My wife and I did the same, we were going to pay cash for a used vehicle but we did the math and ended up going new. We were offered 0% for 60 months as well as other incentives and went with that option. After making the down payment, we put the remainder into a stock fund. Once all costs were factored in, we are…

So one of the claims is the sweeper was visible for 20 seconds and the vehicle took no action to avoid it. If only there was a way the car could have been manually manipulated to change course away from a stationary object by some sentient being responsible for operating the vehicle.

No shit. Had a 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser. Swapping out a front turn signal bulb took about 1 minute from the time I opened the package to when I threw away the burned out bulb.

My wife gave up an X5 M for a Honda Odyssey when the 2nd kid was due. She didn’t speak to me for a week and was likely contemplating divorce. Modding her van may win me a few brownie points from the automotive side of our relationship.

When I was consulting in the automotive industry, I met a salesman that would routinely move 75+ cars per month. Did over 120 in one month during the 2009 cash for clunkers rebate period. He was genuinely a nice guy that did not BS people or play games. He helped his store keep sales numbers up so the General Manager…

Alright, I’ll take the clickbait. I do not have a dog in this fight but just want to get a few observations down.

So which FAA official was caught having relations with a goat and blackmailed into signing off on that contraption?

Twin sticks used to short circuit my brain. There are just not enough arms to shift both sticks and turning a corner at the same time. A with 5 speed main with 4 speed auxiliary had quite a learning curve,

While I do not use that recipe, the process is about the same. After shredding, I return the beef to simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes without pressure. Works great with extremely tasty results.

Of course I read it. It states exactly what I have said. Withholding rates are one matter and tax rates are another matter. Others have dumbed it down for you and I will try it too. Taxes are withheld from bonus the same as your regular salary. There are various methods of witholding when it comes to bonuses. Not…

Why are you doubling down on stupidity by moving the goalposts with nonsense and gibberish?

LOL,

As I stated in another post, there is a difference between withholding rates and tax rates. If too much is withheld, you will receive a refund. I too have all my bonuses withheld at a 40% rate. My actual effective tax rate is lower and comes back to me as a refund. If you do not believe me, go back to your previous…

Withholding rate and tax rate are not the same. As I and many other have said, bonuses are NOT taxed at a higher rate.

Of course. Part of my job involves accounting and finance. Can you tell me where I am wrong?

Withholding and tax rate are not the same. If too much is withheld, you get the money back as a return. If too little is withheld, you cut a check to the Treasury. Unless the bonus bumps a person into a higher bracket and taxed at the next progressive rate, bonuses do not get taxed at a high rate.

Yes they do and the link confirms what I have stated.

That is incorrect. Bonuses are NOT taxed at a higher rate.

Who won the, “Rent out the back of an Escalade to a call girl to service Johns and get it cleaned up in 30 seconds when the owner unexpectedly shows up 3 hours earlier than expected” event?

I’ve come to realize that at least 50% of Americans never plan more than 30 seconds into the future, Rather than think their actions through, many simply plow ahead with bad choices then expect others to bail them out. I’ve made plenty of mistakes but there is always a Plan B or way to make things right. So many folks…
