This guy gets it

> Could there possibly be a sliver of gray area between the both of your opinions instead of creating a totally bogus scenario?

Hyperbole is useful in understanding ones position on a subject. Otherwise people can just live in the grey area and never understand their convictions.

One of the other dads in my son’s boy scout, little league, school mate crowd, owns a hillbilly repair shop and junkyard. He has a solution to this problem, and employs it on a regular basis. Every year he cull his herd. He grabs a can of spray paint, and walks his collection of scrap cars, all perched on the steep…

This is the ultimate argument against wealth equity in society. Take Jeff the 16 year old burger king employee, take gordon the 47 year old cook, give them the exact same resources (same meat, same kitchen, same everything) and decide for yourself if the result of their labor is of equal value.

You clearly agree that…

May i ask whats wrong with wealth distribution? I presume its “Its unequal”.

Does gordan ramsay have the right to ask for more to make you a burger than Jeff, the Burger king line cook?

If I were 14, this might spark envy in my soft little brain. As a man in his 30s, I can only think that some incredibly bad decisions are going to be made in that ridiculously gaudy house, and these kids are just not ready for it.

I bought a 2019 Spark ( in Passion fruit or flower color) for my college age daughter. She was/is a relatively new driver and was living/commuting/working in a city environment. My prerequisites for her car were clean sight lines, easy to park, modern safety and good fuel mileage. Chevy was offering crazy rebates on…

We’re treating ‘pets’ completely wrong in terms of feeding.

A few years back my own aging car was giving me enough trouble that I was renting cars every couple of months while its issues were dealt with. I used it as an opportunity to try various different small cars, most of which I hated (Fiat 500: I’m glaring at you). But once I tried the Spark it quickly became my go-to,…

PPP loans won’t need to be paid back if used for payroll related expenses and if they maintained headcount. 

This is the perfect iteration of this car, I think. Best color, manual, seems to be in pretty good shape, the mods that make it as good as possible without ruining it (save for maybe the resonator delete...).

I agree with that. There’s def an issue here. I looked at the article with “I would do XYZ.” But I wouldn’t be surprised if the person ends up doing nothing and goes and buys another car. But hopefully we can influence them a bit by telling them “just sell/get rid of 1/3/4 (or whichever.” Because some people are just…

Ban deodorants?  It’s no Secret that it’s Essential for some people to use it.

“First of all, I wouldn’t call any of them junk”

Actually maybe DT is trying to start a support group? 

I agree, but I would take it a step further. I would do a bit of medium term financial discipline before buying anything else. First, dump everything but the Camry. Put all sale proceeds in the bank. Commit to a year of spending as little as possible on the Camry without letting it degrade. Bank all of the…

If they run and drive, they are worth at least 2k each

Has this site always been hoarder-centric or has there been a significant uptick in this sort of post?

It’s worth noting that this makes every new BMW more of a throwaway product. How long is the ConnectedDrive app and related subscription service going to be supported so buyers 20 years from now can have a fully-functioning vehicle?
