Not really. Your 2.13 an hour is what's paying those taxes, so even if you earn more in credit card tips, your hourly rate isn't changing. You only make $80 a week based on your wage, and that all goes away, regardless of your credit card tips.

All those credit card tips do is go to the line item of tips earned, and…

Do you consider the cost of living everywhere has gone up for the last decade, while wages have not? 30k right now buys you less than it did 50 years ago, even adjusted for inflation. How do you propose anyone, server or waged employee, continue to pay the ever increasing cost of rent while their wage decreases year…

If it didn't pay your tuition would you have even considered it? Or were you working at applebees making $10 an hour serving endless shrimp?

How on earth would you suggest a server, typically laden with student loan debt, as well as other necessities like rent/mortgage, car payments, insurance, cell phone, etc. Consider to save for something like that?

When your discretionary income is $300-400 a month, that's not possible. You'll need to buy new shoes for…

They technically don't have to tip. Plus, after they leave a nice tip, they might feel better about themselves for helping another human being.

Plus they aren't paying doubled food costs to cover front of house labor.

I also imagine back of house labor would start to get pissed if servers were making way more hourly…

Probably like any other electric guitar. The same process goes into making a guitar as making a table or a shelf or any other wooden object. The biggest sound influence is the quality of the parts like the bridge.

Whatever, tipped employees make good money. I'll take my chances with a tip over a $15 an hour wage.

It's a lot harder for a server to pay all owed taxes at the end of the year than a person with a normal job who gets it taken out of each paycheck.

Last year my taxes owed were over $3,000 ... If someone just handed you a bill for 3k and you were working poor, could you afford to just write a check? That's more money…

Not to mention you just keep the cake in a air tight container and it won't go dry.

Tupperware cake savers? GASP

Can I ask why you learned to double clutch in a Miata? That seems really pointless.

I don't think gelling is really an issue with modern on road diesel. Unless you live in subarctic zones of course.

You make 140k a year and are complaining about the cost of health insurance? Boo friggin hoo money bags.

That's incredible. I've yet to have anyone say anything to me at a gas station.

Winter was brutal on mileage. I could rarely get into the 40s'. Most of it was 38-39 all winter.

I park in my garage so I don't have to worry about no heat. 5 minutes to the highway and i've got plenty of warm air.

It's funny, because when I tell people I get 40mpg they're like NO WAY THATS CRAZY and i'm like - yeah, I wish I got more :(

All things considered, it's a good place to be.

I tend to see right at 40 when I fill up. Average 550 per tank, 80% highway, but that 20% "city" wrecks any chance of maintaining good mileage.

I also opted for the DSG not knowing that the gear ratios were completely different.

This video is better

If I fill up the neck I can get another half gallon or so. The most i've ever put in was 14.4.

The light in the golf comes on right around 12.5 gallons. So you've still got a solid 100 miles to go.

That's a monster tank on the R8!

I wish VW would incorporate larger tanks on their smaller diesel's like the golf/jetta.
14.5gal is good for 550 before the light comes on, but I'd be much happier with a 20 gallon tank. Near that 900 mile mark before refueling. Fill up once a month. Be a bad ass road tripper.

They have 2 clutches. 2 > 1, therefore better.
