[LastPlaceComics] Hand Em Over

I guess the tape didn't hold, mirror fell off sometime during the car jackers time in the car.

Fantastic story, thanks so much for sharing

[danc4498@lemmy.world]

I’d be worried about it falling off and killing the people behind me…

[prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works]

Thank god he didn’t shit in the car.

I really thought that story was gonna go differently.

I had a Jetta. One of the least hoopty hoopties I’ve owned. But as the years went on and miles piled up, in typical VW fashion, the check engine light would come on for no reason. Would pull codes and nothing. But of course inspection would fail.

It hadn’t come on for a few months so I took it in for a 3rd time that month to renew reg (would reset after about 100 miles). Sitting there in the inspection lane, light winks on. I screamed at the dashboard and it blinked off. I stared in disbelief for a moment and it passed.

Thought it was a fluke but, no — any time it came on after that I would scream and it would turn off.

Tbh I didn't consider that he wasn't having a heart attack until your reply

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

The old comic trick of having a dotted outline to represent something that a character is noticing is missing would have been better.

[0ops@lemm.ee]

Firm agree

[bobs_monkey@lemm.ee]

My buddy had one of those things when we were in highschool, and his had all sorts of electrical gremlins and funky nuances. But I'll tell you what, most comfy car to hotbox ever. And with the size of that trunk, we could easily cruise around with 10 people. Best party-mobile ever.

At first I thought you were describing the Shit Mobile from Trailer Park Boys (Ricky's '75 New Yorker) but then it just got better and better.

[orderedchaos@lemmy.world]

I thought he got shot and now I realize he is noticing he lost his gun.

[lightfire228@pawb.social]

Maybe the light in the dash was shorting, causing the light to turn on on its own

And screaming was juuuust enough to cause the short to break connection?

It's either that or ghosts

[helloworld55@lemm.ee]

This is going to be lemmy history. Omg that was so funny

[dharmacurious@slrpnk.net]

Haha. That's amazing. It's one of my favorite stories. My family collect outlandish stories by way of poverty. Lmao

[kupi@sh.itjust.works]

Definitely Ghosts

[rubberelectrons@lemmy.world]

Incontrovertibly.

[pineapplelover@lemm.ee]

I feel so sorry for your bro

[pineapplelover@lemm.ee]

This is why I love lemmy.

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

My Jetta's engine just exploded into a fire ball one day going to work. Does that qualify as a "hoopty?"

[dharmacurious@slrpnk.net]

I texted him the clip of Peter Griffin locked in his car today, with the caption "Just a reminder that this is literally you"

He then called me just to say "fuck you very much" and hang up. Lmao
