#RadRide at auction today bonus feature! Here's a wonderful rarity that's worth its homologation-special price: A 92 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R! This 4WD Group A rally beast is powered by the legendary SR20DET for a wild 227 hp at just under 2700lbs, good for 0-60 in 5.4 seconds! Impressive enough nowadays for a hot hatch, but for one 34 years old is nuts! Now, who wants some fun? DM for interest or to bid! #JDM

Friend- "I was hoping you'd do it for $500!"
Me- oh, uh, can I charge an extra $50 for tools? I really want a nice sledgehammer."
Friend- "uh... What? Sledgehammer? Why do you... Y'know what, that's fine. As long as it's done this weekend."

I saw a young person ask ChatGPT how long their flight was today when they were literally holding the boarding pass with that information on it in the same hand that had the phone in it. ChatGPT spat out about 4 paragraphs on the subject when the answer was “40 minutes”. What a time to be alive

Edit: this blew up so I’m muting it now to save my notifications. No, I didn’t make it up for clicks, I’d have preferred fewer. Just a little anecdote from a tiring day that I’m trying to relax from now
