Depreciation sure is a bitch. I thought when we bought our M5 we were at or near the bottom of the depreciation cliff. $24k for the car two and half years ago, god I don’t want to think about it in maintenance costs and I’d be lucky to get $13,000 for it today.

I guess when that concept car was making the news, “Tesla Killer” was the headline CNN used I think, I didn’t bother to look into the “money” behind this thing. Leshi was delisted by the Shenzhen stock exchange back on December 4th? Sounds like it is just more imaginary Chinese money, it never existed in the first…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Liquid smoke is an abomination.

Taking the business school mantra of “The customer is always right, but not everyone needs to be your customer.” to its logical extreme I guess.

Can I get the track map one in that jewel blue color of the one in the center with the maps in that orange from the one in the middle back please? You can just deliver it to my house, I’ll get the check in the mail to you soon.

I’d suggest not adding Wild Ginger to the list of ginger beers to test. God that shit was awful. I kind of like Gosling but only as a mixer.

As a systems administrator responsible for email amongst other things it utterly baffles me how some people keep their jobs.

Strap on the front wheel too moron, or did you think the front end magically levitated to the side?

Well it almost certainly has a bent tie rod and maybe a damaged steering rack from being yanked out sideways by the wheel like that.

At least here in Cleveland Kia (and Hyundai) dealers give me bad vibes. Their commercials are all about “Bad credit! No credit! Repo! Bankruptcy! We can finance you!” They’re worse than the buy here pay here places and it keeps me from visiting the dealers.

I’m just confused by the old school dive mask. I can’t think of any reason at all you’d want to have that type of mask.

Co-worker recently bought a Prius V Five. My first problem was that name. Is it pronounced Prius five five or Prius “V” five and why are there five of them and what does the V stand for anyways and why the hell didn’t you buy any of the cars I suggested to you? At any rate this thing stickered just short of $36,000…

Here’s my thought, LeBron got involved in cases where an actual injustice was involved and has decided not to get involved here because there is no injustice. Maybe he just thinks the kid’s death, while a tragedy, is not a crime.

Yep, after two Fridays worth of “I get paid on Friday can you hold it for me until then?” I got a “Will you take a post-dated check?” This is the same genius who filed a report with the police for theft after I sold the truck to someone who actually had the money. Seems he had figured non-running truck for $1500, new…

You forgot my personal favorite “Will you take a post-dated check?”

That’s the color mine was. I think I told the story when one was featured in NPOCP a while back but an 86 EXP was my first car. When it came time for me to buy a car my parents insisted that they get to pick the vehicle. It had to be a Ford product since dad worked for Ford. And mom insisted it had to be a car without…

I owned an early build date 2000 GTS. It cost almost exactly the same as a Type-R at the time. What a bad decision I made buying that car instead of the Type-R. I could have gotten a $20,000 insurance payout for the Type-R when it was inevitably stolen a year or less into ownership instead of getting $4900 for my low…

Subaru changed the drain plugs on their transmissions some time around 2005 to a T60 bolt because too many oil change places were removing the wrong 17mm bolt when trying to drain the oil. T60 sockets are freaking expensive and they don’t have them at the local Sears if you want to change your transmission fluid.

100% this, I remember that Mercury Capri with loathing but it was always parked with the doors unlocked. I often couldn’t get it to start WITH the keys and felt if someone could start it without they were more than welcome to have the thing.

Electro-magnet actuated brakes? Are we talking like electric trailer brakes? Basically centripetal activated drum brakes or something totally different? Cause that sounds like it would royally suck on a bike.
