I'd take that that POS and win all the merge wars with the $hitboxes. I'd be in heaven. Never again would a $hitbox do the usual merge with 10' available. The $hitbox would be on it's roof.

I call those " whiskey dents "

.

My car looked something like that when I bought it.
It is great, driving something you don't have to worry about.
So I get a new parking lot dent, no big deal.
Sometimes i look at the dents and wonder if any of them are new or not.

And it acts like a really good security system.
Just because no one wants to steal something that looks like that.

I really love it.

I used to drive an old Camaro that was perfect, inside and out.
I was always worrying about that thing.
Parking in the back of the lot, making sure everything was locked and safe.

It was stolen and wrecked.

I did get it back and fixed it, and I still have it, in storage.

But that made up my mind, that I did not want to drive a " perfect " car anymore.

Have Fun Everyone

Hope to see you at the get together this weekend.

Of course it's not...a new dent probably buffs something out.

I'd drive that thing with a license plate on the front that says "I DARE YOU" in the biggest block lettering I could find.....

I would take it too, I just wouldn't pay for it.

It would never get stolen, even running, unlocked, with the keys in it.......

And yall are right, I would never be out-merged!!

You know, that reminds me of days long ago, back in my teen years, I drove by this house near mine regularly, and this nice looking young girl lived there that drove a white Karmann Ghia. All the car looked like it really needed was a decent buff job to shine it up. One day as I was passing by I saw her out in the driveway, paint tray sitting behind the car and a roller in her hand, I though, "Nah, she wouldn't..." Next day, I was again passing by and there was this red Karmann Ghia sitting in the drive, complete with roller texturing....lmao

This car, it reminds me of the typical San Jose/Newark/Sunol area commuter beast out on the freeway, man those guys are vicious! I was on a job site out there once back in my A/C days, every time it rained I couldn't believe how many folks were off in the dirt, we watched an old peugeot once try to do a fast merge, spin out and clobber the center burm wall, smeared the front, he cranked it 5 minutes or so, got it fired, and backed up then drove off like nothing happened, front bumper dragging and sending sparks everywhere...I couldn't believe it...Nobody else even seemed to have a second thought about it out there...
