2nd Gear: How do we know Mexico is doing well? The peso had been in a downward spiral since oil went full glut a couple of years back, dropping from 13 to 18 pesos to the dollar. Trump’s election victory and threat of taxing remittances to Mexico to pay for the wall caused another drop, to as low as 22 pesos to the…

Kettler is the production partner? The people who make those tricycles with the handle on the back, a.k.a. the remote control for when your kid if first learning to trike?

In that case, they should put a digger on this thing:

If your parents ever told you not to talk about money or flash your wealth around

Use tax, I believe is a common term for only paying taxes on the capitalized amount (sales price - residual) for an auto lease.

I’d bet most haven’t even cracked the damn thing open once, even after the hooker leaves the cheap motel and the TV reception is bad and it’s sitting right there next to them inside the end table drawer.

It has been happening and it happens virtually everywhere in the country, even in good, old, blue Massachusetts where the state forked over $400 million in incentives for GE to move its corporate headquarters from Connecticut to the Boston area.

But that still doesn’t make it right. In the Toyota case, it’s corporate…

El Gauquero?

Isn’t Texas’s income tax rate zero?

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

For the love of all that is holy and unholy, can you please stop judging deals on tool sets by the price per tool. These are marginal-quality tools, useful for the apartment dweller who pretty much leaves this under the bed all but a couple of times a year.

Find the deals on the Wera, Armstrong and other high-quality,…

Maybe...The “reasonable” part would be the subject of debate.

It’s a joke. No harm intended. Peace.

Perhaps I was unclear, but selling, buying or having those cameras has nothing to do with how they are used. See: firearms, as an extreme example of things that are legal, but have limited legal uses.

Fair enough, but I was making a point about how they are used, not their existence. As far as audio goes, most states are in fact one-party states. I think 37 or 38 states only require one party of a two-part conversation to know that the conversation is being recorded. Of course, recording somebody else’s voice while…

Check your state laws. Being recorded without your consent, implied or explicit is a no go in most instances. But there are distinctions between video only and video with audio; and there are definitely distinctions about bathrooms and (sometimes) bedrooms. And, you are correct, there are distinctions between public…

This is exactly my point.

Hmm....hidden cameras that you don’t know about in places where privacy is normally expected, like, say a bathroom, are not necessarily legal. If there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, along with no implied consent (your act of walking into a store that clearly displays signage saying, “Smile, you thieving…

Much better than running out of juice in Death Valley. Or somewhere in South Dakota.

Starred, but please don’t tell my wife.
