Does Overexposure To Autoshite Cause Permanent Brain Damage - Discuss

[Essex V6]

Passing through a local village this morning, I spotted a Daewoo Espero in a garden. Further along the road, there was a stunning early Z28 Camaro in an eye popping green metallic.

 

Obviously, my first thoughts were "wish I had my camera to get a picture of that Daewoo" - this is not the behaviour of a rational human being.

 

I lay the blame solely on Autoshite!

[skattrd]

Did you just post this to boast you had seen an Espero in the wild?

 

Now go back and take a picture of it

[fordperv]

You cannot simply lay the blame on a website for like minded individuals, Autoshite is like a therapy session where everyone sits around and vents their

Agitation at modern life, love for simpler times and love cars that are unloved.

 

As with the thing of rational human being, you have to ask yourself if being normal is being a sheep worshiping aldi white goods type cars which are owned on pcp or financed to the eyeballs, I would rather be branded the weirdo and drive a car that costs less than the overall amount of money they lose on their soul less boxes when they drive them off the forecourt.

Strange that, I was looking at Daewoo Esperos for sale today. One even spoke to me...buy me...buy me..

This actual one...no...no...no.

Thank you Doctor Shite. I feel much better now.

[Jim Bell]

I often say Autoshiteisms at work.

 

"Can we not just hammer a slightly larger disabled person over her?"

 

Etc.

[Twiggy]

Not at all........ Autoshite addiction is a sign of normality.

Someone I know bought a brand new Mini but not in the colour they really wanted  then takes the car on its first trip out to Bournemouth where they see the colour they actually want and asks if this can be taken to Yeovil so they can test drive it .

A week later they go to the dealer and agree to have the car in the colour they wanted and get offered 2 grand less than they paid for theirs the week before and with only 200 miles on the clock.

That is NOT normal or rational.

Autoshite is .

[Asimo]

No, it is a therapy for sensible folk trying to cope with a mad world.

[purplebargeken]

Seems perfectly normal to me and I am professionally qualified to say this. No, seriously. I am. I saw TWO Sierra P100's today by the way. They wuz kool. 

[forddeliveryboy]

No, it is a therapy for sensible folk trying to cope with a mad world.

 

Exactly.

 

Few mention that over-exposure to the inside of newish modern cars is not exactly a good thing - all those endocrine disrupters, VOCs and other cancer-making stuff which comes off new plastics and other synthetic compounds.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Eh er wot??

[Jim Bell]

Volvo Owners Club causes cancer?

Blimey.

[Richard]

Volvo Owners Club causes cancer?

Blimey.

 

The VOC forum always reminds me of the Daily Mail, so you could be right.

[forddeliveryboy]

Eh er wot??

 

You're not meant to know - best not to sometimes.

 

Volvo did some research, then banned quite a few chemicals from the ingredients list of its interior plastics.

[PiperCub]

We are fine - it's everyone else that's the problem, they're mainly wierdos.

[DVee8]

No this place is normal.

A mate of mine only drives financed new Hyundai's his 63plate was coming up for it's 1st service.The dealer rang him last Wednesday,offered him a 64plate for an extra £10.00 a month.

 

The way he see's it is he had a service due that was going to cost £100 so a new car will cost him an extra £20.00.

 

He doesn't see the extra year on his finance.So last Friday two days after the phone call from the dealer he put in his 63 plate white I20 for a 64 plate white I20. He has just ran the car in for some one else.

 

Next year when the dealer gets quiet around christmas they are guaranteed a sale for there numbers from my mate

[tooSavvy]

Weirdos..... hmm?

 

We up for More or Less 》 》Savv?

 

Weathervane moment

You either take an interest in things or not, far sadder wasting life TV watching then trying to get £120 ZX D to run on mazola - in the dark - outside.  To steal a phrase from elsewhere "You Never See a Motorcycle mazola powered ZX D Parked Outside a Psychiatrist's Office"

[Sigmund Fraud]

"You Never See a mazola powered ZX D Parked Outside a Psychiatrist's Office"

 

...unless it's owned by the psychiatrist

[hauserplenty]

Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows...

 

AUTOSHITE. Your deprecation (sic) is our concern...

 

Quite a bit of automotive history here. When They finally do away with driving altogether, this could end up being a place for geezers to wheeze about the good old days of hydraulic power steering, and knowing how to park.

Wasnt Red Barchetta from the album Moving pictures along with the track Tom Sawyer ?

That is absolutely insane. Surely a vinyl wrap in the preferred colour would have been cheaper.

[Richard]

Or another radical idea- as it was a new car, how about ordering it in the right colour in the first place?

[Junkman]

So, you expect me to be normal?

 

In a world, where doctors destroy your health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth,

major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom?

 

In a world, where children are taught obedience is character, being able to repeat stuff accurately is intellect,

and not giving a fuck about this horseshit is attention deficit disorder?

 

In a world, where anything that makes us forget who we are and what we want, is called normal?

 

In a world, that believes that power is more important than money and that money is more important than happiness?

 

In a world, that is making fun of anyone who seeks happiness rather than money and accuses him of “lacking ambition�

 

In a world, that blieves, that a man with more money is the better man?

 

In a world following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable?

 

In a world, where going to a charity tea party means one's done one's bit toward putting an end to social inequity?

 

In a world, where nobody objects against wars based on lies, a world, that doesn't hold the warmongers resonsible?

 

In a world, where when you are trying to be a good, decent, respectable person, you will be seen as weak, vulnerable, and easy to manipulate?

 

In a world, where people watch telly?

 

In a world governed by the most fascist and corrupt regimes in the history of humankind?

 

 

You expect me to be normal?

You gotta be a fucking lunatic.

[Parky]

Not quite as concise or as applause worthy as Junkmans piece, but I do frequently sign off work emails with WCPGW?

 

And I did once suggest we sort out an issue with our Customer database by hammering a smaller database over it

[AlabamaShrimp]

I'm on here too much. When I've told people what it's like and the cars they love no one understands. I eventually gave up...

[mercrocker]

This place just rationalises how I have lived and thought for most of my life....The fact that the world has seemingly got suddenly worse in recent years just means I spend a lot more time here now.

[Taff]

Me? Brain damaged?

 

I'm not the one who leaves the homeless in the streets at night
I'm not the one who kept minorities and women down

I'm not the one whose pollution blackened the skies and ruined the streams
I'm not the one who made the nuclear bombs that threatened my life

I'm not the one who allows children to starve in faraway lands
I'm not the one who makes the streets unsafe to walk at night

 

No, I'm not brain damaged at all.

[holbeck]

Jeez, I just like unfashionable old cars.
