Burying power lines.

“If you’re interfering with somebody who’s trying to get the power back up, you’re not speeding up the process of getting the power back on; you’re slowing that process down,”

Ford Escort Wagon and collector car is not something I thought would be in the same sentence.

I don’t have proof. That not one, but two service techs explicitly went against the wishes of the customer and took the car for a joyride does not happen in a shop screams that this kind of stuff happens all the time. Could it be a one-off? Sure, but I don’t think so.

“I see nothing in this article that makes me think the dealership did anything negligent or intentionally wrong, story is about a loser of a human being intentionally criminal.”

The way you wrote that seemed like you were saying it’s a Kia dealer.

It was a Chevy dealer.

He’s just doing what Ted Cruz does - go on vacation. Although, I don’t think acme64 does it while his state is in the midst of an emergency and then has the audacity to blame his kids when he gets called out for his terrible leadership.

And just what does a Soviet propaganda poster about the importance of industry in Ukraine have anything to do with Russia invading Ukraine?

Did Russia invade Ukraine or not? Simple question.

Nation building war? You do realize Russia invaded Ukraine right?

You’re reading way too much into a sentence. Apparently saying a commonly uttered phrase of (conveniently) blaming your spouse for something means they are in a controlling, abusive relationship and are essentially slaves to their will.

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.
