This explains a lot about my life.

I would replaced the word break down with vandalized.

/Aquarius
//Dates Libras

The mods must be bored this Sunday evening. Bring on the "my car is better than your car" people.

The trollbait is getting a little obvious, dear farkadmins.

Everyone knows Ford is the King of Breakdowns.

And we have our first taker!

"You're a Libra, aren't ya darling?"

/testing if nothing is obscure on Fark...

Fukking great. Now people I know who believe in astrology are going to start citing new media reports of this study as proof that it's real.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind having some of those "lucky pants."

Libras are good in the sack.

Chevys?

In other news, Astrology is Bullshiat. (new window)

It had to be one of the signs eh

I hold passionate and tenacious grudges against everyone who believes in astrology.

/Scorpio

29 years without a breakdown, but Ive never owned a chevy.

Fapinator: Fukking great. Now people I know who believe in astrology are going to start citing new media reports of this study as proof that it's real.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind having some of those "lucky pants."

The only lucky pants are no pants at all.

/Drunk. I am drunk. And not wearing pants.
//Pants are the enemy

Don't forget, having a Libra ascendant is about the same (perhaps even more intense) than having a Libra sunsign.

That means an additional 1/12th of you or so is prone to car breakdowns.

Not to mention a Libra moon.

Should have bought a toyota. The only good american car these days.

I am a Taurus, so my Ford Taurus that's currently at the mechanics is getting a kick out of these replies.

I'm a Libra,so I'm gettin' a kick....

Bought an '80 E-150 in '85,it finally died in '97 with 289,000 miles on it.

Well, that's at least ONE statistic that I fit for my sign but at the same time I suspect there are more Libras born than other signs because the time of conception is right around Xmas/New Years when everyone is staying home and celebrating the holidaze. At least in the northern hemisphere. I could be wrong but I do know more Libras than any other sign, and it's not by selection, especially since I don't buy the whole astrology thing in the first place.

Nemo's Brother: Libras are good in the sack.

Yes, we are.

/attention whoring off

palad: And we have our first taker!

Yeah, I like to give smug "I don't own a tv" guys like you a reason to believe you're superior, you're welcome.

I'm a Pisces with three Libra sisters. Pisces are less likely to break down because most of us take care of our business better which translates into taking care of our possessions.

My Libra sisters are all self absorbed, can't handle money and expect the world to revolve around them. So yes, they are more likely to end up broken down on the side of the road because they spent their money on frivolous things.


/I hate my sisters
//They waste oxygen
///Only Virgos are worse

believe

And statistics also say that if you pick 12 people at random 1 will be the oldest.

Don't want the raggedy
The cheap and the shoddy
I like to take good care of my body
When diet calls for a remedy
Who watches scales moreso than me?
Lib-lib-ah-Libra...

-Harvey Sid Fisher

I firmly believe that certain personality types are drawn to certain cars because Saturn Vues, Volkswagen Jettas, and big black pickup trucks are the three cars that piss me off all the time. Last week I almost hit three different brand new Vues whose owners were trying to do some complicated crap besides driving their cheap plastic pieces of shiate.

/Leo, Cancer rising
//05 Subaru Legacy GT LTD IS better than your car
///thanks, HMS_Blinken, that was hillarious.

I'm a Libra and I drive a Ford. Oh, and...

Nemo's Brother: Libras are good in the sack.

THIS!

Hah this is funny... I am a libra with a car that has been hit 3 times, had defective parts that took over a month to repair, and has begun to make odd noises from the engine, so I am really getting a kick out of these replies.

/bmw z4

This article is proof that most statistics are complete bullshiat.

/Just look at all the stupid political polls that come out before voting takes place.
//Astrology is just as stupid.

I like apples.

Do you like apples?

Apples are good.

/ This thread must be even better when you actually PAY for TotalFark.
// Only Toyota owners are that dumb!
/// Couldn't help but join the stupidity march.

/Libra
//Ford (love my hybrid)
//Come find out about the sack ;-)

czarangelus: The argument of astrology is not that the stars control your life directly. The argument of astrology is the mechanisms of the Heavens reflect the mechanics that govern human lives, and so the conditions of the Heavens are therefore intrinsically connected to the conditions of human life. The movement of stars in the Heavens are the gigantic cogs, human lives are the little gears, and put together the whole thing makes a rational system that allows you to make certain predictions.

When you are born, the nurse standing over your mother exerted more force on you than any heavenly body. I suppose that I'm a Dr. Anders, with Nurse Jones in the ascendant.

This is the most important thing I've read all day-- nay, all YEAR.

That Jodie Kidd is relatively attractive, except, she's doing that "I'm fat and in pictures" thing where she hides part of her face with her hand or hair (YES, we are wise to these shenanigans!) to make her jaw look less Neanderthal-ish.

Alright, I admit it. I hated this because I am jealous; I am infuriated that someone got paid to write this shiat. Real, actual moneys. Probably far, far more than I make for an equal amount of time's work. Excuse me while I go drink myself into oblivion and try desperately to think of a way to Photoshop some expression of my angst.

This is how Scorpios roll

I believe it.

/Libra.

TX-Law, does it have a Rick in it?

Nemo's Brother: Libras are good in the sack.

Because they have to fark people with working vehicles to give them rides to places.

I, the libra, have had no trouble, requiring a tow, out of my Chevy.

/At least she says her B-day was June 1st.
//She's also a pathological liar.

I don't buy it, but... it's funny cause my friend's car broke down yesterday and I had to go pick her up. She's a Libra, and she drives a blue car.

The real moral of that story is that Volkswagens are shiat.

Chris P. Bacon: 29 years without a breakdown, but Ive never owned a chevy.

I could say the same thing, if I hadn't owned a couple Fords over the years. Don't get me wrong I liked my Ford trucks. Too bad every time one of them broke down it cost a bloody frigging fortune in parts.

Chevy has never left me sitting anywhere.
Ford on the other hand was always a gamble, usually a losing one.

Since no one else is going to weigh in on the obvious troll, I'll get it out of the way.

Chevy's do not currently suck.
Ford's do not suck, mostly.
Dodge sucks except for Chargers.

My picks:

Old school rod? Chevy all the way.
Brand new car ? Import (sad, I know)
SUV? Chevy

astrology = chiropractic

Libra here, My first car was a 1996 Chevy Cavalier, it ran like crap and the ABS brakes sucked but didn't break down and die on me. The second car I owned was a 2000 Nissan Sentra and my current car is a 2007 Nissan Sentra. Not sure if that puts me above Chevy status or not.

HERE we go-- something of journalistic MERIT! Over in the right-hand margin was bait for THIS article...



With all the integrity of TFA, they also produced a photoshop experiment-- "can you make this old biatch look ugly, then even uglier?" "How will you make it relevant?" "We'll tell the reader, 'You're drinking yourself UGLY.'"

_{I accidently replaced the "m" with an HTML sensitive charachter}

My ex, the gemini, was the one with the habit for buying ford trucks that were always on their last legs.

I, the libra, have had no trouble, requiring a tow, out of my Chevy.

/At least she says her B-day was June 1st.
//She's also a pathological liar.

I'm a libra. My Beetle's constantly in the shop. 1,000k miles left on warranty. Pray for me.

Capricorns like myself don't own cars. We pragmatically commandeer other people's vehicles, utilize them responsibly and return them to their rightful owners, gas tank full, in a timely fashion.

Or maybe I'm just a mooch.

Nemo's Brother: Libras are good in the sack.

True.

AndyChrist_NZ: TX-Law, does it have a Rick in it?

No, but if you see an El Camino, there's always a 50% chance there is a date rapist named Rick driving it.

Oh, and VW's are nice to look at but are a vortex of suck. I worked at a VW dealer and every day the service lot was FILLED with VW's. The three other makes of cars sold there made up less than 10% of repair work.

And yet, VW owners are rabid fans for some reason. They'll never go back. It staggers the imagination.

The only exception to this is the $100,000 VW Phaeton W12, which is a Bentley with VW badges. Made in the same factory, even. But then if you buy one, you still spent $100k on a volkswagen.
