I have plenty. And I'm not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like "get a hobby".

You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I'm talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

I have some chickens, I haven't had to wait on eggs. I have had to give some to the neighbors though.

So, just to be clear, you're OK with someone telling you to get on the bus? A bus headed to a location they aren't telling you about?

What if they took you to the train station and loaded you on a box car with a bunch of other people, is that OK?

See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it's funny.

That happened to me once! I was 15 and going to school, was riding a Lotus Eclair I'd fixed up. I entered the school zone and wanted to see if I could get over 25 mph. But there was a cop hiding and I got a ticket. I had to tell my parents, and I think they were impressed with my 31 in a 25 speeding ticket.

The best part was having to go to court, and the judge asking how I got a Lotus (she was thinking of a car) and then upon learning the truth, asking the officer why he was wasting his time stopping a kid on a bicycle.

I see all these silly rules being floated and part of me almost wishes I was back in high school so I could be really annoying.

Oh, perfect for that.

Speaking as someone who has suffered an original air cooled Beetle, they're cool but I wouldn't try to daily it. The lack of power steering would be far, far down your list of issues you will run into.

But for paralell parking a beetle specifically it can be a challenge, because reverse doesn't work like you expect. You have to push the gear lever down, like straight down toward the ground, and hold it, to put it in reverse. So you have to steer with one hand and hold the shifter with the other.

I have this weird little vehicle from the 1980's. I can best describe it as a Japanese Jeep. It wasn't ever a "big" vehicle, but seeing it next to a modern truck is jarring.

The best part is, I know from direct repeated personal experience that the 60 horsepower 4wd can go more places than a typical 4wd truck.

EDIT: Also, the truck in this picture is a 2004-2008, a 2023 is even bigger...
