It’s not even the absolute average that is being looked at; it’s the average of an AVERAGE annual salary. It’s a really odd percentage to look at as there’s no overall segmenting of individuals that say could be purchasing a car that make a sizable income as opposed to those that are in a sub-prime situation. All the…

Someone did something similar to this where I live. In the more affluent part of town there is a small strip mall that has a Barnes & Noble, a Pets Mart, and prior to closing a Toys R Us (it’s now a Trader Joe’s, with the portion not Trader Joe’s still under for lease). I drove by there one day and someone had landed…

To be fair, why would Rockstar even bother with another GTA release with how popular the GTA V online element remains? Sure it was a mess at first, but Rockstar makes dollars hands over fists with GTA V online.

It was a really dumb feature in hindsight, but my 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, along with it’s Talon and Laser brothers, had it’s shoulder belts automatically move when you opened and closed the door with the key in the ignition. You get in the car, insert the key (or removed it), and the belt moved along a track to the B…

It happens a lot though.

I can *get* why individuals would buy one of these. Singer effectively doesn’t leave a nut or bolt un-turned, and the Porsche 911 market is really ridiculous as it is and individuals want something uniquely for them. As much as people may not like it or understand it there is a lot to be said about modern exclusivity,…

She’s on her way to her next mistake.

I actually sold my house and moved my family into a loft. I REALLY considered the ups and downs of doing so.

That is not a good excuse whatsoever. There are individuals out there that could lend their services in both language and social studies fields, and it would have helped tremendously basing anything in the world off of Asian influences. Something like time shouldn’t also be a factor as the game wasn’t made in a few…

Not really a trigger warning, but more it’s what drivers should be doing in all situations.

The taillights being from a Ford Thunderbird make me think about all the boomer posts when the C7 was revealed and it lost it’s round taillights to those “Camaro” taillights. You would have thought that all hell broke loose that a Corvette no longer had round taillights (and they all seemed to have forgotten 1953-1960…

That’s sadly most all Corvette “buyers”. If it’s not a Harley, it’s a 2009 truck with 180,000 miles on it.

Reading through the comments all I have to say is that I’m quite flabbergasted by the astronomical amounts of individuals out there that often roll in multiple negative equities into subsequent vehicle purchases. It’s bad enough to have to do it once, but having to get on a second and third go around is just insane…

There’s SO MUCH you can do with $6,000. In 2019 I took a 10 day trip to Japan, and the international air fare, travel when I was there (rail passes and bullet train passes), food, experiences, souvenirs - literally every single cost for the entirety of the trip - came out to ~$5,400. That was with my wife and I…

Aircraft are full of duct tape, or “speed tape.” It’s actually used in large quantities on the exterior to fill seams and gaps in panels for the aero and is periodically used to auxiliary secure items that are rattling or similarly jostling around. If you’ve ever flown on a plane there’s likely been plenty of duct…

I posted about it a while back in another conversation but my father was an abusive alcoholic that near always drank (he literally drank himself to death with liver cirrhosis). He constantly got DUIs and was near never arrested for it or simply let go. One event I remember in particular was when my brother and I were…

I’m going to say that evil word that I always say when there’s talk about costs and basically whatever-F1.

Ford seems to be making several mistakes here

Your point is largely due to the US dealership model. I see this all the time in the Corvette community. You can “order” a car all you want through the build process, however ultimately a dealer can renege on the price if it’s a model that they believe they could get more money off of with some lot retention. Think of…

I played the game right around when it came out for a few hours, dropped it, and recently decided to get back into it. I’ve been avoiding the gacha system like the plague. I get it’s ultimately what makes the game tick, but you can tell that there is some purposeful titillation that gives you the chance to win…
