well that is not what I was talking about.  I was talking about learning to fix these things.  But if you insist, it is simple fact, you can never see everything around your car 100%.  It is simply a matter of fact, these fancy gadgets can add on to your awareness.

That dealer markup is insane.  How often do you think dealers just slapping on “Market Adjustments” can hinder the launch of a new car?

The car just came out, so there will be markup and add ons to max out on profit, might take a bit to see it calm down and get the 60k models.  Why would you build a base one right now when you know people will buy them with more stuff?  But it will get there.

This!  I don’t understand the attitude I read from so many people here.  It is like they see new tech and they decide its too much for them to deal with.  It is the thing that annoys me with my parents with new technology.  I set up their computer or phone and they have a question and instead I tell them what to do. …

1st/Neutral:  I don’t use an independent mechanic, just not sure how to find one that is honest so might as well take my chances with the dealer.  Though I know maintenance is the money maker for them.  But my regular maintenance has been pretty ok so far.  Never had anything go terribly wrong.  I do think that…

Ok old man yelling at cloud.  I can admire your desire to fix your own stuff, I do that with my computers.  But then you go off the rails and instead of getting better at it, learning the new stuff, you want to be that old person who just refuses to learn it.  Learn to fix the ADAS stuff and you will be happier.

You think that is worse?  No drunk driving?

I would hope that online sales move us to more retail like car buying experiences and cut out sales people and dealers that try tricks with Markups on cars they happen to have but provide nothing extra on.  Or that they try to slap on their own add ons to drive price up more.  A Target vs Walmart situation where…

Dealers agreeing to a markup, thanks for admitting dealers are total shit and protections keeping their racket alive should be removed.  Price fixing is illegal here and I am sure in Canada too.  Someone could set up a tent and sell these for MSRP, no need for a dealer to be in the middle.

Well I have a laptop for work and a personal one as well.  Three computers in the house, one will get neglected, especially when the desktop is used only for games these days and I am on the Xbox mostly lately.

Well I am an idiot that has all three, (PC, Pro and X). I can tell you trying to get my PC up to date after not using it for a couple of months dragged on. Out of all of them, the easiest to use is the Xbox. Updates are fast or automatic and you just start the game. Graphics settings are not as customizable but its…

1st/Neutral: I don’t even know what Mitsubishi stands for in the automotive market.  Is it a cheap car?  That is what comes to mind but a part of me feels that is not right.  Or at least that is not what they are going for.  Lancer’s seemed to be popular with kids that saw Fast and Furious.  I think it would need to…

The hell is wrong with you??? Why would you show us this?  I can’t get this out of my head!!!

Jake is a piece of trash and needs to be dealt with.  Now it is this kid, next he will be robbing a liquor store.

True sometimes, but even if you are paying after the fact, most hotels will charge you even if you don’t show up and didn’t cancel 48 hours before.

Most of the time actually.  As far a I remember, my card gets charged the full amount.  Then of course they have cancellation policies and I can get the money back if I cancel 48 to 24 hours before.  But if that is not the case, then I won’t be getting a refund... so the hotel got their money.  In my business travel,…

Car looks like it has a fat ass.

There is money for that, except the president ties it to investigations.

Selling a room that was paid for is pretty fucked up.  I dont care if I show up at 5am or 1 minute before an 11am checkout, i paid, that room is mine.  Stop being greedy, you got your fucking money.

look kid, obviously a child because you live in a fantasy world that you see on TV.  Did I say the break ups have to be acrimonious?  No.  So shut up.  Just the ex cannot be around.  You can have a good break up and not still be “friends”.  Because no exes allowed at the wedding.  So go suck a lemon.
