You’ve never had a buddy say “I can’t come out tonight the wife won’t let me?”

A little bit extra money on that Lambo is probably the cost of the entire Ioniq.

I don’t base my car purchase on my salary, I base it on my current financial situation. Which includes my wife’s salary, our savings, our debts, our plans for other large expenses like home renovations, etc. And I sure as shit wouldn’t spend 70k on a brand new car. No way am I eating that depreciation hit.

“Would you have been ok with your spouse telling you that you couldn’t have it, even if you could easily afford it?”

Sure, but we don’t know. As I said, if the guy was being abusive then sure, fuck him. But I don’t see an issue with a husband pushing back against a large purchase that is really being done for emotional reasons. And yes, you can tell this was an emotional purchase because she went out of her way to make a purchase…

“I just really wanted a Tesla because it’s something my ex wouldn’t let me [have]”

Little stock unless you want an overpriced condo that is suitable more for a childless couple at most, because anything bigger and you will be eating eye watering maintenance fees.

I live in Toronto. One million USD will get you something far worse than a fixer upper.

Why do people subject themselves to a 75-mile one way commute? The sheer amount of time lost commuting is just staggering.

“You can design and build a motor that has a wide rpm power band, or a really high torque that falls off fast.”

I’d argue that whenever you’re drunk and get behind the wheel, any injury you cause should be attempted murder charges. It’s the only way these fucking asshats will learn.

A man that believes IQ is tied to race is most definitely racist.

What does being an auto enthusiast have to do with anything being discussed?

“The writers frequently inject their personal opinions about things where it doesn’t belong.”

Yeah at that point you’re basically eating softened fiber. 

You probably had the bland white version of cauliflower: blanched with no salt. The rest of the cuisine world knows how to treat cauliflower better.

So the guy who had the gun ended up getting disarmed and shot to death.

And how does one “make better decisions in life” when they are suffering from a mental health problem and there is virtually no support for them?

Ah yes, the famous American social safety net. If there are homeless it’s because they chose to avoid the net, not because they fell through the 50ft wide tears in it.

Would sending a drone from somewhere be faster, or a nearby patrol?
