List should at least be vehicles one could reasonably afford.

That is a touching story.

I'm so sick of the blind hate for anything 'business' on the internet....

I've been expecting you.

If someone tries to justify a Miata as the answer to this one I'm going to punch them in the throat.

BUT.... BUT... We need a Ranger that weighs in at half of this and has a three cylinder engine, manual transmission, and crank windows and costs $13,000 brand new. There's no need for a truck that can actually fit things in the bed or tow something larger than a small aluminum boat, fit more than 2 people inside, and…

Sadly not that much different anymore.

That's why I'm using it on Jalopnik. The same as Gawker, but different.

Logic is not welcome on Gawker.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but here it goes:

The problem with socialism

This isn't even close to "free-market". One is a tax subsidized station that can make $0.00 profit and still stay in business, the other is a station that an individual had to buy, then pay a mortgage on, pay employees, pay insurance, utilities, and any other expenses out of the stations profits and then still needs…

It becomes unfair when you don't have to make a profit to exist - when was the last time you heard of a government making a profit?

...but if no one was reading them (which I have to imagine only some motorcylists and almost no drivers were), how does removing this guide mean suddenly lane-splitting went from a safe, sensible activity to suicide? I doubt they'll be any rise in accidents, injuries or death. Shouldn't people just use common sense?…

Judging by the first entry, "Travel at a speed that is no more than 10 MPH faster than other traffic," the removal of the guide will reduce the number of motorcyclists that read it from zero to zero.

Time to play devil's advocate.

They're pretty well regulated, with the exception of derivatives. They've been getting less and less regulated over the last 30 years. The problem isn't that they're wrong or evil, but that a "derivative" covers such a large, complicated genre of financial tools that making good regulation and predicting what's going…

Also, cars are a lot more liquid than real estate. The bank can repo a car and have it sold at auction in a few weeks. Foreclosures can linger for years.

Comparing subprime used car loans to subprime home loans is like saying it's just as deadly to get hit by a thrown bullet as it is to get hit by one shot out of a gun. We are talking about a fractional amount of money comparatively. Any excuse to talk about OMG TEH NEXT BUBBLE though I suppose..
