Yep, luckily, I rarely deal with 695 during rush hour anymore but it is a mess more than it was. I maybe went over the FSK bridge twice in my 11 years living here? But it has definitely messed up the tunnels and west side more than before and if there is a crash around one of them at rush hour? It gets REALLY bad.

80%? Is it a credit union? My 130% is from captive finance arm, so they have a want to get deals done. Obviously, a lot of variables into taking a deal with over 100% LTV. My last loan on a car was 100% LTV (used car) and an unsecured loan through LightStream, but that was 8 years ago now.

Yea, that is what I have been looking at too. It just gets hard to pick. Because I was looking at 500's, then I’m thinking, “well the 55 is cooler and more power, but the 550 is more and hey, look at the 63!”

I will never understand this broad, “let’s help the criminal” thought process. People that think stealing from a corporation or whatever is a victimless crime are just plain dumb.

So where is the cutoff that makes it OK to steal from others? I make more than the average US family a year, is it OK for someone to break into my house and steal my stuff or rob me? 

Sad to say it. But, Tesla is already a $1tn auto maker.

Those are two, also MB/Audi and BMW have a decent amount of 4 seat ‘verts to choose from. Just need to figure out how attached to the 60's retro part this person is. That makes it much harder.

I feel like this is also relatively my ask for a car. But I am pretty much set on a CLK ‘vert in 550/55/63 guise. Now, I just need to pull the trigger. This is a tough ask though, not a ton of options, but also, the suggestions here are not great.

Depends on where and when you are going, but overall, not great. I live in NE Bmore and almost never took the FSK bridge. But with the tunnels for 95/895 it is now a mess, depending on the day/time. Also, now that the bridge doesn’t exist, all hazmat trucks need to take 695 via the west side as they can not be in the…

Yea, that reminds me that going into the new year I really need to adjust my contribution to get closer to my max 401k.

Better value for your money? Sure, if you are looking at buying. But if you need a ride for cheap, the lease deals on these are hard to beat and for someone that doesn’t do a ton of driving, 240 miles of range is plenty. These two vehicles (and I am sure a few other EV’s) are the perfect vehicle for older people.

While I could see people voting NP, I went ND. There is almost no price I would pay for one of these. People love them, but I don’t get it. There isn’t anything great about them and for $10k, I am looking elsewhere. 

Though I am not intimately involved in this part of the business, I have heard 130% LTV is kind of the ceiling. Now, there are other factors at play such as income and credit score and things like that, but I can see a decent amount of lenders doing this is the other factors paint a “they can pay” picture. 

It is because people do the base minimum on budgeting work. I make $X/month, so I can spend $x/month. Just pretending like wages don’t go away or nothing bad will ever happen.

I am a fan of DST. I love getting that extra hour of sleep and evening (AKA fun party time!) once a year and the other time change doesn’t really bother me.

That unfortunately very much depends. Depends on what he owes money on and loans and a bunch of other stuff. Sure, he may have sold $17bn worth of stock, but if that is to payoff stuff, he may not have much any more.

Yep, heard they can take artillery shells too!

So, one to boat in and one for the anchor, that is an extra 50% in sales!

Don’t forget, it can work as a boat, replace all the Navy ships with CyberJunk!

If only they had 4 seats, it would be perfect...
