I think at least 70% of the cars on this list were incredible bargains. The sellers picked the absolute worst venue; all the bidders were there to buy 6-7 figure cars. Most of these cars would have brought 50-100% more money on C&B or BaT.

That legendary Pontiac 3.5l V8, known for definitely existing. 

Isn’t Detroit kind of the perfect storm of everything that makes insurance expensive? High crime, mandatory unlimited PIP, high density with a lot of accidents.

Correct. Trump said China would pay the tariffs, but the dumbfuck doesn’t realize those costs are ultimately passed on to the consumer. And apparently the MAGAmorons believed him. I’m sure one of his advisors told him this, but he never corrected his statement because he’s never wrong. About anything. 

When he picked Vance, Trump was pretty sure he was going to win the election. And so was everyone else, because Biden was being portrayed as an addled old fart in a tailspin.

A family friend of mine for over 60 years, whose car only seems to turn right anymore, called me one day about something and he says, thinking it’s some really smart observation, “How come Obama didn’t do so and so about Covid?”. He wanted to hang up when I gave him the bulletin that Obama wasn’t president when Covid…

A tariff increases the cost to the consumer, not the cost to the producer. It creates inflation in the price of goods.

Yes, there’s the Repub tactics with the Dems—no matter how stupid the attack is, no matter how nonsensical it is given no cause-and-effect relationship, go ahead and blame the Dems anyway. See what sticks.

More like the shallow end of the gene pool.

I’m sure that Trump has advisors that gave him much better suggestions, but my guess is that he wanted Vance for exactly who he is - for his incompetence. Trump is so narcissistic that I just can’t imagine him being able to handle a running mate like like Rubio or Tim Scott, who aren’t much better than Vance but can…

Bold of you to assume someone taking that deal would have gap coverage in their insurance.

I think people are good at forgetting that we tend not to have to spend our every waking hour going “am I being played” precisely because we have decent laws on the books that protect us from ourselves. For instance, I don’t have to look up and research every goddamned ingredient in every food I buy, or check that the…

Bizarre take. Do you work at a dealer or something? Presumably slinging Altimas to single moms at a 29% APR with the intention to repossess them later.

No dislike here. The system is absolutely set up to allow people to take advantage of financial illiterates. Car salespeople specifically are trained to distract from the total price and only talk about payments, making damn sure not to mention that those payments will continue for the better part of a decade.

“Just needs.” There’s no such thing as just needs. If it just needs a $300 freon charge do it and ask for $500 more. But you know it’s not that. It needs a $1,500 in compressor/clutch/lines work. If it just needs an 02 sensor to pass inspection, buy the $50 thing and put it in. But you know it’s not that. It needs…

“A/C needs a re-charge” = “Add another $1000 to replace the A/C compressor, lines, condenser and everything else related to the system.”

“In great condition, just needs. . . *lists a dozen weekend projects* . . . parts are in the trunk, easy fix, just haven’t had time to install them.”

When the owner is too lazy, too whatever to spiff up his wheels. A filthy carpet, fogged headlights, struts that no longer hold up the hatch—if the owner can’t be bothered to address the obvious issues with his vehicle, what’s wrong with the rest of the turdmobile? Oil last changed 15,000 miles ago? Last time the…

I live in up/mid-state NY. Which is basically just Appalachia with a different accent. So, I’m unfortunately well-versed in the insanity of these folks. I guess when you have a total lack of education and critical thinking skills you gravitate towards the people who allegedly think and talk like you and reject the…

This election is wild. On one side you have two completely rational, intelligent human beings who seem to genuinely want to steer the country on the right path. On the other side you have two bloviating lunatics who cozy up to dictators, want women’s value to be determined by the amount of children they have, and have…
