Car Buying

From Portlandia s04e05

[@derekderek2570]

"I'm a home owner" omg this show was beyond its time. 🤣🤣🤣

[@ThirtyYearstoolate]

Drive around Portland. Lots of these homes, parked illegally.

[@Ninjamohawk]

In Portland? Yeah this is a homebuying situation.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

Nothing is ever beyond its time. Societies are just stupid and fearful until it comes back to viscously bite them in the ass. Then they change to what people had expected or wanted for ages. 😂 then we rinse and repeat.

[@blackmagevivi69]

I say this for every situation

[@johnragmailcom]

Because Portland is ahead of the curve when it comes to CHAOS.

[@GoatDust]

gary an abomination that partially led to the failure of a car company.

[@lehighguy]

1996 Saab 9000 Aero 4-door hatchback in Sky Blue Metallic. It's kind of ironic that they chose this to be the "boring" car, since the Aero was the top-end, high-performance trim. In fact, there are Saab collectors who'd probably want this car. The Aero models are fairly rare.

"Some boring number" is next level selling tactics

[@runi5413]

That's probably how the guy ended up buying a 2002 Saab for $12,345.67

[@BuzzGarwood]

I came to the comments just to see how quickly someone highlighted the line: “Some boring number.” Genius line.

[@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat]

I was thinking 5. Five is the maybe the boringest number. It's almost as conformist as 10, but without any of 10's flash.

[@BuzzGarwood]

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Exactly! I mean, how pretentious is 10…!? Ten’s always like, “Ooh, look at me, I’m so cool.” 5 is like, “Just stop.”

Y'know, this car is the default setting. And then one guy was like, 'we should put some wipers on the headlights'. That guy got fired.

I have thought it would be funny to drive a car that was an old beater on the outside and was luxurious on the inside.

I dunno...pretty accurate for Portland...even before the homeless crisis...

[@msreedaran89]

This happened in my life... to a friend 😉

[@Trixter1771]

Yep... That was the joke

[@typedrew]

As an ex car salesman. You’d be surprised how often this makes sense. They describe what they need. I point them at the exact right car for their needs and in the price range. But they don’t like something about it. After looking at the wrong stuff for an hour or two. Right back at the one I knew worked best and they take it home.

[@marxvadar2614]

I can't ever get past how Carrie's dude-bro character just sounds like a woman who is possessed by some kind of eldritch demon from another dimension.

[@cryptidproductions3160]

I think they actually downpitched her voice in post because she couldn't get as deep as they wanted and it's a side-effect of that

[@beezertwelvewashingbeard8703]

Like Elizabeth Holmes?

[@Qrayon]

I totally thought that was a guy!

[@deadliestvice5356]

As opposed to an Eldritch demon from our dimension.

[@jimmyredd]

When you think about it, men are just women possessed by the Y chromosome.

[@punchultimate]

I love how so much of Portlandia just seems like Fred and Carrie messing with each other during takes. Like that whole dance be does after getting the keys. No way was that scripted.

[@ripelivejam]

He'a a rudeboy!

[@JoeyJojoJrJr]

Yeah...kind of makes Portlandia hard to watch for more than an episode or two at a time.

[@spicygal8564]

Literally me

[@SweetPappyJones]

Ditto. Once I saw it wasn’t just glorifying the PNW but also spoofing it, I fell in love.

[@jimmyredd]

The ad campaign for this show sucked. The old bumper commercials on IFC with them just standing around while the theme played, combined with the show's name, made it look like indie hipster drivel. I avoided it for years because of those. I didn't even realize it was a comedy lol

if i showed this to my Swedish grandpa, who worked for Saab for decades, he would literally murder me.

[@Inthatgoodway]

[@gnussyflarkin]

Did he put the wipers on the lights?

[@peterbelanger4094]

Subaru's are actually more common in Portland.

[@dengueberries]

@@gnussyflarkin He did! He also wiped my butt from time to time. But yeah those wipers were great in snowy Sweden when you wanted to avoid hitting elk and reindeer with your car.

[@andraenicholson3557]

At first this show was a *satire* of the same 3 kinds of hipster you found in Portland in the 90s. But as the Bay Area started pouring into Portland like a bathtub drain... Portlandia became a documentary about the cartoon people living in the city.

[@peterbelanger4094]

And then the people in Portland saw the show and interpreted it as advice, rather than satire, and it all got 1000x worse.
