You're not being a pedant at all... Those folks were people too.

You can't take it with you! (The cash, or the car).

I never said depletes, I simply said "more." Say you half a million just sitting in the bank, 25k is still 5% of that. I know that I will never reach the point where the price of a new car is a trivial sum to me, so it's worth considering these sort of things.

That's true that they can't be compared. I'm just presenting a reason for why yes, it can indeed be a reasonably good idea to finance a car with a low rate. The title of this article is "Why you should never, ever.."

What? You clearly do not understand what I just said. No matter how much you've saved, absolutely no matter what (even if it's a bajillion jillion dollars), if you pay cash for your car versus financing, you WILL have less cash in your accounts after you buy the car.

Some people on here seem literally incapable of understanding what you just said.

You're just essentially saying that you don't believe in investing (and I don't mean in a car). That's fine for you, but there's millions of people for whom it works quite well.

I don't know nearly as much about finances as I should. But I'm not writing an article about it... this post misses so much, including the benefit of having cash on hand, no-interest loans, and the possibility that you happen to want a new car.

So? He's not arguing that getting a loan is the cheapest option. He's saying that there's value to having more cash on hand. And no matter how much you've saved up, you'll always have more cash on hand if you finance, until the last few months of your loan.

He's not saying he would cover his losses (the depreciation). He's saying that if you invest that money for 5 years, with a no-interest loan, he would have more money than if he just bought the car for cash. And he's right.

This is all assuming that passenger boarding is the bottleneck to the plane taking off. Is that actually the case? Usually when I fly we end up in a queue of planes at the end of the runway waiting to take off. If we boarded faster would we get further up in that line and take off sooner, or just wait longer on the…

Do you have any more shots of that roof?

"In the defense of the poor bastard..."

Or, they could have not passed before the person ahead of them was even done with their passing maneuver.

Same here, but nor do any of them really interest me!

I'm almost certain it's a terrible idea to grab any handle in the event of a crash. A good way to break your hand or arm. If you look at pros crash, particularly rally car drivers, they bring their arms into their chests when crashing.

Basically, I don't think what he was doing was journalistic. He was just pissing off an advertiser on his off hours. There was no journalistic value in his actions, so it was silly of him to do so.

I don't think journalistic ethics apply to comments made outside of the paper. This guy was simply nit-picking about an advertiser outside of work. Does that constitute journalism?

I'd say, he was well within his rights to post that on facebook, the dealer was well within his rights to call and threaten to pull his ads, and the paper was (probably) within their rights to let him go. As far was what was right or wrong thing to do.. couldn't care less.

Really? I mean it's nice but... Dat F-type!
