Not related to the story, but reading anything on this site is like dealing with crap. Stupid 1/2 page, non disappearing KIA ad is blocking almost everything.  Screw this damn site.

This stuff is getting worse. I mean Jalopnik has always played fast and loose with the concept of editing, but it’s getting eye-opening at this point.

I really just think this guy in uninformed. Rarely is there ever an added CC fee, and if so, that’s imposed by the retailer to cover their costs associated with accepting your flavor of CC. Go to any major retailer and try to pay with cash or CC and the bill will be the same.

Because there are plenty of ways to gain personally by using credit cards? At a minimum, there are plenty of “cash back” credit cards giving 2% or so back every month. So assuming you have the discipline to pay it off every month, that’s a 2% discount on everything you buy with the card. The times you can get a…

Um, sir, this is TEXAS? 

I don’t agree that FICO is a scam, but it doesn’t reward good credit behavior as much as it penalizes hiccups.

Because he wants and can afford a nicer car. He just didn’t have sufficient credit history to get decent loan terms. 

Every pickup driver that still has a Trump 2020 sticker on the bumper disagrees with you.

Driving this vehicle absent a B pillar would be a different kind of suicide.

He's identifying the client's class in the hierarchy.

If that existed, I would be bombarding my rear seat passengers on a regular basis just for laughs.

It seems like more than a run for the money- while the Tesla is “faster,” the iX seems to be a much better place to be stuck for a day. In the end, that’s what it all comes down to- which one do you want to be stuck in for your commute or for long drives? Both look silly- the Tesla like something from woody allen’s…

Wasn’t this the opening scene of Super Troopers?

I mean, all he had to do was follow instructions, and not resist.  If he didn’t resist, he would have been fine.  -___- isn’t that what the other cops always say?

You don’t negotiate on TV’s? Man, I’ll negotiate on anything. We bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer last fall. Love the set, but they’re frightfully expensive. I also have a bigass Weber grill at home. I paid list for it, but they threw in the cover and a set of Weber branded grill tools at no cost. All because I…

I wish health/life insurance carriers would either refuse to cover unvaccinated people, or at least charge them enough to make it hurt for them and their employers.

This. There’s a whole generation of folks where negotiating is part of the buying process, and that generation is dying out (sorry to be put it into such blunt terms).

“Only 520 miles? Needs to be 1,000. If it were 1,000, I’d buy one tomorrow.”

This EV won’t work for me because the commute to my job is 20 miles each way and once I get there they don’t give me enough money to buy this car.
