I am 100% certain he drove it at least once, the time he backed it into a parking bollard.

Exactly. Does higher gas prices really effect me and my commutes? It's annoying but my newer than 2018 car gets 25 MPG. I pay less than $40 at the pump.
Who does gas prices really hurt, the guys who drive pickup trucks for work, the people who drive minivans, your Uber drivers trying to survive on the Gig Economy.
But I'm being shortsighted because you know what else needs gas? Our truckers who move the groceries we eat from distribution centers to our supermarkets. If you haven't paid attention the price of groceries have gone way up in the last 6 months. Here's a Bloomberg article.

Today's a good day for Bri! Someone screenshoted Wu's re-twit and it makes round around modern-software-critical subs.

Community full of white supremacists and anti-vaxers all operating under the auspices of a scummy corporation - exactly the kind of consooming that John "loves dearly". All in the service of the people.

Hey a broken clock is right twice a day, yes it's absolute horseshit that exercise equipment would stop functioning as exercise equipment unless you pay its monthly fee. And I personally can't understand how Peloton can justify charging $40 a month when it's so cheap to produce online content.
I like that Brianna has to tell us that yes Frank Wu is rich enough to see $480 go out of his checking account every year to keep his zombie partner is tip top shape. That's assuming that the Treadmill is actually used regularly and isn't just clutter like the Pinball Machine.

There was the one he drove for hundreds of miles with the oil light on, bricking the engine. I fully believe John was behind the wheel for that.

“Sure, the payout from the lawsuit over a child’s preventable death is why they’re shaking down their customers for every dollar, but I wouldn’t dare run outside. $39.99 to run in place is more affordable than the emotional taxation of getting catcalled by six construction workers every inch of each mile. Such is life.”

Things like this have made me disillusioned with Big Tech in general, to the point where I now feel like I'm an old fart when I'm younger than Johnny up there. So many of their products seem to be solutions looking for a problem. Does anyone really need a subscription-based treadmill/exercise bike? I completely fail to see the value in shelling out a couple thousand for the equipment itself, and then $40 a month for "classes" that I wouldn't be surprised to find are all pre-recorded. And now that they won't even let you turn the damn thing on without forking over your monthly tithe...it's just mind-boggling.
A standard treadmill or exercise bike costs a few hundred bucks. A regular bike can be purchased for a couple hundred. Good running shoes will run you less than a hundred. None of these will continue to require you to shell out more money every month to keep using them, and all can be bought for a combined price that's less than the cost of a Peloton (whose cheapest option is $1900 before you start factoring in the subscription).
If John actually cared, he'd cancel his sub and get rid of the bike that's probably been gathering dust for months anyway. But flexing Frank's wealth is more important, so he'll continue to fund these anti-consumer practices while tweeting about how it's so terrible you guys. Expect him to completely forget about this within a couple weeks and return to blathering about how he's such a good athlete because his Peloton told him so.

I believe that was the Audi TT he bought from Mair's in Reading PA. It's a serious hike from east central Pennsylvania to the Boston suburbs, and to do it with the engine screeching for oil the entire trip wasn't at all conducive to the engine's ability to run.
Edit: As I recall there were a metric shit load of tweets about the TT and how amazing Flu's modding/mechanicking skill were, how the TT was going to be his spy car or some such nonsense. It stopped rather abruptly, I wonder what happened to the TT, was it traded for a Porch? Or is it sitting dead in the side yard like at their old place?

I'm sure this has been said before, but John certainly has a way of spending the most amount of money on a hobby while somehow achieving the least impressive results possible. This goes all the way from being a master "mechanic" to a being a "software engineer". I know a lot of people who like working on cars, but can do so on a shoestring budget by working on old Hondas or Subarus. John always buys extremely expensive equipment on Frank's dime that he has no idea how to make full use of. And insists that all the expensive shit that he owns is what makes him an expert on that particular subject.

John is a wealthy seven foot tall man who does not care about the "little people." Let them buy Porches.
John is a sucker for that kind of shit. I'm amazed he didn't buy a Juicero. He's the ultimate sucker for techbro nonsense, being a bro himself.

So deep and so true. This is why John Walker Flynt radiates only self-reflective positivity, dedicating his life to pursuing spiritual growth and lifting others up by immediately buying the latest video games and jacking off to the thought of buying even more luxury cars.

Ya know, if you took Frank's Charger, you could fit all that shit in a single run instead of having to make two trips. But I guess burning that extra gas is worth the vanity points.
As for the Peloton shit, after a bit of searching im still trying to figure out if it actually "bricks" the treadmill. Just Run apparently includes metrics tracking. So if you dont use it does that mean you just lose the tracking?
John is quoted in multiple articles on the subject (of course referring to him as a "game developer" and "Congressional candidate"). I wonder how many outlets he spammed with his hot take.

You think the dog was shot by secret service cause it wouldn't stop mauling people?
Glad John can use his treadmill to continue drying his clothes while paying a subscription.

If that poor dog is anything to go by I have serious doubts about whether these gay fratbros actually do any serious laundry with the exception of some of Frank's shirts for work.
Things like Peleton and Juicero are just the current Zeitgeist of subscription financial milking be it gaming, medical treatment, software, etc and it is good that pushback is there.
Still I would have expected the Godzilla of Tech to have easily come up with a technical workaround to bypass the Firm software. For shame BriBri, for shame!
Better get back to wrecking overpriced pinball machines and traumatizing little children when out and about.

Look here retarded faggot, are you even working out if you aren't spending thousands of dollars on bleeding-edge technology to do so, you stupid fat fuck? Do you think a sexy supermodel body like John Walker Flynt's body comes cheap? Fuck off you fat shit.

There's only one reason that Parvenu John would use Frank's money to buy something as proletarian and vulgar as used exercise equipment. Specifically: it's not for exercising; it's for sniffing -- and licking.

Gotta love that changing price tag. Also, I'm not a genius, but $800 isn't 1/6th of $12,000
Gotta stop doing this, but,
The price of Johns treadmill changes from $700-$800, his cost, as well as $12,000-$20,000. I do like how john brings up "trade in value." I wouldn't pay a penny more for what he bought it for if he was selling. Not a chance. You just know he thinks it's worth $12,000-$20,000 and not the $700-$800 he bought it for.
First image says otherwise. I do like the anger john displays when someone essentially calls him poor lol.
I'd believe this. Given his ridiculous height, he's probably got massive stride and can do 7 mph easily.
Bet this is the only time he ever used it.
$20,000 pricetag apparently.
The thread was about his peleton bike. I find it odd he is considering buying a peleton treadmill when he already owns the amorphic priced lifefitness treadmill...
