Y'know what fucking sucks? Rocky Horror is $30+ per ticket now. How the hell are teenagers supposed to afford that so they can be brought into a world where they're accepted as their weird and wonderful selves? This has been a safe space for generations of queer kids and weirdos, now it's expensive

What the Cruella DeVille is this shit?!

My brain has recently started reading ZF as "Zed F" and I have no idea why I'm mentally translating this into British English.

I can think of about four people who think they're fantastic. All the other owners I deal with use them as a glorified golf cart and are meh on them at best

Ah, nothing like a good panic deadline! (Made it)

I recon you'd be calling @junkman356.bsky.social then😅

Once in a while, it's good to be an American. I don't think we got those😅

Oh nah, I'll take SMG problems all day over a 335. The solution for any SMG problem is simple, just manual swap it

"Customer states their 335i..."

There will be a list of bizarre problems followed by a list of terrible mods

So, Tron: Aries works as a big ol' Nine Inch Nails video, and that is about it. Gotta admit though, it was cute af to see my daughter dancing in front of her seat to the end credits song

Y'know, I honestly wouldn't put it past him. Or also attempting to sabotage Fiat so John gets less money since that whole family is at eachothers throats in court so much

Their marketing department is too busy digging up the phone numbers for 20+ year out of date D-tier celebrities

I definitely know that feeling. I'm not actually sure it's possible for Fist to be more disconnected from the Fiat world. I mean hell, even Alfa is more connected to their community

"The guy literally known the world over as the Fiat guy" is a helluva trick though!

They're like orange cats, they all share one brain cells and have to wait their turn

Andrea Petersen @andreapetersen.bsky.social · 2d

It's amazing how this works😂😂

Well of course, he's the previous owner😂

One of the hardest parts of being a goth is trying to constantly suppress the instinct to buy new boots...

Lol, not in America. If that side-by-side had come in through the windshield and took me out* My job would be posted by tuesday😂

*If I die in a Porsche, I DEMAND to get a re-do. I will only accept death in an Italian car

I took the Porsche cause I was in a Hurry and the Marea needed gas. Ain't got time to stop when I've got two techs waiting on parts from the dealer and I don't have a parts guy this week

Andrea Petersen @andreapetersen.bsky.social · 4d

Got stuck behind this dude today, of course while driving my boss' shiny little Macan.*
Yes, that was the only strap, nothing up front and no, it wasn't tight.

(*OK, better his Macan than my Marea, I'd rather get hit by a loose side by side in a not-irreplaceable vehicle)

I can't ski, so at least that makes it a bit cheaper!
