If you consider the share of wealth per generation, the pull up the ladder sentiment is not entirely without merit. It’s not about left or right, it’s just math.

I really like avocado toast.  Not that it matters.

“Find a new car under the average.... Right now the only new cars significnatly under 20k are the base Kia Rio, base Hyundai Accent and base Nissan Versa.”

There is no chance in hell I would have spent 16k for a car when I made $25 an hour and there is no chance in hell I will ever take a 60 month loan on a car. It will be underwater for most of the loan term. You need to live life always looking for the fire exits. An underwater loan is nothing but serious trouble…

If you are making shitty money, buy a shitty car. It’s not fair, but it’s reality. I had some incredibly shitty cars when I was in my twenties. I got one in a trade for a TV. I got the TV because a room mate was short on rent one month. Whole cost for the car $300. It lasted a year and I sold it for $500 when it…

I was very close to grabbing an electric mini cooper for school runs and groceries.  I am second guessing not pulling the trigger on that before the incentives changed.  It was as close as you can get to an invisible EV that’s not a truck or CUV.

As much as I am not a Musk fan...I can’t see grabbing this over the Model 3.  

We are all on a sexual spectrum from Straight to Bi to homo to A to Hyper and whatever other bullshit label people will feel the need to invent and inhabit. More than that, our experience within that spectrum is fluid. Our status changes constantly.

I said it like it was a good thing?

My son is that age.  I can’t imagine...

I know!!!! If the Democrats and Republicans (they were in this together with the Masons!) had not stepped in we wouldn’t have stupid Buicks any more.*

I once saw a Democrat beat up a girlscout for trying to sell cookies outside of the government mandated sales window. Obummer nixed any chance we had at year round cookies when he seized control with his massive government overreach “Patriot Act.” Apparently, the Democrats super secret baby smoothie program began…

This is how GM has worked for decades. A Buick is a Chevy with a little nicer leather a GMC is a Chevy with more Chrome and maybe an available engine upgrade.  Nothing here is interesting or new.  This allows GM to license more dealerships for what is essentially the same vehicle in the same zip code.  Badge…

Why not?

You are giving bad advice. You know how differentials work, right? At any given time depending on your AWD system only one wheel is receiving power, possibly two and you have no idea which wheel or wheels those are. I am sure your google search was great and I am sure I can find somebody on google who thinks I can…

“I’ve always found it a huge advantage when slowing down in very slick conditions. Particularly on ice and where you have to contend with hills. If you’re reading the road ahead of you well, you can slow down to a crawl just by downshift “

The biggest issue is Truck Guy ego disorder. Follow that with truck guy “I have 4wd so I don’t need snow tires” disorder. Add a dose of terrible truck driving dynamics (bad COG, light in the back = squirrelly during cornering and braking) and you have ditches just begging for trucks to visit.

I am not sure the 2.5" of extra clearance Cross Trek gets you is a significant help. If you are plowing snow with your bumper because the plows haven’t been out the extra clearance over a WRX is not likely to get you a whole lot farther, you are hosed either way. The thing is these are rare scenarios. If you are…

If you learn to drive a manual in a late model Mini, you are going to be stunned when you get in a normal car. The new Mini’s clutch is the most fool proof I’ve ever driven. It uses the start stop system to bail you out if you clutch late and stall it. It just fires itself back up before you even know you made a…

ND all day long.
