We went from a first gen xB to a Flex.

Ford is currently offering $8000 in cash incentives on the Taurus. Right now you can get one cheaper than a Fusion.

Sludgemaster flash 1.8T engine, unreliable late 90s audi electrical system, interference engine with unknown timing belt provenance. Crack pipe all day long.

Even then, if you can get a stripper jetta for $12-13k, that may be the best new car deal on the market (along with a stripper flex for $24,500).

Last time I flew DFW-Honolulu on American it was on a beautiful new 777. They must swap in the 767 in the off season?

T-mobile offers free texting on in flight wifi (gogo) on androids/iphones. You just have to activate wifi calling on the ground before you leave.

We did the same with our ecoboost flex. It was $1400 for 7 years/unlimited for powertrain and electronics.

Holy cow - what do you have to do to get the teaser price?!? $10k for a new jetta is a steal.

Except the combined manifold/cat, which is a common $3k replacement.

Uber loses a shitload of money. Over $2.8B last year, and likely a over $2B this year; and that’s not including the fact that uber doesn’t have to pay for cars themselves. Every uber ride taken by a customer is heavily subsidized.

The pitch to drivers is that it’s income, but instead, it’s more like a great way to convert depreciation into cash.

It’s okay - the one great car movie coming out this year will redeem the rest.

According to ye olde google, an Ambassador is 62.7 inches tall, which is 5'3".

Some aren’t, some are. There’s an indian guy in my office, his wife is 5'9". She’d tower over one of these cars.

Reminds me of an old Mad or Cracked where they had a spoof of how airline ads were filmed - after the director yelled cut, it became obvious the actors were all little people.

Truecar is a great resource for pricing out cars. With some research (ie, finding dealer email addresses), I’ve gotten the truecar price or close to it without signing up for the truecar service.

I, too, enjoyed it, but I couldn’t help but think it was just a pg-13 Heathers. Maybe every generation needs their “getting back at the populars” movie.

Irony strikes again, because the food—particularly the breakfast food—at Cracker Barrel is fucking awesome. I’d eat there every day if I had a way to burn off the 17,000 calories I’d gain doing it. Unfortunately, when I’m there, every white person in there automatically becomes Jeff Sessions in my head. Which is why I…

Yeah, but they’re like that with everyone. It’s not because I’m black.

I love being alone, but I was a) lonely and b) unaware of how lonely I was.
