Just scrap it. Or make a nice 928 bodied fish tank out of it.  Too much head ache here to make it worth it.  

I’m so sorry for you.

But just look at it.  80's TV antenna alone doesn’t justify $$ > $10k.  You high, man. 

Not terrible. Today’s used car market pricing for a comfy touring vehicle . . . this is a very decent option, budget $4k for additional maintenance post-purchase, though.  

Rolling along in my S5 at 70mph I hit a re-tread that had just exploded in front of me. Left a wicked looking black streak all over the front left bumper. Screamed obscenities because re-treading is frickin’ dangerous, and why is it allowed (sep subject)?  Went home, rubbed the giant black streak from the bumper, and…

This made my day. Star for you.

‘Cause it’s Canada . . .

Audi S5 (2010) w/supercharger engine: 8 hrs to replace a $75 thermostat because it’s located behind the dang supercharger! 

Uuggghhh, so annoying that a $8.5k car is now expected to command a $15k price. WTH.  It’s a nice car, but, honestly, this is ‘Bring a Trailer’ overpriced. 

Agreed. $10k, maybe. Otherwise ND, CP, hell no, etc. . .

Over $4 in Los Angeles, CA taxes at work.  Worse if you’re even slightly in the ‘burbs. 

And here is the current LX, which just looks absurd.

Indeed, $16M in 2 years running a website and making some Youtube videos? No wonder they pulled the plug, complete financial mismanagement.

Classic ‘I know what I have’ pricing. ND for a 12 yr old Porsche that was $72k when new. 25% is WAY too low for the depreciation over 12 years on a German Unicorn that requires elves and fairies to fix.  

I suppose you’re right, no such thing as a truly closed system. Someone, somewhere along the line established a way in, no matter the interface:  wireless, or direct connect.

Both made in China, but would you choose Huawei or Apple phone software? The one that has no oversight, or the one which the FBI had to utilize third party assistance to crack it open? Not quite the same.

I’d say trust in the software that will track you everywhere you go, every bluetooth phone call you make, song you listen to, etc.  Bad all around for our economy and our national security. Look at a DJI drones as an example.

Sucks for the kid, but the dealer, even though they sound shady, are in the right to repossess the car the ‘salesman’ didn’t own. Unfortunately the kid has to go to small claims to get the $10k from the ‘salesman’.

We really don’t need another compact luxury SUV. Really? “The 2022 Genesis GV70 is a brand-new model for Genesis, and it’s its first shot at a compact SUV in a market that desperately craves them.” No, we don’t need another one.

It has nothing to do with a sitting President. Simple supply vs. demand. People stopped driving, OPEC cut production, then people started driving again, prices went up. Same situation with lumber. COVID hit, mills cut production, people stayed home, decided to do home projects, demand went up, prices went up.
