Get a Ninja 250 in the meantime. Yes, it's tiny, but you can grab one for $1500 and sell it for the same (or more), and one good season of riding that will get you up to speed, pardon the pun.

LOL, nice username.

Does anyone actually live in this kind of shipping-crate-and-concrete house? The style is in lots of car ads but doesn't seem to exist outside of Archello articles.

Instead of leading with what you do, lead with who you help. As in, "Hi, my name is Bernard, and I help companies identify and make the best use of their key performance indicators and big data."

That's a dangerous approach, especially with kids. Kids learn manipulation from the experience of being manipulated (or observing it), and they'll quickly discover that you're willing to bargain or compromise. Then it becomes a battle of wills.

I wonder when quick-charge battery packs will be a thing.

I have genuine sympathy for anyone who relies exclusively on mobile data connections for wireless devices, indoors. Or, y'know, anyone with a laptop and no wifi.

...sigh. It was already established that it was a joke.

Pontiac could easily slot above Chevrolet and below Cadillac as a premium performance brand. They could even cook up something to compete with the Hellcat twins — I'd call it The Judge

Interviewers are unlikely to respond with a deadpan "no" unless you're completely wrong, or they've already decided you're not a good fit. Basing the question on information they've provided in the interview should generally avoid this problem, and if that does happen you can use it as an opportunity to clarify the…

The SVX is undoubtedly a cool car, but if you're going to rip the guts out of an old Subie and drop in STi parts, I'd much, MUCH rather have a 2.5RSTi.

Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

Red leather interior = instant no.

Decisions, decisions...

Don't Airs already have a much-longer-than-average battery life? I'd be happy with a solid eight hours and a processor with a little more grunt.

Hellcat and Monster? That's a sweet set of rides. Maybe a potential upgrade path for my WRX and Ninja...

Nice wallpaper. It reminds me a lot of the Finger Lakes in upstate NY.

Cool, thanks I'll check out that link.

That's my approach too, not politically motivated as much as risk-averse. If SS is gone by the time I retire, I'll still be able to support myself. And if it's still there, I'll have that much more for unexpected expenses (or luxuries, or be able to donate my own money, etc).

I'm maxing out my 401k ($17500/yr, 25% of my income) plus 5% employer match, and maxing out a Roth IRA ($5500/yr). So, that's ~$1916/mo before the match, and ~$2208 including it. Any money saved beyond that goes into a taxable investment account, and while that's not specifically a retirement account, if I can…
