I'm already on the run muahah

[stiff bloom]

you cannot escape!

You drive a golf after all

[prisma frost]

My 90HP sure will outrun you

[prisma frost]

Omfg its a Polo

[stiff bloom]

omfg tell someone who cares, bub. like the judge

[prisma frost]

Nobody ever has guessed Polo

[prisma frost]

You won't catch me!

[stiff bloom]

its because nobody has heard of a polo unless they've played gran turismo 2

or unless they're into horses

[prisma frost]

American people, smh.

[stiff bloom]

or dumb water sports

[stiff bloom]

piece o crap cars, smh

[prisma frost]

smh

[stiff bloom]

(jk they're prolly fine, idk ive never driven one)

smh urself

MODS we have a man needing urgent arrest

[prisma frost]

here a guide to help u

Objection, Your Honor!
The authenticity of this evidence is highly questionable. I believe it has been falsified and request that it be properly authenticated before being admitted.

[stiff bloom]

in order to object you must turn yourself in, mr-running-man

[prisma frost]

Lets do it via Zoom

[stiff bloom]

NO that's mazda

you have a Polio or whatever

[prisma frost]

You will be criminally charged for calling it a Polio

[stiff bloom]

No can do brother, its' the cole hard truth

[prisma frost]

Oh no you did not just do that

[stiff bloom]

Yes. Because I can. because it's my brand

get branded on

[prisma frost]

Your brand is soon to be under my name

[stiff bloom]

via zoom?

[prisma frost]

Of crouse

[stiff bloom]

pffffff WHAT

[prisma frost]

😳

[stiff bloom]

Where did THAT come from. Good ol hallucination AI right there, ya love to see it

[prisma frost]

Those are fake sources

[stiff bloom]

mr AI man cites this message as its evidence

that's my favorite part

[prisma frost]

Too keep it on a car topic, he is a picture of a skoda citigo

[stiff bloom]

Oh yeah this is car chat huh

[prisma frost]

eh is it?

[stiff bloom]

Oh man I hadn't seen a Skoda I really didn't like the design of

[stiff bloom]

until i saw this thing

[prisma frost]

Its nice

Nothing beats the Polo though

[stiff bloom]

eh it gets way too bubble-shaped for its design imo

[prisma frost]

choose ur cup of tea

[stiff bloom]

is Polo/Citigo bigger or smaller than a Peugeot 308

[pure pond]

thats just a vw up

[stiff bloom]

hey dats a up

[stiff bloom]

ah so smaller

[prisma frost]

yes by a few mm

cm

[stiff bloom]

Well I rented a 308 a couple of months ago and it was lovely

[prisma frost]

they all are yes

[stiff bloom]

yes

[prisma frost]

so.."nice"

[stiff bloom]

that radio looks horrendous. Just like the one my dad's Passat used to have

[stiff bloom]

I choose fiesta

cuz up is smaller than polo wikipedia sez

[prisma frost]

No u choose Polo

[stiff bloom]

eww no

[prisma frost]

Hell yeah

Its so nice inside]

[stiff bloom]

hell no

it's so bleak inside

[prisma frost]

I love it

A boring interior for a boring person

There is no better match

[stiff bloom]

phair

i choose peugeot 208

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/2019_Peugeot_208_GT_Line_PureTech_Automatic_1.2_Interior.jpg/1024px-2019_Peugeot_208_GT_Line_PureTech_Automatic_1.2_Interior.jpg

[prisma frost]

way too much going on

[stiff bloom]

it's nonsense. i love it

lmao there's like 3 things going on fym

[prisma frost]

its too mcuh

[stiff bloom]

I will say the steering wheel is absolutely dum🅱️

in my week driving the 308 i never got used to it

[pure pond]

i liked the Peugeot partner. but yeah the wheel is a bit weird

[prisma frost]

We rented this for 2 weeks in Spain, pretty okay interior but I HATEEE that AC controls are on a screen

Like temprature is controlled on screen

[stiff bloom]

that second screen is pretty bizarre

[prisma frost]

yeah

[stiff bloom]

the 308 had regular ol' climate controls

[prisma frost]

its pretty cool tbh

weird shifter

[stiff bloom]

o mine was a manual

[prisma frost]

fun life

[stiff bloom]

its just buttons?

[prisma frost]

that shifter is so high

[pure pond]

i hate that the dash is at a angle

[prisma frost]

well with a switch type of thingy

[stiff bloom]

yeah that's a trend that's starting to get really old and it doesn't make sense imo

[prisma frost]

eh its so its more foccused to the driver

makes sense tbh

[stiff bloom]

Meanwhile, Clio?

https://tenor.com/view/perfection-perfect-amazing-beautiful-gorgeous-gif-19105494

[prisma frost]

we have a renault zoe

looks the same

for the most part

[stiff bloom]

never driven, but to me it looks like the right mix of utility and style/fun

[prisma frost]

It looks fine

[stiff bloom]

halfway between peugeot and vw

How's yours?

[stiff bloom]

Which is fine for the dash, but for the center stack? I hate it

[prisma frost]

Like hows my car?

[stiff bloom]

my mom has a brand new Q8, whenever i'm riding shotgun and want to adjust anything it's a royal pita

[stiff bloom]

the zoe ye

like, interiorwise

[stiff bloom]

so yeah kinda me too

[prisma frost]

Well I drive Polo, my dad drives Zoe and I hate the interior it just somehow feels so big inside for how small that car is

[stiff bloom]

But i-

[stiff bloom]

isn't that a good thing?

[prisma frost]

coming from someone with a smaller polo

[stiff bloom]

according to wiki polo and zoe/clio are same segment

[pure pond]

Bring the basic dash back

[prisma frost]

when I first got my license it felt normal and good but now that I've driven my Polo for 6 months it just feels so big inside so i guess thats good but I hate it

[charred depot]

You all want "basic" interiors but then dont want this

[prisma frost]

My Polo is kinda basic

Not that basic though

[charred depot]

front wiper arm delete for weight savings

[stiff bloom]

for the record i never said/will say that

basic interiors blow. interior is really one of the only places designers can potentially add character while not sacrificing usability

[pure pond]

i would like to have a plastic dash to smash my head against when im in a crash not metal

[stiff bloom]

to make a bland one is like, "why"

[stiff bloom]

much quicker death?

[charred depot]

The alternative solution is to just not crash : )

simple as

[pure pond]

sadly there are a lott of stupid drivers

[prisma frost]

Enjoy the backseats in my Polo, the legroom is even less than in this picture in my Polo since im so tall

[charred depot]

Try the third row of a 8 seater peugeot 505.

[prisma frost]

wow

8 seater

[charred depot]

yeah

[stiff bloom]

oh boy you got him talking about 505s again

i'll check back in an hour

[charred depot]

I talk about 305's not 505's

[stiff bloom]

o u rite

[charred depot]

505's are too american and boaty

[prisma frost]

My backseats are perfect for 3 little kids

[stiff bloom]

waow

[prisma frost]

a few babies

[stiff bloom]

several chopped up corpses?

[prisma frost]

no ofc not!

😉

[stiff bloom]

o rite my bad

[charred depot]

lots of room in my cars which are fairly small thanks to not wasting space for safety crap

[pure pond]

u can fit 7

what?

[stiff bloom]

I mean I can't, but you probably could

[prisma frost]

Uhm

[stiff bloom]

My dad used to have a ford Flex that sat 8 and with a huge hatch to boot (get it?)

I miss that thing

https://hips.hearstapps.com/amv-prod-cad-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/images/16q2/667349/2016-ford-flex-35l-ecoboost-awd-test-review-car-and-driver-photo-668449-s-original.jpg

[prisma frost]

Soon ™️

[charred depot]

disgustang

I dont know why people have things like that here in Scotland it is literally raining like 99.9% of the time whyyyy

[stiff bloom]

it's like if you took a murano crosscabriolet and scaled down in microsoft word 70%

I love it

[pure pond]

i want a range rover. we have a range rover at home. the range rover

[stiff bloom]

also cmon man, we even have an emote for smfh

[pure pond]

looks the same

[charred depot]

ford so probably less reliable than the range rovers

[stiff bloom]

naw that's the explorer

[prisma frost]

Range rover reliablity is the best

[charred depot]

mhm

[stiff bloom]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/2011_Ford_Explorer_XLT_--_05-18-2011.jpg/1200px-2011_Ford_Explorer_XLT_--_05-18-2011.jpg

[stiff bloom]

alright it's official he lost it

I call dibs on his stuff

especially the polio

[charred depot]

I never understand why classic fords and even new fords are so desired for here

[prisma frost]

Also I don't want to flex but my Polo has a 5 star NCAP rating

[stiff bloom]

also technically the flex came out in 2008, way before that gen of range rover sooooooo who copied who exactly

[charred depot]

Well atleast you will live to learn from your purchase : )

[prisma frost]

We had this beast on our Vacation in America. Such a nice Ford Explorer and luxurious

[stiff bloom]

oooo last gen best gen

[prisma frost]

Haha good one

[charred depot]

escort is the most boring car here

[stiff bloom]

see also: best

[charred depot]

its truly awful

[stiff bloom]

he says, not acknowledging the gen 2 reliant

[charred depot]

I dont know why people get all excited for them

[prisma frost]

American nature is such a beauty

The people aren't though

10/10 would not recommend visiting

[stiff bloom]

TF YOU MEAN huh boi

[charred depot]

the reliant robin van has a better suspension design than the escort.

[stiff bloom]

but yea i agree

[stiff bloom]

except it doesn't have a suspension design really

[charred depot]

neither does the escort

[prisma frost]

Amazing

(This was before America got fked)

Anyway im sure there is a car somewhere in that picture so it should fall under car talk

[stiff bloom]

oh whoops i meant to quote the "people" reply. whoopsies

[prisma frost]

This was our Beast in Canada

Big old Tahoe

[stiff bloom]

aite sure. The robin front is literally as basic suspension as it's possible to have other than to literally not have it. Meanwhile the rear is floating perched leaves. ALMOST literally as basic as is possible

[prisma frost]

American cars sure do be giant.

[stiff bloom]

and there's TWO bigger versions if you can believe it

[prisma frost]

I can believe it

[charred depot]

Well the reliant drives better

[prisma frost]

All the cars in Europe are nice and small

[charred depot]

For how much old fords cost I have to hold them to a standard, although even if they costed the same as the other stuff they would still be shiiit

[stiff bloom]

yeah i envy you guys there

all we do anymore are SUVs

[prisma frost]

I do wish to visit America again at some point because its just so beautiful

Outside the cities ofc

I only love the Nature

[charred depot]

The least safe I have been in a car was a expensive cortina that the gearboxed locked at 90mph on.

[prisma frost]

Sounds safe

You wont see something like this in Europe

[charred depot]

god id love to just go in a straight line for miles

really missing out

[prisma frost]

Till u fall asleep

then crash

Isnt this just amazing, I wish we had terain like this in Europe

Again, im sure there is a car somewhere in this pic)

Anyway its time for the European to get his 8 hours of sleep

[white heart]

Ngl I like the insides of peugeot

The new 2008 is pretty cool

[stiff bloom]

me too!

[white heart]

They are quite skilled at making them seem expensive while being cheap lol

[stiff bloom]

goodnight!

[white heart]

Yeah I prolly should sleep too

[stiff bloom]

oh woof haha

well goodnight to you too!

[white heart]

But nice to know there are some peoples who don't shit on french cars, good night mate

[stiff bloom]

haha we gotta stand up for what's right

[charred depot]

great views here : )

[cold anvil]

citroen will always be superior

[flint sable]

Chevy Corvair with the worlds loosest steering rack

[flint sable]

I recognize that trail in the bottom left

That’s plateau point

I hiked it

[tepid wing]

Would it be feasible to strap an extra CAN device into a car and talk to it via the OBD-II port? 🤔

[prisma frost]

Very good idea

[violet meteor]

guys my car manual (jetta mk5 2007) says to put g12+ but the bowl says g12

i accidentally poured g12 into it is it bad? (like 0.5liters)

[vocal mural]

G12 and G12+ is the same. (Ethylene glycol)

[misty mantle]

Gotta take the Bronco in For smog today

[pure pond]

as long you dont mix other collours coolants because it can turn into gel

[charred depot]

where muffler

[vocal mural]

Not needed.

[charred depot]

technically a legal requirement in the UK I think, but in my opinion a turbo is a muffler.

[dusk ocean]

@compact grotto https://www.pistonheads.com/news/Porsche/GT3/49110

[compact grotto]

ha, yeah watched the reveal earlier. Looks.. like the old one

[dusk ocean]

yeah and disappointing innovation overall

cams from the prev gen RS

[compact grotto]

eh, a .2

[dusk ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/hercules-animated-cartoon-comedy-big-deal-gif-3476533

meh still

@compact grotto the biggest wtf is weissach on non RS

money grab, really

[compact grotto]

i think that's a thing on all GT products

[dusk ocean]

nawe

only RS

[compact grotto]

918! lol

[dusk ocean]

i mean cmon

[compact grotto]

its Porsche, the company of 6000 options

• 1000 options for the options

[dusk ocean]

but the whole thing about weissach was that it was like "ridiculous" on top of "ridiculous"

now you can do a GT3 weissach

laaaame

[compact grotto]

yeah, an ugly black hood and some seat stiching

[dusk ocean]

yep

the only semi nice thing is GT3 touring with leichtbau

you get the mag wheels and CF roof

I think the GT3 touring is the only one I'd consider

after that I am just going to build another Pcar

its just so nice to go out to a 1000 hp sedan that always runs lol

[civic spoke]

👀👀👀

[dusk ocean]

Like all BMWs do

@compact grotto I would cut this wing off with a sawz all at signing

[compact grotto]

Touring is the best

or S/T

[dusk ocean]

I hate that its almost now a mid-wing

[compact grotto]

just so expensive

starts higher than RS

[dusk ocean]

Yeah

its become a clown show honestly

[compact grotto]

some people love collecting allocations rather than the cars

gotta have ever increasing special releases just so people can flex getting allocations

[civic spoke]

What about the R?

[compact grotto]

limited production that hasn't been made since 2016

[civic spoke]

I know.

[native ermine]

thinking about pulling the trigger on that KXR i showed yesterday

[stiff bloom]

how crazy are you

[native ermine]

hey i recognize that instrument cluster

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

You're into BMWs, that's enough maintenance for a lifetime

[native ermine]

it looks like its in very good shape

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

Yeah only bmws would put the fuel economy indicator there

[stiff bloom]

plus, arguably a bmw is a better cruiser anyway

[native ermine]

look the Jaguar KXR was my first dream car

[stiff bloom]

And now you've moved onto better things

I mostly kid, it looks like a peach

[native ermine]

thats actually just a vacuum gauge

[stiff bloom]

But also, I don't see a lot that it has that your 3 series doesn't have?

[stiff bloom]

i mean it says L/10km tho

[native ermine]

beg v8 supercharged

[native ermine]

yes but it just measures vacuum

[stiff bloom]

Surely it at least has some logic to divide vacuum/distance?

[native ermine]

it might

[stiff bloom]

I mean it could, it'd just be literally lying and that seems bold even for bmw

[native ermine]

well no cause with efficiency vacuum matters

[stiff bloom]

no actually no way, engines go to 0 vacuum long before they're at max throttle

[native ermine]

its not meant to be super

precise

[stiff bloom]

I guess that's fair? But like i've also seen economy gaugues just with + and - that're clearly just vacuum. To have one with numbers on it that has the same logic is... sus to me

[stiff bloom]

that's fair

[native ermine]

ok but for real tho

literally the car i used in Need for Speed hot pursuit 2

[stiff bloom]

Hey my stance is the same: I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot (sorry 3m ) pole if I was in your position. And I love the XK. I wouldn't get it without selling a BMW or two first. BUT ALSO, it's your money

[stiff bloom]

it is CLASSIC lines

[native ermine]

meh we need the cars

[stiff bloom]

r/brandnewsentence

[native ermine]

like my dad has to drive me to work this week because hes using the car i was driving because his Prius is having issues

and like we need a 3rd car just incase this shit happens

[stiff bloom]

Orrrrr could rent a car for a few days?

[native ermine]

cause he needs a car and so do i

[native ermine]

he already has

[stiff bloom]

I'm missing something i think

[native ermine]

this is been happening for about 3 weeks now

[stiff bloom]

woof

[native ermine]

renting a car is super expensive

[stiff bloom]

yeah for that amount of time definitely

[native ermine]

so he did that for 2 weeks

thought we were going to get it fixed last weekend but for whatever reason it decided to be difficult

[stiff bloom]

Well I still wouldn't execute that strategy with a jaaag regardless

But there are worse cars

[native ermine]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i mean worst comes to worst Helga (my dads E39) can be the backup car

[stiff bloom]

Also how often does this kind of thing happen? An extra car just sitting around in case another one wants to be difficult

[native ermine]

and I'll continue to keep working on getting my E46 back on the road

[stiff bloom]

lmao oh yeah thats right, i coulda swore there were more beemers hanging around you guys

Why not use that one?

[native ermine]

so we'd have 4 cars plus my dads lambo but that's more a summer car

[native ermine]

he's using it

thats the entire problem here

were you listening 😛

[stiff bloom]

yeah i just forgot your 3 series wasn't working.

I unno, I still think the current arrangement is ok if not ideal

You sound in love with this thing tho

[native ermine]

well not "working" isn't the entire story.... more like during COVID i decided it would be a good idea to repaint it plus upgrade things.... then things happened like mental health taking a dive and my grandmother passing away last December

my dads the one doing the body work and he had to renovate her house to get it sold

and she was a heavy smoker

[stiff bloom]

Again, my only thing is that buying that Jag will more likely than not need work soon as well

[native ermine]

all cars need work

that's just cars

[stiff bloom]

If you're gonna do it outta passion, go for it. But it's not a great decision as a "reliable backup"

[stiff bloom]

of course, but to buy one with questionable reliability with years on it with the intent of it being a reliable backup, you see how I question that right?

[native ermine]

nono Helga is the "reliable" backup

[stiff bloom]

Right, I meant it as another one

"an reliable backup"

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

i always forget how cute this emote is

[native ermine]

i mean if it weren't for the lifter issue that we kinda caused and half fixed... that car would be solid

a series of unfortunate events. where the wiper cawl leaked around the wiper arm and got into the brake booster that had seals that were starting to go. it was sitting out in a huge rain storm for a week and got water in the compartment. then it sucked up water once we went to go start it

making the oil look like a double double coffee from Tims

not good

[stiff bloom]

eugh yuck

[native ermine]

then my dad bought cheap ass lifters

it still ticks yes.... but it runs

[stiff bloom]

sometimes I forget you're canadian yknow

But that's rough... Sorry to hear that

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

no running in the halls

[native ermine]

nono thats me slappy you

[stiff bloom]

no slapping in the halls

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

[native ermine]

[flint sable]

993 and Escalade V street parked

[stiff bloom]

ooo i almost got runover by one of those yestrday

[stiff bloom]

sounded great, I thought to myself as I hit the deck. It would have been a quick and painless death since those things are massive and inexplicably sharp.

[white heart]

Don't do it

[white heart]

Give it a week and the jag will fucking kill itself

You know it's bad when it's arguably worse than the fucking pure tech engine

[white heart]

If I ever have to race against a jag I'll just pick a Toyota, I'll reach the finish line while his car going shop after the first pull

Might as well pick a bike

[dull cedar]

Do not

They are hideously expensive to keep alive

It was cheaper for my hair dresser to buy another newer jag than to keep daily driving his xkr

[white heart]

Friend of my grandpa owe a jag, an old one, pretty it's the same model, he fixed the engine, was happy, had some fun, engine somehow killed itself and now he has to find a new one lol

Let me find the picture rq

Forgot the model but yeah

Picture of the front refuse to upload

[stiff bloom]

hey look it's an XK

[white heart]

Yeah funny how it came in with engine issues

Got fixed

Killed the whole fucking engine

So he bought a new one and is planning to sell it later on

He drive something else

Shit I don't have a picture

But it's a Shelby cobra

[native ermine]

that's a convertible not a coupe

also yall just haters

They finally got the Dodge viper right

It was pretty funny how they said "fuck it we're throwing the hellcat engine in everything" though

[stiff bloom]

Let's see if I can name all of the good things they've ever made off the top of my head

Viper but only 2013+
Srt4
Talon jk that's a Mitsubishi
Charger but only 2009+ jk that's a Mercedes

[dull cedar]

Which means it'll need literally everything done to keep it alive lmao

[graceful flower]

It's crazy how expensive vipers have gotten in the used market

[stiff bloom]

I'd argue the pt Cruiser is a good car but I can see the arguments against it so I didn't include it

[graceful flower]

An easy 25k CAD car is now 55-60k

Make me sad

[stiff bloom]

Especially considering a vast vast majority of them are supra sorry I mean garbage

[stiff bloom]

Wow they're still that cheap there? They're routinely 80k+USD here

[graceful flower]

For a gen1?

Or you mean gen5

[stiff bloom]

Yep gen 1

Gen 5 is well over 120kusd

Vipers here basically never got below Warhammer 40k

[graceful flower]

Guess I'll never get to own one

[stiff bloom]

It's okay, as we just discussed, a vast majority are garbage

[native ermine]

OOOR the onwer already got it serviced and it doesn't need much if anything

i'll buy a CARFAX and see the car first before i buy it

im not stupid

just crazy

[native ermine]

naw yall just don't have any taste and don't know how to work on anything

[native ermine]

gtfo

[graceful flower]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[native ermine]

naw more like im crazy and don't care

almost all cars are fine... the problem is neglectful owners

the trick is to sus out who's owned the car before you

1 owner cars with a full service record are the best cars

[stiff bloom]

Now where have I heard that one before?

Oh yeah, right before I get screwed on a car

[native ermine]

yeah what car was it?

[stiff bloom]

Oh you're gonna love this

[native ermine]

am i?

[graceful flower]

Uh oh

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

Ye, my Baby, my HHR, the guy totally screwd me on it

[native ermine]

OooOOOO

GM

[stiff bloom]

Oh also the CMax I had before it

[native ermine]

wow

[graceful flower]

Fire car

[native ermine]

sooo its true what i say

bad owners make cars bad

[stiff bloom]

No the fiero has been a total peach the entire decade I've had it somehow

[native ermine]

impressive

did you say its an 88?

[stiff bloom]

ye

[native ermine]

ok makes sense

[stiff bloom]

I kid in reality, they were excellent past 84

but the meme lives regardless ofc

[stiff bloom]

[native ermine]

well yes but also 88 was the best out of all of them

[stiff bloom]

despite having had the hhr for over a year and having gone through almost everyting, it still gives me shit

i feel like the clutch is about to go out, hence the video i posted like a month ago

[graceful flower]

You own a fiero? Nice

[native ermine]

[graceful flower]

Very cool cars I like em

[native ermine]

i've seen a couple of them around here

in good shape as well

[graceful flower]

Iron Duke or 3.8

Wait was it a 3.8 or 3.6 I can't even remember

[stiff bloom]

2.8

[graceful flower]

They're pretty reasonably priced too

[stiff bloom]

They'll never ever be worth anything ever

[native ermine]

[stiff bloom]

Ye. And you know what? I don't want any more power. 122hp is more than enough

thought about slapping a K04 on there (people have done it) and I actually don't want to

Even at the time i had the opportunity to go with the stouter 2.4 (165hp) and I'm glad I didn't

[graceful flower]

Send this to that guy

See if it's rusty

[native ermine]

ooor i can just go look at it

[stiff bloom]

Oh that.

[stiff bloom]

that sounds like an awesom avant guarde indie film

[native ermine]

i mostly just stick with the yiff servers

[stiff bloom]

except for it was produced by Blumhouse

so it sucked. but in 15 years it got a cult following

[tepid wing]

I've never actually encountered someone like that, most of them are just cool nerdy people that have a vibe that's different from the general populace.

If you know any IT furries send them my résumé. /s

in spite of the fact that i am not a furry i still can identify that by address and it saddens me

[native ermine]

they kinda just fucked around and found out

[stiff bloom]

eh.......... actually, it's like 50/50

[near lantern]

several orders of magnitude of fucking around and finding out

[native ermine]

naw at least not the main ones

[stiff bloom]

look, furries are aite. Some of my best friends are they. But it does not take a lot for stuff to become unhinged, disproportionally to cons of other sorts

[tepid wing]

I feel like if it was that common you'd hear about it happening more.

like you said, major ones are mostly good. mostly. But you do not have to stray far from the beaten path AT ALL for it to get off the rails FAST

[native ermine]

but like... its all above board most the time

[native ermine]

isn't that the case with anything

[stiff bloom]

disproportionately to other communities

[tepid wing]

Shout-out to that hepatitis cure that costs like $20 to make but they charge like $200K for.

[native ermine]

i don't think so

[stiff bloom]

and in most other communities you have to basically seek out the freakish stuff

[near lantern]

Steal it directly from the factory :Trollface:

[stiff bloom]

Well consider yourself lucky then

[tepid wing]

You can make it yourself IIRC, but it's kinda illegal for various reasons.

Sharks are fish?

[tepid wing]

Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark
