This whole thing sounds like a drug deal waiting to go bad. CP

But I am at the north end of the mall with all of these shopping bags. We can just run out to the car and drive to Neiman’s at the south end. After all, Neiman’s has valet.

While it is a wagon with a stick, it is a VAG product with 250K miles. Remember, there is no such thing as cheap, used, and German. CP!!!

Sorry Red, but my 2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited drops both outside mirrors if you have the mirror adjustment set to either side and the gear selection is reverse. If you don’t like the feature, put the switch for the mirror control in the center. Combined with the backup camera and rear parking distance beeper, it gets

He may be gay. He may be a Rhodes scholar. He may be an Ivy Leaguer. He is also from the McKinsey mold. I have seen too many MBAs with “top consulting firms” to know they are little more than addicts from the dope of Friedman. In spite of his mild mannered appearance, he is EVIL by association.

All these comparisons to BMW and quality. At least the turn signals on my Hyundai work consistently...

Nope, they just have to insert a mandatory binding arbitration/ no class action clause into the purchase agreement. Those pesky lawsuits will cease.

So did I ($12/hr) in 1981! See what return to the shareholder has done for middle class wages.

It doesn’t feel so rare when an old family friend died of it earlier this year in Northern Florida. As you said mosquito protection is especially important.

The engine is filthy. While that may not be an issue for others, it tells me someone is careless or there is a lubricant leak of some sort. Then there is the telltale K&N sticker. That’s probably good for at least 30 HP. The stock SC was not the easiest thing to drive fast. German, questionable swaps, old...total

Save your money and buy an NA. Finding a rust free example may be difficult up north, but in Florida they’re still pretty easy to find. Recently bought a ‘92 with 89K miles on a long nose 1.6l. The short nose has a different crank/Woodruff key setup which is not as reliable. When we got it it had a bit of lifter

I take a WAG. You have a wheel speed sensor with an intermittent fault. I’m surprised you wouldn’t get an ABS light at the same time.

The mass retirement is starting. Only it’s not voluntary. Older workers are being pushed out the door. Finding a tech job at 50 is hard enough, at 62 it’s harder. Ageism is illegal. Ageism is rampant. The reduction in stress and BS compensates for the lower retirement funds.

I went to a public engineering school. I graduated in 1981. The instate tuition since then has increased over 16 fold. If starting salaries had climbed at the same rate, the would be over $390K per year. Instead they are between $65-$70k. The educational system was corrupted for profit.

and to think they obviously have no idea of the origins of “This Land”. One wonders if Guthrie is spinning in his grave or laughing his ass off at their ignorance.

Cheap, used, German...does not compute

I still find it astounding that people ignore the collection of data by the credit reporting agencies and the various FANG companies. Even though the government can purchase this information, I think that if government was the source and holder of the info, people would freak out.

Why would an elderly lady in Sarasota put a front plate on a car in a state that doesn’t have front plates? Especially something that required four horizontal holes. The carrier for the Jazzy mobility chair is always on the rear of the car.

And cost-cutting sometimes means job cutting.
