  • The price.

    Bought a used '96 Mazda Protégé off a coworker for $700. Ran it into the ground. Scrapped it for $300 when I could finally afford a better car. Definitely got my money’s worth.

    I got to learn what driving without power steering felt like after the compressor locked up and the drive belt shredded. Ended up replacing it with a smaller belt just for the power steering since I couldn’t afford to replace the A/C. Drove with the windows down for a few months. Good times.



  • That is a load-bearing “(no explanation necessary)”.

    I’d love to see an explanation. How did we get from ‘clowder’ to ‘destruction’? Gaining a syllable and losing alliteration is not a typical linguistic evolution. Who’s actually using this term?

    The closest I’ve seen actual examples of is a tongue-in-cheek ‘catastrophe of cats’, and that never went mainstream as far as I’m aware.
