This is horseshit Caroline, and you know I don't say that often. I am ever so pissed.

If you make $62.4k a year or less, you pay 25% tax. If you make more than that, you pay 52% on everythin over $62.4 is what he's saying. So if you make $100k, you're paying $35,152, not $52,000.

Another issue is premium image of luxury companies.

Maybe since he has a car for free, the $300k should be used for setting up a charity to buy people in similar situations modest, reliable used cars for $5k.

I've been commuting around 200 miles a day in snowy weather with my high mileage E39 M5. I never plan on selling it, but I've realized I need a newer commuter car. It's only for a few months I have to drive this much, but I know my M5 probably will be retired to garage queen duty at 200k miles.

No. Read the article. It's from people living longer.

The issue isn't overcrowding. I drove from Chicago to Denver a few weeks ago and saw nothing but open land (not even used for farming sometimes) for a thousand miles. The issue is the infatuation with suburbia. Close enough to be crowded and not dense enough to justify public transit.

You could build one of these for less with a clear title.

It's like a Mazda6 met a Charger on Mardi Gras

For what it's worth, Cadillac includes roadside assistance.

I was a little surprised to see my new, $2500 ASUS Zenbook didn't have a CD/DVD drive. Rarely do I need one, but it surprised me. I was going to install a program from a DVD on it, so I had to buy a USB disk drive

The real problem here is that he's boycotting something that isn't unjust. He's just an uneducated consumer.

I think this really is a Model 3. But I think it has a false back on it. It's shaped a lot like a Prius, but if you look closely at the rear doors, they obviously don't fit and the rear part of the body looks like it was added on. Manufacturers hide cars' profiles by adding stuff like this to them.

If we're talking anecdotes, I have plenty that go in both directions.

One of my friends had a new Wrangler in 2012 that needed a new transmission after about 20k miles. Then the second tranny lasted about 5k miles. Then the third tranny had the same whine that precluded the first two failures as soon as he drove it home from the dealer. The engine had been running rough and getting…

Sexual assault is a university problem, not an inherently fraternity problem. If you look at statistics and number, rather than anecdotes. You'll see that fraternities are significantly less likely to have sexual assaults than those off campus (at least at my school). It makes sense why:

I realize all of this.

It's a safety thing. Winter storms mean many emergencies will occur. Mostly from idiots driving out in the storm. He would rather not deal with that if at all possible.

I've always wanted a TrailBlazer but that still seems too expensive.
