Every parking lot ticket I’ve seen says something to the effect that the customer is paying only to rent the space in the lot and explicitly disclaims that a bailment is created.

The other thing with the Chase Sapphire is that you can cash in reward points earned on other Chase cards with the 25% travel bonus (50% if you have Sapphire Reserve). So those 5% quarterly categories with Chase Freedom effectively become 6.25% (or 7.5% with the Reserve) rewards when you cash them out in travel…

In other words, Welcome to DFW airport where you already have to pay a toll just to drive into the airport to drop someone off or pick them up ($2 bucks to be on their premises for up to 30 minutes) and no one even tries to pretend that the environment has anything to do with it.

Don’t forget the candy paint and “swangas”

The year the SHO debuted, it was the third fasted sedan on the market behind a BMW 7-series and a BMW M5.

My dad feels the same way about the V8. My mom had a ‘92 with a manual that she paid nowhere near sticker for because the dealer was so desperate to get it off the lot. The car was a ton of fun, but they eventually got rid of it because the reliability issues had gotten to be too much of a hassle to deal with.

As a normal person driving a normal car, the OEM brakes lasted about 9 years on my Mazda3 before they needed replacement. I don’t expect to have to do the job again before I get rid of the car.

Austin tried that, but it turns out that if you don’t build it, they still come.

And if your car is worth more than $5000 private party, every rando on Craigslist will be asking if you can finance.

You don’t get a 600 credit rating unless you’ve skipped payments or defaulted on debts. A person who’s completely opted out of the credit economy will have no credit score, not a bad one (though the effects are largely indistinguishable).

Don’t forget the force multiplier effect when combined with other Chase cards. The 5% quarterly categories on the Chase Freedom are now 7.5% when you have the Sapphire Reserve.

Don’t forget when Chester realizes that his aged knees and back can’t get him in and out of a low-slung sports car like they could in his youth.

One could also use a resistive temperature sensor (i.e. a Pt100 or Pt1000 element).

I think you mean, “And I look forward to buying it used in five years.”

Eh, as much as North Korea frustrates China, they really do like having a buffer between themselves and South Korea.

Really? The CVT on my wife’s Juke is pretty awesome, but it’s clearly tuned better than the unit on Nissan’s more “normal” offerings (the loaner Sentra I got once was horrible). The power delivery is pretty constant and there is no shift lag when you want to pass on the highway.

I-35 during rush hour. Hilariously long traffic jams on a road surface that I would describe as “cratered moonscape” when you’re near a city.

Most apartments in the US aren’t rent controlled.

Now if only police in the US would force more idiots to sand their tinted taillights clean...

But to get back to your main point, Latin America is actually very ethnically diverse place and for the most part, second-generation children aren’t “immigrants” in any meaningful sense. As I mentioned before, the President of Peru was at one point a guy with the name “Fujimori” (second-generation Japanese-Peruvian),…
