My three year old toddler just asked, “Is that Mia or Tia?”

I think the cars at the first dealership were window dressing and never meant to be sold.

“We finance everyone!”

There is nothing wrong with responsibly using credit. When my now wife realized she needed a car, she knew zero about the purchase/lease process. Rather than blindly rushing in, she spent a few weeks asking folks familiar with buying cars questions, doing research online, distilling the answers, and shopping around. …

Nothing wrong with responsible borrowing that makes financial sense. My wife and I did something similar when we got a minivan several years back (Hey Jalopnik peanut gallery, I can hear the laughing so cut it out). We realized sliding doors and a low rear tailgate made handling two active toddlers much easier.. …

Because people are dumb. In a previous article, I commented how my sister in law hangs out with the crowd that are in a perpetual cycle of financial disaster due to their own poor decisions. No one thinks fore than 30 seconds into the future and make stupid inclusive decisions with long term consequences. Gotta…

Bedoe’s story reminds me of a stupid. self inflicted GPS fuck up. I was sent to the UAE for a business project. As with all projects planned thousands of miles away, things went off track is short order. Over the course of the next week, it was a constant shuffle between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.

One of the C-level execs at work drives one. As far as he is concerned, it’s a car that gets him from point A to point B reliably and cheaply. He could afford much more but what is the point? Showing off to random strangers when sitting in standstill traffic?

Nah, he needs a $21,000 truck financed at 25% ARP. Don’t worry, it will be society’s fault if he cannot afford the loan.

Close the comments. All that needs to be said has been said.

I have a friend that used to put her feet on the dash. Finally showed her some YouTube videos of real time airbag deployments including the ones where people set them off inside microwaves (not by running them). Then told her it’s probably pretty painful to have your legs slammed into the windshield and then back…

I’m guessing a rocket would get it up to the proper altitude and speed before the reactor goes critical.

I bet Ferris Bueller couldn’t do that on his day off!

Anyone that does not crack a smile has no soul.
