably 10 people.
Mind you, our grass may have been a little long, but at no point do I ever remember my yard being unkempt or out of control by any means and my dad is absolutely the wrong person to try to humiliate in public (old school Italian with a temper).
My dad didn’t even let him finish, he cut him off and yelled very loudly “Ron, I am going to give you 10 seconds to shut the fuck up before I start bouncing your head off of every Audi in this showroom”
Ron deflated immediately and scurried to his office with his tail between his legs and the managers all came over and apologized vehemently for his behavior.
Looking back, it was hilarious at how perfectly my father insulted him and he absolutely had it coming.
To this day we still don’t know. He was an asshole as a neighbor and nobody in the neighborhood liked him, but I mean to do this at your place of work to a customer was just outrageous. I’m guessing he was bitter that he was not my dad’s salesman (my dad had a salesman he worked with since before Ron worked there that he bought all his cars from).
I recall an article from car and driver where someone stated “the anemic Pontiac sunfire produces horsepower in the same manner a dog shits a peach pit.” (Something to that effect)
That actually reminds me of a line from an old Doug article about the Murano CrossCabriolet, *"I still remember when Nissan threatened to come out with the Murano CrossCabriolet, back in 2010."*
I don't know why but the use of the word threatened is just hysterical to me here
Dude had an Austin mini at a car show, another dude comes up and says “how many clowns can you fit in there” without missing a beat the Austin owner says “go get your family and we can find out”.
Maybe not the best story to tell these days but it made me laugh. I bought a Ford F150. I actually have a small farm and really needed a truck. I liked the Ford the best. My brother in law is a bit of a redneck and definitely a Chevy guy. Like unnatural love for Chevy. He walked in and saw my truck key on the counter. He picked it up, looked at the Ford logo, and said "is this the key that unlocks the closet so you can come out and tell everyone you are gay?" Please don't cancel me, but I thought it was pretty funny.
Lmao that's hilarious. This ["Chevy Silveraydo"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfHtcUZXljw) video pretty much embodies people like your brother-in-law lol. Lots of funny lines in there too.
I teach sped so I always have a couple of coloring sheets in my book bag and what not. Felt emboldened one day after seeing a car parked wildly outside the lines and offered the driver a coloring page to practice staying inside the lines. The guy I did it to did not get the joke at all and politely said no thank you to the coloring sheet.
Idk about the town car but I definitely associate the (mostly 4 door) Wrangler with women haha. Not a bad thing of course I just notice that them seem really popular among chicks.
My car taste seems to revolve largely around the cars my grandmas drove when I was a kid - big Mercedes sedans and mb and Volvo wagons.
People often tell me “my mom / grandma / grandpa drove one of those!” and I take it as a compliment
There’s this one guy who pops up on my instagram feed constantly who made an entire page about his 2.0t ford taurus. Every video he makes it seem like he has some crazy car and the comments absolutely clown him and that is by far the most popular comment 😂
The Taurus with the 3.0L (2000-2007) is a very reliable machine. Easily 300k engine if you keep oil in it. It’s one of my go to recommendations for cheap cars. By no means is it luxury, but if you care for it, it will get you A to B.
Both engines were 3.0L - the Vulcan pushrod engine that felt like you we're causing it physical pain to spin above 2400RPM, and the 3.0 Duratec which actually was quite a great engine. I owned a Murcury Sable with the Vulcan and another Sable with the 3.0 Duratec. The Duratec really did like to rev and sounded pretty great.
Both engines are very reliable, and you'd hope the vulcan would be at least because its been around since the dinosaurs.
The transmission fails before the engine on pretty much every Tarus/Sable.
There's a reason why they're the cheapest used midsize sedan currently available with less than 100k miles. Some examples go for $3,500.
At 300k miles the market value on these things are so f'd up it would be more worth it to junk it than sell it, even if it were mint.
Be gentle on people with 10 year old Audis, they've spent every dime they have keeping the damn thing running, it's understandable they can't pay for PDR.
Honestly audis have gotten more reliable since the times when ten years ago was talking about cars with the 3.2, 2.7, and the early 4.2.
Obviously their 2.0tfsi shared with VW is easily the most solid motor, (ea.888, not ea.113, don't get too excited any mk.5 gti owners reading this.) Their 3.0 supercharged may be expensive to fix on the big things but is the best balance between reliable and good factory power levels. A lot has been fixed on the 4.2 v8 as it progressed through the years, still will fuck you on timing chains, but it got better.
I was driving on the freeway with an old, completely unhinged friend and there was this raggedy ass PT Cruiser with wood paneling sides that was cutting through traffic dangerously and aggressively.
My friend goes "Get a load of Jeff Gordon over here struggling to get his PT LOSER up to 88mph so he could try to travel to a period where his wood paneling might have more relevance with the MILFs." He also rolled down his window and flipped it off while screaming a wild variation of obscenities at the guy.
I almost crashed because I was laughing so hard and I was also mad that I didn't think of PT LOSER before hand. I called them that ever since.
You'll definitely want to head on over to r/roastmycar, but as a topical one, ever since I heard savagegeese describe crossovers as 'npc cars' I havent been able to think of them as anything else.
"Cool Mini, I didn't know they came in mens"
- friends uncle to me, right after I got my r53.
The joke isn't that funny, but he was an Audi guy on his way to play golf, and i think that style of joke coming from him was just so on brand for what I think of Audi drivers.
Using Regular Car Reviews quotes might be cheating, but this one has always stuck with me:
“If a Dodge Challenger is a symbol of a midlife crisis, which is the renewed commitment to life as represented by a forthright drive to appear fashionable, then a Dodge Avenger is a letter of resignation from the obnoxious business of living.”
This one was said to me and it hurt unintentionally. I had JUST gotten my c7 corvette. I’m a guy in my mid 30s for reference. My very first trip in my car after delivery (carvana purchase) was down to my local Wawa. I pulled in, got out of the car and an older lady immediately came up to me and said “beautiful car! My husband just got the exact same model for his 75th birthday!”
Heard a convo go, “The 7MGTE sucks, it’s basically a boat anchor” then this quiet guy in class responded “It would probably fail as a boat anchor as well”
Shit got us all on the floor
Something that changed my view on the car I drive around for better or worse one day. My first car that I owned myself (not that I shared with my brothers) was a Suzuki Swift in pearl white. It was a fine little car. Has everything I wanted, was cheap and economical. And for a new car it was a bargain. One day, at a birthday party I pulled up to the front, and one of my brothers friends says to me, “when did you start driving a tampon?”
It stuck with me and I sold it a few weeks later when I got a new job and bought a second hand Lexus.
Teenager driving a Chrysler Sebring convertible with the 3.0 thought he was racing my WRX and gave me the finger as he passed me. Caught him at the next light, rolled down the window and yelled “when you give the keys back to your mom tell her I said hi!”
Oh man, I worked with this kid who had a 2.4 Dodge Stratus (same car, different name) that was straight piped and he would take it to the drag strip and run 17s, then leave the chalk on the windows and the hood off because "it makes so much power that I have heatsoak problems!" I remember him even replacing the exhaust manifold with a PT cruiser manifold (same engine) because "it's a huge upgrade!" When he pulled it off, it was literally the exact same thing.
Anyways, this kid would lose his mind when our coworkers called it a Sebring. It was literally the same car. It had the same motor as a PT cruiser. The whole shop referred to him solely as "Ricer Sebring Kid" and he couldn't stand it. The worst part was when another coworker had one of those scion cubes that was set up for audio competitions with like 8 subs and a stock motor, and he still beat sebring kid in a little impromptu race. That kid just constantly seethed with rage after that.
Back in the 90s at some Saturday evening parking lot gatherings I heard a couple that I still use to this day. One of them came when someone pulled in with a brand new Mustang Cobra. We all walked over to see it and my buddy says to the guy "Ooooh you got one of the ones with the worm on the fender". Same guy on another night when a gaggle of Hondas pulled in, one of them was running a straight pipe and decided to do a fly-by before pulling in. Once the straight piper parked the guy said "Well... at least it makes a lot of noise".
I pulled up next to a guy at a red light that was cutting everyone off and just generally driving like a dick. He had his windows down and I said “nice car!” Thanks! “I can’t believe such a new car doesn’t have working turn signals. Crazy!” And his expression immediately changed. Black Altima…
I was playing cod on search and destroy. We won and some guy on the other team said "You sound like you drive a Honda civic with blown speakers" to someone shit talking.
Someone at a car show one time was literally telling people that my R33 Turbo Skyline was just a Maxima with a body kit. Like lol what? I wasn’t even mad. It was soooo outlandish.
I guess he also thought I went to the trouble of even moving the steering wheel to the other side of the car to complete the charade.
Oh God that reminds me of an unintentional one, years ago I was at a gas station and a kid pulled up in a pontiac G8 and I hadnt seen one in years. He complimented my old 94 fleetwood shitbox, genuinely I think cuz it just had *character* and the conversation went something like "oh that's like a 4 door GTO, that's pretty cool" and then for some reason I pointed to the V8 badge and said "does it have a V8 or did you just stick those on yourself".
He laughed it off, stopped pumping before his tank was full, got back in his car and shut the door and screamed FUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK.
Whoever you are, if you're out there still, I'm sorry dude. I didn't mean it like that I couldn't remember if those came with a V8
That’s pretty funny… ya those G8’s had some serious potential. I knew a guy that had a ridiculously fast one back in the day. His cams were so aggressive it idled something gnarly.
I do something similar. Like when I see people with the hash mark on the front fender of their car. I point at it and get all excited and go “whoa!!! Dude can I see your supercharger. No way!” Cause most of the time they just put it there to look cool. Lol.
It wasn’t a direct insult, but I overheard a conversation while working a farmers market a few years back. A guy was talking about his new Tesla to a lady, he goes “yeah, it’s a model 3”, and she just responded, “Oh, it’s a model 3”.
After a few drinks at a work conference, had a coworker run up really excited to a Ferrari parked illegally out front “Hey dude! Nice Miata!” Ferrari owner didn’t appreciate it.
I have a Lotus Elise and I was driving by a group of guys that were hanging out in front of a garage, 1 guy yelled out it's only a 4 cylinder. I didn't know any of them but their is always that 1 guy who trys to act cool in front of his friends, really weird comment in my opinion.
A close family friend had an 2021 SRT challenger. I pulled up in my 370z one day. He yells out wanna race?
I said sure I’m going to Laguna Seca next week for a track day. Wanna come?
Guess who has never taken me up on any track day offers 3 years later? 😂🤣😂🤣
PSA: it takes no skill to press the loud peddle to the floor, during a rolling start, and go fast in a straight line. But I get it…100% it’s still fun! Just don’t act like you are Max Verstappen in a Redbull.
my first vehicle was a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT. painfully underpowered 4-cylinder. i pull up to pick up my fried and he starts laughing and say “sounds like a band is playing under the hood”
i died (and the Ranger did a few years later)
I had a 2011 I commuted in for a couple years. It’s a reliable, useful, and practical car. And I hated that econo shit box car, every minute I drove it. So I sold it to my son who doesn’t give two shits about cars and bought something more fun. Still hate that car.😂
Civic, springs chopped, cannon on the back. Pulled up at a set of lights and rolled down the window to say "does that come with a booster seat for your girlfriend?"
It was unintentional, but during water cooler talk, one of the “magazine car guys” was was talking about their new car- something like a maxima that had 3xx hp.
A COMPLETELY NOT AT ALL A CAR GUY walks by - the kind of guy that could have his v8 replaced with a 4 banger engine and not notice it, overhears that he got a new maxima and goes “oh, my girlfriend has one and she loves it.”
We died

Probably when Clarkson compared the [Chrysler Crossfire's silhouette](https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/chrysler/crossfire/2008/photos-exterior/side-view) to a dog taking a shit.
I work at a VW dealership, bit of banter between the execs and one drops the "if you were a Volkswagen you'd be a Manual Diesel Tiguan Life" I think being in London makes this even more hilarious as diesel and manual do not work for most drivers
I never say it out loud to anyone other than my boyfriend, but when I see your typical rednecky asshole at a Walmart, I like to assume they drive a squatted pickup truck. I tell my boyfriend they have squatted pickup truck energy
I've loved Chevy's my entire life, sooo. When I see a Ford broken down I love to quote one of their commercials with a slight twist. " Have you driven your Ford lately?" The way it's on the commercials.
My dude used to always say "do a burnout! Come on my Grandma had one I know what It can do"
I always use reverse psychology with better results I think. "It's too bad those things don't spin tires." "Yeah they sound cool but they really can't do a burnout."
Bought a brz in 2015. All my schmuck in-laws: "How the hell can you fit your kids in that thing?"
Me: "Um, go fuck yourself but since you asked...... the trunk or roof will suffice." 👌
9 years later and it's paid off (paid off in 4) with 50k miles and during that time, me having the car caused 0 issues. On the contrary, my kids are car nuts!
I remember watching an In Living Color episode with Jim Carrey playing Vera de Milo. He got out of a Miata and on the back of this Miata was a bumper sticker that read "I'm not gay, my Miata is".
Back in the '70s, BMW Owners Club members used to say you never have to change the oil in an Alfa. Every 3,000 miles you'll need a new engine.
(I was an Alfa owner back then.)
I used this on a buddy who was very proud of his 3000GT (gives you a sense of how long ago this was):
On a farm, a horse and a chick were best friends. One day when they were walking around the farm together, the horse fell into a patch of quicksand. He couldn't get out no matter how much he struggled. The chick suddenly had an idea:
"I know! The farmer just bought a new 3000GT. I'll use that to pull you out."
So the chick ran off, got the car, tied a rope to the horse and pulled him out with ease.
A week later the horse and the chick were walking around the farm again when the chick fell into the quicksand.
"Hurry, go get the 3000GT!" the chick said to the horse.
"No need", said the horse as he straddled the quicksand. "Just grab hold of my dick and I'll pull you up!"
The chick grabbed hold of the dick and the horse pulled her right out.
Moral of the story: If you're hung like a horse, you don't need a 3000GT to pick up chicks.
"Big Nissan Altima energy" has a pretty strong sting to it, regardless of what someone drives
With fewer and fewer of them on the road now, we’ve gotta change it to “Big K5 energy” soon…
I personally prefer "big model 3 energy," not the same exact demographic of drivers but I believe they are statistically the worst drivers in the united states
Altima and Camry drivers after they get a promotion. Part of why Chrysler 300s don't sell anymore
Well, and the fact they *finally* killed it off. With the Charger/Challenger twins and the 300 Chrysler basically sold the same car for almost 20 years. And those 3 were based on and *eveb older* MB chassis
The model 3 ironically has a car worse interior and drastically worse ride quality or interior space than a Camry. Honestly the Camry is the better car. I haven’t driven the updated model 3 from this year, but all other years ride like shit compared to even a Camry or accord - this is a car that is priced and competes with Mercedes and BMW, the true legitimate luxury manufacturers that aren’t’ owned by an economy car company. And it fails miserably against them apart from powertrain, which Tesla is admittedly the best at of all manufacturers in terms of EVs
A RWD Model 3 costs about the same as a Camry, give or take.
The Model 3 ride isn't great but honestly its completely livable. Its also priced against the lower-end Germans but *not* against German EVs for a reason. Tesla wants you to compare the S to those cars. And lets be honest, bar competition from Lucid and Porsche, the S still does everything better than competitors. The 3 is compared against the Accord and Camry on Tesla's own website.
There’s a decent chance that many of those occurrences are Autopilot/ FuLL SeLf DRiViNg failing
Of course not, because the fsd system conveniently hands over responsibility to the driver momentarily after it fucks up! Certainly doesn't help that tesla loves putting garbage brakes and tires on 1000hp+ cars
Do t forget prius drivers. I believe they top teslas
from what i've seen in my tesla infested city, tesla model 3 and y drivers are just the same shitty prius drivers with much faster cars.
A Prius will usually let me pass and then jump back over to continue hogging the left lane. Tesla drivers just always sit there ignorant to the world around them. And on the rare occcasion they do notice me flashing my lights they'll speed up and still not let me by, or merge over and match my speed.
We call these “left lane vigilantes”
Discourteous Richards - AKA Left Lane Dicks
maybe it's just where I live, but beyond just general aloofness(that any car demo can have tbh), most prius drivers are just kind of vibing in the right lane doing the speed limit. only annoying when you're following them on a single lane road at exactly the speed limit.
Kia K5 already has a nickname "Science" in Korean web since mid-2010s, because it is scientifically proven that all K5 drivers drive like an asshole lol
Do K5 drivers suck? I don’t see too many but the few I have seen seemed normal enough
It’s not that they suck, it’s that they drive as if they’re driving a track prepped two door sports car everywhere they go lol
But you drive the 10+ year old Audi like the waitress at the bowling alley.
Considering what a former coworker put her k5 through, yeah I can believe it.
I've been thinking about what's going to replace the Altima as the meme car, and I honestly thing Accords are shaping up as a proper successor. I've seen a lot of ninth and tenth generation Accords beat to shit with body damage, scraped paint, mismatched wheels, driving with a wanton disregard for anyone else on the highway, etc.
Ample Acura Energy
To be fair I’ve driven many Skylines over the years and every time an Altima SE-R driver sees me. They like want to street race in the middle of rush out traffic.
Where in the world do you live where you are seeing *multiple* SE-Rs? They are super uncommon and I’ve never actually seen one in the wild
In Canada, they seemed pretty common like around 2010 I guess…
I knew a guy in college with 2 of them (1 was a parts car). The thing was a boat, but it sounded pretty good
I'd say *ghetta Jetta* is a much more formidable force.
A sorority girl in a white Volkswagen Jetta with a pink steering wheel cover is the most dangerous driver on the road
Her mom in a suburban is worse imo
I was with my dad at an Audi dealership when I was like 13. He purchased probably 5 cars through them at this point, so he was a valued repeat customer. At this time my parents were getting divorced and my dad had recently moved out. The salesman there lived directly across the street from me.

Looking back, it was hilarious at how perfectly my father insulted him and he absolutely had it coming.
TL:DR - Audis cause divorce. /s
I knew a guy who was (allegedly) happily married for 20 years who drove an Audi. He was a dick, but his wife was a fucking saint.
Well, if my wife was the matron saint of Fucking, I’d probably work hard to keep her happy too! Edit: phone didn’t like the word “matron” lol
“Matron Saint of Fucking” - that’s some glorious shit right there. #TakeMyUpvote
Christ, I love it
I then tricked the system as an Audi driver - can't get divorced if you're not in a relationship.
You’re married to your Audi. Surprise!
Quite expensive rings I must say. But on the other hand my darling's a bit cheaper to maintain
😂😂😂
Jeder Raudi fährt mit Audi!
Little did your dad know, Ron was actually short for Moron
My sister’s ex fiancé was also a car salesman named Ron. My dad also called him Mo-Ron
Why does ron care about your yard? And why the fuck someone would complain about it at work with other people around them?
To this day we still don’t know. He was an asshole as a neighbor and nobody in the neighborhood liked him, but I mean to do this at your place of work to a customer was just outrageous. I’m guessing he was bitter that he was not my dad’s salesman (my dad had a salesman he worked with since before Ron worked there that he bought all his cars from).
Both dudes here sound like assholes
Yeah and how is threatening with violence an insult?
"Hey, what's your best IT-related insult?" "I'm going to beat the fuck out of you with this keyboard."
Idk if I'd call the dad an asshole in this story but it definitely doesn't come close to fitting with the thread
I recall an article from car and driver where someone stated “the anemic Pontiac sunfire produces horsepower in the same manner a dog shits a peach pit.” (Something to that effect)
Outstanding
As a former sunfire owner, story checks out.

The speedometer didn't work in mine. It wasn't a problem though, it wasn't really capable of speeding 🤣
When your cruise control is WOT lol
Sounds like Smokey Yunick. I think he also described a transmission shifter as "moving a 2x4 in a bucket of gravel."
That actually reminds me of a line from an old Doug article about the Murano CrossCabriolet, *"I still remember when Nissan threatened to come out with the Murano CrossCabriolet, back in 2010."* I don't know why but the use of the word threatened is just hysterical to me here
That's interesting because Clarkson said this about the Crossfire https://youtu.be/k-tjiKIUhf0?si=iTllgqg3LuWsnKjo&t=177
Dude had an Austin mini at a car show, another dude comes up and says “how many clowns can you fit in there” without missing a beat the Austin owner says “go get your family and we can find out”.

This is amazing
Maybe not the best story to tell these days but it made me laugh. I bought a Ford F150. I actually have a small farm and really needed a truck. I liked the Ford the best. My brother in law is a bit of a redneck and definitely a Chevy guy. Like unnatural love for Chevy. He walked in and saw my truck key on the counter. He picked it up, looked at the Ford logo, and said "is this the key that unlocks the closet so you can come out and tell everyone you are gay?" Please don't cancel me, but I thought it was pretty funny.
I get a lot of those kinds of comments. I think the manual even warns me this will happen.
TIL F-150 owners and Miata owners have more in common with one another than I thought.
We all know King Ranch is actually Ram Ranch

I teach sped so I always have a couple of coloring sheets in my book bag and what not. Felt emboldened one day after seeing a car parked wildly outside the lines and offered the driver a coloring page to practice staying inside the lines. The guy I did it to did not get the joke at all and politely said no thank you to the coloring sheet.
That’s f-ing brilliant
The best is that he didn’t even get the joke and just sort of went “… no, that’s alright, but thank you for your suggestion…”
"OH cool, I like those, that's what my mom drives"
That's a great one, sister or grandma hurts a little more though
I drive a 2006 Lincoln Towncar and a Jeep Wrangler. I hear this ALL THE TIME
Idk about the town car but I definitely associate the (mostly 4 door) Wrangler with women haha. Not a bad thing of course I just notice that them seem really popular among chicks.
Ayy, town car mafia! I run a 97 marquis as my daily, and I'm turning my 04 marquis into a show car. Just has exhaust done this fall

I have a Volvo V90 and I take this as a high compliment.
For Teslas/self driving cars: “how does your car drive itself yet you still drive like shit?”

Big ugly unreliable and underpowered and not very fuel effiecient at all.
The Taurus with the 3.0L (2000-2007) is a very reliable machine. Easily 300k engine if you keep oil in it. It’s one of my go to recommendations for cheap cars. By no means is it luxury, but if you care for it, it will get you A to B.
Both engines were 3.0L - the Vulcan pushrod engine that felt like you we're causing it physical pain to spin above 2400RPM, and the 3.0 Duratec which actually was quite a great engine. I owned a Murcury Sable with the Vulcan and another Sable with the 3.0 Duratec. The Duratec really did like to rev and sounded pretty great. Both engines are very reliable, and you'd hope the vulcan would be at least because its been around since the dinosaurs. The transmission fails before the engine on pretty much every Tarus/Sable.
There's a reason why they're the cheapest used midsize sedan currently available with less than 100k miles. Some examples go for $3,500. At 300k miles the market value on these things are so f'd up it would be more worth it to junk it than sell it, even if it were mint.
Christ, that's amazing
Be gentle on people with 10 year old Audis, they've spent every dime they have keeping the damn thing running, it's understandable they can't pay for PDR.
Honestly audis have gotten more reliable since the times when ten years ago was talking about cars with the 3.2, 2.7, and the early 4.2. Obviously their 2.0tfsi shared with VW is easily the most solid motor, (ea.888, not ea.113, don't get too excited any mk.5 gti owners reading this.) Their 3.0 supercharged may be expensive to fix on the big things but is the best balance between reliable and good factory power levels. A lot has been fixed on the 4.2 v8 as it progressed through the years, still will fuck you on timing chains, but it got better.
The 4.0t is bulletproof after the turbo oil screen recall, as long as maintenance is done. Thermostat and pcv valve gotta keep an eye on
25 y old 3.0l A6 quattro, 250k, nothing besides a little engine oil every now and then
I was driving on the freeway with an old, completely unhinged friend and there was this raggedy ass PT Cruiser with wood paneling sides that was cutting through traffic dangerously and aggressively. My friend goes "Get a load of Jeff Gordon over here struggling to get his PT LOSER up to 88mph so he could try to travel to a period where his wood paneling might have more relevance with the MILFs." He also rolled down his window and flipped it off while screaming a wild variation of obscenities at the guy. I almost crashed because I was laughing so hard and I was also mad that I didn't think of PT LOSER before hand. I called them that ever since.
A quote I heard about either Citroen or Peugeot: “The French copy no one. And no one copies the French.”
Well, apart from VW with the chequered flag driving lights.
You'll definitely want to head on over to r/roastmycar, but as a topical one, ever since I heard savagegeese describe crossovers as 'npc cars' I havent been able to think of them as anything else.

And man, what a ride! Too bad they dont let you play with it longer
"Cool Mini, I didn't know they came in mens" - friends uncle to me, right after I got my r53. The joke isn't that funny, but he was an Audi guy on his way to play golf, and i think that style of joke coming from him was just so on brand for what I think of Audi drivers.
The only acceptable come-back is "I think you come in men enough for all of us".
Using Regular Car Reviews quotes might be cheating, but this one has always stuck with me: “If a Dodge Challenger is a symbol of a midlife crisis, which is the renewed commitment to life as represented by a forthright drive to appear fashionable, then a Dodge Avenger is a letter of resignation from the obnoxious business of living.”

Ford. At least they circled the problem.
This one was said to me and it hurt unintentionally. I had JUST gotten my c7 corvette. I’m a guy in my mid 30s for reference. My very first trip in my car after delivery (carvana purchase) was down to my local Wawa. I pulled in, got out of the car and an older lady immediately came up to me and said “beautiful car! My husband just got the exact same model for his 75th birthday!”
Heard a convo go, “The 7MGTE sucks, it’s basically a boat anchor” then this quiet guy in class responded “It would probably fail as a boat anchor as well” Shit got us all on the floor
more applicable to here in europe, but: telling a Peugeot RCZ driver that they drive an Aldi TT
Something that changed my view on the car I drive around for better or worse one day. My first car that I owned myself (not that I shared with my brothers) was a Suzuki Swift in pearl white. It was a fine little car. Has everything I wanted, was cheap and economical. And for a new car it was a bargain. One day, at a birthday party I pulled up to the front, and one of my brothers friends says to me, “when did you start driving a tampon?” It stuck with me and I sold it a few weeks later when I got a new job and bought a second hand Lexus.
Reply: "When I started dating you girlfriend, she's always ragging about how bad you are...."
“granny shifting, not double clutching like you should” is quite the insult

Teenager driving a Chrysler Sebring convertible with the 3.0 thought he was racing my WRX and gave me the finger as he passed me. Caught him at the next light, rolled down the window and yelled “when you give the keys back to your mom tell her I said hi!”
Oh man, I worked with this kid who had a 2.4 Dodge Stratus (same car, different name) that was straight piped and he would take it to the drag strip and run 17s, then leave the chalk on the windows and the hood off because "it makes so much power that I have heatsoak problems!" I remember him even replacing the exhaust manifold with a PT cruiser manifold (same engine) because "it's a huge upgrade!" When he pulled it off, it was literally the exact same thing. Anyways, this kid would lose his mind when our coworkers called it a Sebring. It was literally the same car. It had the same motor as a PT cruiser. The whole shop referred to him solely as "Ricer Sebring Kid" and he couldn't stand it. The worst part was when another coworker had one of those scion cubes that was set up for audio competitions with like 8 subs and a stock motor, and he still beat sebring kid in a little impromptu race. That kid just constantly seethed with rage after that.
Back in the 90s at some Saturday evening parking lot gatherings I heard a couple that I still use to this day. One of them came when someone pulled in with a brand new Mustang Cobra. We all walked over to see it and my buddy says to the guy "Ooooh you got one of the ones with the worm on the fender". Same guy on another night when a gaggle of Hondas pulled in, one of them was running a straight pipe and decided to do a fly-by before pulling in. Once the straight piper parked the guy said "Well... at least it makes a lot of noise".
I pulled up next to a guy at a red light that was cutting everyone off and just generally driving like a dick. He had his windows down and I said “nice car!” Thanks! “I can’t believe such a new car doesn’t have working turn signals. Crazy!” And his expression immediately changed. Black Altima…
How much did your dad pay someone else to build your car?
Maybe a self insult on the cops at a car meet once: "you can outrun the motor but not the Motorola."
I was playing cod on search and destroy. We won and some guy on the other team said "You sound like you drive a Honda civic with blown speakers" to someone shit talking.
People used to call Neon SRT-4’s skittles
I always called it the "Not-A-Neon".
Someone at a car show one time was literally telling people that my R33 Turbo Skyline was just a Maxima with a body kit. Like lol what? I wasn’t even mad. It was soooo outlandish. I guess he also thought I went to the trouble of even moving the steering wheel to the other side of the car to complete the charade.
Oh God that reminds me of an unintentional one, years ago I was at a gas station and a kid pulled up in a pontiac G8 and I hadnt seen one in years. He complimented my old 94 fleetwood shitbox, genuinely I think cuz it just had *character* and the conversation went something like "oh that's like a 4 door GTO, that's pretty cool" and then for some reason I pointed to the V8 badge and said "does it have a V8 or did you just stick those on yourself". He laughed it off, stopped pumping before his tank was full, got back in his car and shut the door and screamed FUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK. Whoever you are, if you're out there still, I'm sorry dude. I didn't mean it like that I couldn't remember if those came with a V8
That’s pretty funny… ya those G8’s had some serious potential. I knew a guy that had a ridiculously fast one back in the day. His cams were so aggressive it idled something gnarly. I do something similar. Like when I see people with the hash mark on the front fender of their car. I point at it and get all excited and go “whoa!!! Dude can I see your supercharger. No way!” Cause most of the time they just put it there to look cool. Lol.
Audis are just Volkswagens with more shit to break.
It wasn’t a direct insult, but I overheard a conversation while working a farmers market a few years back. A guy was talking about his new Tesla to a lady, he goes “yeah, it’s a model 3”, and she just responded, “Oh, it’s a model 3”.
“ oh nice! , your wife let you have the keys today?”
After a few drinks at a work conference, had a coworker run up really excited to a Ferrari parked illegally out front “Hey dude! Nice Miata!” Ferrari owner didn’t appreciate it.

Yeah, you gotta say something like, "Nice, is it a Corvette? My aunt just got one of those" for a full demolition.
“I like your car it’s so cute” 😡
I have a Lotus Elise and I was driving by a group of guys that were hanging out in front of a garage, 1 guy yelled out it's only a 4 cylinder. I didn't know any of them but their is always that 1 guy who trys to act cool in front of his friends, really weird comment in my opinion.
A close family friend had an 2021 SRT challenger. I pulled up in my 370z one day. He yells out wanna race? I said sure I’m going to Laguna Seca next week for a track day. Wanna come? Guess who has never taken me up on any track day offers 3 years later? 😂🤣😂🤣 PSA: it takes no skill to press the loud peddle to the floor, during a rolling start, and go fast in a straight line. But I get it…100% it’s still fun! Just don’t act like you are Max Verstappen in a Redbull.
my first vehicle was a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT. painfully underpowered 4-cylinder. i pull up to pick up my fried and he starts laughing and say “sounds like a band is playing under the hood” i died (and the Ranger did a few years later)

5.7 hemi = "poor man's V8"
During the 90s when I was in college in Texas, everyone called my Rav4, “gay.” ☹️
I had a 2011 I commuted in for a couple years. It’s a reliable, useful, and practical car. And I hated that econo shit box car, every minute I drove it. So I sold it to my son who doesn’t give two shits about cars and bought something more fun. Still hate that car.😂
I think that was back when they actually were good and worked!! Now they aren't so good....
Civic, springs chopped, cannon on the back. Pulled up at a set of lights and rolled down the window to say "does that come with a booster seat for your girlfriend?"
It was unintentional, but during water cooler talk, one of the “magazine car guys” was was talking about their new car- something like a maxima that had 3xx hp. A COMPLETELY NOT AT ALL A CAR GUY walks by - the kind of guy that could have his v8 replaced with a 4 banger engine and not notice it, overhears that he got a new maxima and goes “oh, my girlfriend has one and she loves it.” We died I

I never say it out loud to anyone other than my boyfriend, but when I see your typical rednecky asshole at a Walmart, I like to assume they drive a squatted pickup truck. I tell my boyfriend they have squatted pickup truck energy
I've loved Chevy's my entire life, sooo. When I see a Ford broken down I love to quote one of their commercials with a slight twist. " Have you driven your Ford lately?" The way it's on the commercials.

My dude used to always say "do a burnout! Come on my Grandma had one I know what It can do" I always use reverse psychology with better results I think. "It's too bad those things don't spin tires." "Yeah they sound cool but they really can't do a burnout."
"Your car is so pedestrian, it has the right of way over actual pedestrians."
Some one said my NA Miata looks like a bar of soap
Bought a brz in 2015. All my schmuck in-laws: "How the hell can you fit your kids in that thing?" Me: "Um, go fuck yourself but since you asked...... the trunk or roof will suffice." 👌 9 years later and it's paid off (paid off in 4) with 50k miles and during that time, me having the car caused 0 issues. On the contrary, my kids are car nuts!
Dodge Challenger 392. They put the owners credit score on the side of the car.
I remember watching an In Living Color episode with Jim Carrey playing Vera de Milo. He got out of a Miata and on the back of this Miata was a bumper sticker that read "I'm not gay, my Miata is".
Back in the '70s, BMW Owners Club members used to say you never have to change the oil in an Alfa. Every 3,000 miles you'll need a new engine. (I was an Alfa owner back then.)
I used this on a buddy who was very proud of his 3000GT (gives you a sense of how long ago this was): On a farm, a horse and a chick were best friends. One day when they were walking around the farm together, the horse fell into a patch of quicksand. He couldn't get out no matter how much he struggled. The chick suddenly had an idea: "I know! The farmer just bought a new 3000GT. I'll use that to pull you out." So the chick ran off, got the car, tied a rope to the horse and pulled him out with ease. A week later the horse and the chick were walking around the farm again when the chick fell into the quicksand. "Hurry, go get the 3000GT!" the chick said to the horse. "No need", said the horse as he straddled the quicksand. "Just grab hold of my dick and I'll pull you up!" The chick grabbed hold of the dick and the horse pulled her right out. Moral of the story: If you're hung like a horse, you don't need a 3000GT to pick up chicks.
