Trust me, you don’t want the coop, especially if you have kids. It takes forever to recover the initial coop costs. The kids won’t let you turn the non producing chickens into coq au vin and you end up with a coop full of non egg producing chickens with names like “Pepper” and “Mr Clucksalot” (yeah chickens are…

I hit no based on the headline and didn’t even look at the article.

“As far as only buying premium cars?? I don’t need the ego piece for a daily driver and I often check to see if a normy car will make me happy for the day to day.” Your words.

Wow...You could have written “I didn’t understand your post” in far fewer words.

Great truck.

“They have every incentive to pad the rate if you come in fat, dumb, and happy. And really, why should they work for free?”

Yep.

Uh….

Comrade Брюки неудачника,

I am pretty sure rising interest rates are what’s allowing the lots to fill.  People got used to cheap money.  The sort of person who has been buying the last two years, either desperately had to buy, or doesn’t have the best financial judgement.  The second group, the sorts who trade in cars with 72 month loans after…

My credit score lurks around 830 and my debt to income ratio is around 10%. I don’t need to get ducks in a row. I just need to hear the dealers lowest offer and make a quick call or two. I’ll have financing in under an hour.

My local lots are filling up and the gougy price bumps are disappearing. If there is a car recession I might have to buy a car in the most vengeful and insufferable way possible.

My local Honda and Toyota dealerships are terrible. They both are gouging while they still can and they both would rather sell bad finance packages than cars.

Don’t tell anybody…But I didn’t enjoy either Top-Gun that much. No hate or anything, but they’re a bit cheesy for me (great balls of fire scenes make me cringe). I’m glad they bring people joy though. I do like a lot of his other stuff. And I have friends in the business of making movies that say he’s super…

Clarkson’s farm was an interesting watch, I am not sure that he should be done. But he and everybody else would be well served if he quit with his inept, desperately controversial hot takes.

I think this guy is an absolute ball of kookery, but I enjoy his movies. He is clearly terrified of aging gracefully and fights it with every significant resource at his disposal.

You are correct Car-Max will not be paying anything close to what Carvana paid. That’s how it works when distressed companies dump inventory. Typically it happens at a bankruptcy auction. But…I have seen companies fire sale significant assets to try to create liquidity and pay creditors so they can try to avoid…

Basically Musk already left Tesla and the impact has already happened.  Getting him off the books might calm investors and stop the bleeding.

15-35% is such a disingenuous way of presenting how the industry is faring. But even with that approach Tesla is way behind even the worst of the others. 16% more losing is billions of dollars of more losing. And I really don’t see the stock recovering to previous highs. It had an inflated value based on being the…

“oh man, this rational take is NOT going to be well received here. but i’ll give you a star without verifying anything.”
