When will she hit the big 600? Before the end of this year? This time next year? Split the difference to spring 2019?

Law of diminishing returns has to start to play in at this point as the resting calories needed to gain goes up as the pygmy hippo gets bigger and bigger, right?

Can't bring myself to watch these the last few months, so thanks to all the subforum's committed point by point recap members in here with us in the sweat-box subforum.

Anything over 1000 miles a month is considered above average for a vehicle, a three year old vehicle should then be around 36,000 total miles, yes that car is over-driven by around a factor of four times too much for its age.

What is this idiot's rationale for eating a banana when she doesn't like them?

It's fruit, hence healthy. I suspect bananas are her go-to because they tend to be very sweet.

That's alot for a 5'2"-5'3" woman.

I could be wrong, but seeing Becky inside the car - like when she puts her elbow out the window - I think she's shorter than that.

They obviously go over the weight limit all the time, since there's times when Eric/Rickie/Becky's relatives are in the car too, so...what's the consequences from repeatedly doing that?

Amber told some of those consequences already - the car's gearbox broke a few months ago, and after that they had to get new tires and the wheels realigned. There is also the vacation video where Becky stops to check a "noise" in the car and Amber finds out Becky put duct tape under the bumper on the passenger side because it's been scrapping the ground.
I don't think we're going to hear Amber mention anything about the suspension because they both are ignorant about car maintenance, but I bet it's gone already.

Applying simple laws of physics, I can infer that the engine has to work harder for the car to start moving, and so do the brakes (inertia ftw!). Weight limits are put in place not only to get the longest life on the parts I mentioned above, but because the chassis will only take so much abuse before the metal breaks.

Not wearing sun block and increasing your risk for skin cancer is so cute!

Amber doesn't need to worry about skin cancer. Morbidly obesity will kill her way before that happens.

I think the real question about her car is which is going to happen first: the car collapses b/c of the weight of its passengers or AL is physically unable to fit in the car anymore.

I'm sure it's been said before, but when the time comes, I picture Becky trying in vain to shut the door as AL oozes out of the passenger side of the car, just like whiny-ass Kirsten from M600PL.

 
The car mileage is a really good example of how clueless they are.

Yes, its really high. But its how the mileage is put on the car that matters - a high mileage on a young car mostly from long trips combined with good service history can get you a winner if you look after it. Here, they're often ex-company cars and the clunkers are cleared out of the pool early. They're usually reliable models to start with, exchanged after three years and are fully serviced and maintained because keeping the fleet on the road is necessary. And long journeys are less taxing on an engine - the last car you want to buy second-hand is Mom's runabout that's got low mileage but its all from stop/start ten minute journeys.

However, you know the car lot saw these two behemoths bearing down on them, watched Amber do her ditzy routine then realised nope, she really IS that thick, and dragged out the unsellable clunker with no maintenance history other than Bodge & Scarper chucking some Radweld in occasionally. And, as stated, they are now doing predominantly short runs with a horrific imbalance of weight. If our gorl dips the front so low its scraping on even raised parts of the road, its a teensy cluette the car is being pushed beyond its limits. But we got duck tape; we good. Onwards to the Cheesecake Factory, beep beep.

I don't think Big Albert has any idea how expensive "her" car is going to turn out to be. Head gaskets, exhausts, shocks, batteries, brakes, tyres....they're all things that count as wear n tear. And then there's the damage they're doing that CAN'T be repaired - that engine is working hard and they aren't doing anything, just loading down the front unevenly; every time they get in it I imagine the front wheels doing a comedy splay as a tongue flops out of the grille. The back tyres will probably last forever, they're barely on the road.

And the very best bit. If they break down and need to call a tow-truck, Amber will never be able to get in it nor would she fit - the passenger benches are way too narrow. Poor ole beanbag will be left reeeeeing on the side of the road.
 
Didn't AL claim a couple of videos ago that "Becky has only gained 10 pounds since we've been together." ?

Some of the nicer looking cars one might find came from car rental places. The problem with those cars is that no one knows who drove them and how bad a driver the people who rented them out are.

Independent of who owned the car before they did, we have to remember Amber was involved in the decision, and Amber is all about the looks (and knows NOTHING about cars).

Also, the old lady car that was kept in a nice garage and only taken out once a week to drive a block or two away is the biggest red flag ever. It isn't that hard to turn an odometer back.
