I have some issues here

1. Why is that girl in a bikini? Doesn’t seem like appropriate coilover-installing clothes to me

2. The wheels on that Miata are entirely too big

3. “no fucks given” on a car that looks nicer than anything my family has ever owned

4. “no fucks given”. Stop this shit. I’m so sick of people trying to ape Corbin Goodwin

5. “slowstice” No.

6. The name “vehicle virgins” is dumb as all hell

7. Back to the girl in the bikini, her expression makes me wanna punch her in the face.

Discuss.

These are finely crafted to appeal to the primal, basic part of your brain that triggers quick reactions before your higher thought process come up with all the WTFery you detailed in the post.

In short, bikinis and dumb things get people to click before they even know why.

Wrong part of the anatomy there, buddy.

Youtube commenters and Youtube posters ultimately come from the same pool of people.

There is one single “no fucks given” build that I accept because it actually is a junkyard build with decent wheels.

Mmmmmmmmm.

Men have two brains, but only enough blood too run one of them at a time and we have gravity to fight as well ...

Also that girl has the same body type as my last girlfriend which gives me all sorts of brain-confusion.

She reminds me of a girl that joined a LR enthusiast group and then started posting videos of her “restoring” a Series III. They were pretty much just her in a bikini with a belt sander half-heartedly trying to sand the body work. We figured it was her father making her do the videos or a boyfriend, either way SUPER creepy/cringe worthy. Most of the responses to the videos were “put some protective clothes on, you’re going hurt yourself”, not what she was expecting I guess lol.

Back to the girl in the bikini, her expression makes me wanna punch her in the face.

Let’s maybe not talk about the desire to commit an act of domestic violence.

She has a very punchable face.

It’s not domestic violence if you punch her in the face while she walks by you.... Public violence maybe?

Not really domestic.

It’s violence against women, which is widely seen to be bad... except apparently by the Oppo morning shift.

do·mes·tic vi·o·lence

noun

violent or aggressive behavior within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner.“police, social services, and voluntary agencies are working together to tackle domestic violence”

Us correcting your wording is exactly the same as advocating partner/child abuse.

Yep. That’s what he was going for... Her expression is plain stupid. Somehow I don’t think he has an actual desire to beat her up, though it is a punchable face.

Yeah, let’s jump on the guy for word choice and not the guy who wants to punch a woman in the face because she has a punchable face.

Sure, still not domestic violence... And there are tons of women I want to punch in the face. Tons of men too. Nothing bad about it as long as I don’t do it...

I wanna punch Donald Trump in the face.

I saw both of these videos this morning and thought exactly the same thing; unfortunately, with the addition of a “TOP 10 _____” video, this sums up a good 90% of YouTube car content

Amen on #4... The whole “no fucks given” thing is such a crock of shit, because the “no fucks given” people actually give so many fucks, they just think they’re too cool to admit it. Somehow “no fucks given” has turned into “make this into the most obnoxious thing possible, say you don’t care, and add 50 #hashtags to all of your instagram posts.”

If thats’s what they want to do, it’s fine by me, but they need to quit pretending and come up with a new name for it.

Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To > PushToStart 06/03/2016 at 12:00

Yeah. I dunno if my car counts as “no fucks given” or not. It’s mostly just “everything on this car is cheap as hell and it’s literally held together with tape. Enjoy”

PushToStart > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To 06/03/2016 at 12:33

I’d say a rattlecanned old Buick sort of qualifies for that lol

And really the Miata probably isn’t too far off, “repairing” a dented door with vinyl wrap is a pretty good “no fucks given” style solution, but what do I know... lol

But what I CAN tell you is that that Solstice is in no way “no fucks given.” I’m not saying it looks good, but it’s very clear that someone put a lot of effort into its appearance. And even though I think it’s fugly, they should at least admit they put effort into it.

Yeah, the Riviera is just shite, but the Miata is borderline “no fucks given”, except I clearly give some of a fuck about how it looks ‘cuz I painted my wheels, front lip, put on fender mirrors, etc.

That solstice looks like it has good custom paint and tacky-as-hell aftermarket headlights. That’s not “no fucks given” it’s just hideous.

Should have stopped at 6.

Re: 7. Violence is uncool. Violence against women is super uncool. That statement was just entirely unnecessary, to say the least.

Cool? Cool.

Otherwise, yeah, that kind of shit on YouTube pisses me off too. Be judicious with the ‘not intersted’ button on the stuff YouTube recommends and it will get better at what it comes up with.

Don’t stir shit. Use the flags or email the mods, don’t antagonise with shit like the above.

Lol I’m not though. Jake (op) is a friend of mine and this is just some light ball busting. He actually laughed about it.

Maybe but unless he came to you I don't see why my specific comment, out of all the ones on here, got a scolding.

From an outside perspective it looks thoroughly shit-stir-y, I’m a mod so I addressed that.

I also addressed Jake for point #7 in this post. The rest of the comments on this post seem well enough within bounds, if a bit smartass-y on the replies to StingrayJake, but I’ll allow those on the grounds that being technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Also, the internet really needs a sarcasm font.

Why is violence against women worse than violence against anyone else? I’m sure if it was a thumbnail of The Trump doing the Trump Face nobody would care if I said I wanted to punch it.

DasWauto > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To 06/03/2016 at 15:35

Violence against women is generally regarded as worse than violence against anyone else because women are often less physically able to defend themselves than men.

That’s not to say that women can’t defend themselves or that violence against either is acceptable, just that one is worse.

Nobody would object if it was Trump because Trump is a dispicable human being. The woman above on the other hand has done nothing to deserve being punched in the face, nor the suggestion.

A person getting punched needs to deserve it. Punchable face does not qualify, IMO.

Counterpoint: this should be the true “zero fucks given” car.

Now with even less shits given the fact he cut up the charred remains to turn it into the devil’s BMW racecar.

...But that RX-7 is absolutely memorable.
