It’s probably actually slightly less bad than buying one new.

Wait. They still make the compass? Not being facetious, I honestly had NO idea the things were still around with a refresh.

I’ve never seen a business so intent on deliberately alienating its consumers as legacy Gawker media. First Kinja, then killing Deadspin, now whatever parade of horribles their unreadable ad- and slideshow-bloated websites now display. This shit in 2020 makes me long for the days of Netscape frames and Geocities flash…

Doug has mastered the audience, platform, and business plan

Speaking as a non-American, it is truly shocking and DEEPLY disturbing how integrated and prevalent military integration is in your society. I say this without any hyperbole, but it’s a breath away from Fascism.

A “journey” of two years of sketches, riffing, and PR buzzwords, all while [I assume] pulling in multiple six figures along with high-end travel and benefits. Ah, I should’ve worked in design...

I’ve been daily-driving a 2020 Mazda3 for several months now and the beam axle is barely noticeable compared to the sweet smell of fat green stacks I saved by not buying a badge and an independent suspension. Yes I keep wads of money in my passenger sheet. Don’t judge me.

A-Class gets a Torsion beam rear if you haven’t got the AMG - line trim, or if you’ve got wheels smaller than 18" from factory. Base trims of the 228i have this as well (in europe for sure). Your point again?

Well, I hope it works out.

Yes the races are removable. RJ the Bike Guy on the Tube has a homemade tool for doing just that.

There must be a more standard bearing option with an ability to add adapters to the top + bottom of the mechanism to fit the frame / handlebars, which would be a cheap weld. 

I would go in on the $13 bearings... if the cup/races that they ride on weren’t also borked. Maybe I could get someone with a lathe to make me some new ones? I am unsure.

That poor kid. I’m pretty sure she is their media person, not a writer. She probably got voluntold that she had to start creating content and had no idea what to do since her job was supposed to be video editing, not cars.

Although I would enjoy seeing the panels of that ugly-ass body kit go flying off. 

By your own rationale, if someone could show you how all of those scenarios he is talking about have happened, then they are true. It may be a surprise, but car sales are actually not a rigid practice of truth and law. They are also not the same everywhere you go. Ramsey has heard from millions of people about their…

Him and Suze Orman. Both generally provide very general advice and make millions. Do as I say, not as I do people for sure. But hey, if it helps people get debt free that's a good thing. Far too many in this country live by what payments they can afford. I dont care how nice your truck is, that's a suffocating way to…

While Tom is technically correct I think he misses the real issue here.  Americans in general are spending more than they can afford on cars they don’t need.  In 2019 the average cost of a car was $34,000, that is up 2% from the year before and has been increasing at a rate greater than inflation for over 20 years. …
