I’m starting to think that EVs might be the thing that kills the big three. It doesn’t seem like ev cost will come down to the point of creating profit like a good old SUV.  Man, I better get in shape for when all we can get are bikes.  

Every day we stray further from reality.

That wagon is a mid- late 80’s Toyota Cressida. It was the top of the range pre Lexus Toyota which had the same straight-6 engine as the Supra. They also had the cool “quirks and features” dual rear wipers on the tailgate. 

This is the right answer, imo. If the Taurus is “long in the tooth” but still reliable, keep on driving that sucker. The used car market is so hot right now, despite recent (very slight) cooling off, that $10k isn’t going to get you a vast improvement on the Taurus, I fear. Like, I’m driving a 2009 Pontiac right now.…

Perhaps a more serious answer is just how much driving is Dylan doing? It doesn’t look like Bozeman is huge, I can’t imagine he’s doing that much more than 100 city miles a week (where a smaller car might benefit). Over 4 years, he might save a thousand bucks in gas by spending $10k on another car? I’m pretty sure…

I hope she gets life changing money from this. And I hope that money comes from the police union’s coffers.

It’s already IN the Constitution.

I have said for years, the worst criminals are the ones with badges.

Legal highway robbery.

Everything I read says the EV credit is NOT refundable. This means that the Venn diagram of people with $7,500 in tax liability AND who are below the 300% federal poverty level basically does not exist. Add in “shopping for a car costing more than $27,000" and “owning a place where they could plug in an EV”, and I’m…

I always thought “California hates poor people, but really wants them to move there” was kind of a cynical throwaway term idiots used when they couldn’t come up with something more creative.

When I grew up, these was this myth that if you worked hard, you could have a decent life. It was quickly becoming a fallacy in the 70s if it ever existed. I remember my first post-college job working my ass off on a project, finishing it early, massively under-budget and with zero defects - I was let go the day after…

Do all the extra (probably unpaid) work that you want. I worked for a company in the 1990s early in my career in television production. Worked insane hours for no overtime, only a free dinner and a taxi home if I worked past 9 pm. I thought it would help to move me up the ladder. I stupidly did this for three years.…

Letting someone go after they’ve bought into your “hardcore” mantra to the point of sleeping at the office seems like a pretty watertight argument for other employees to never work that hard in the future.

Looks like she didn’t have what it takes to thrive in this fast-paced environment.

A lot of them do. A van (small or large) allows you to store more tools and parts locked up. If you need a lot of materials you can just have them delivered by your supplier.

Comment section is just a bunch of keyboard warriors making “I” statements and criticizing young people. It makes me feel sad to read the tone on here when this article is about the situation young people find themselves in. Zero sympathy for the market factors at play that have led to this. Just a bunch of people…

Trust me, you do not want ten of that car.  It was a huge pile of shit.  I was able to keep it going for very little money, but nothing worked other than the bare essentials and I had to dress like I was going to climb Everest to drive it in the winter.

I have been just about everywhere in the country in my work travels. Everywhere in the US is more similar than it is different, Americans are Americans. Other than the weather and the cost, where I live in Florida is insignificantly different from where I live in Maine, and my life is insignificantly different in…

I think it’d be rather difficult to have the reveal be “the monster is Darth Vader” without it being comical, especially if it was meant to be a surprise.
