Tell me about it. I spent a long time just getting by in lower-end IT jobs, and it seemed like every time I got out of a hole there was another one just ahead. It wasn’t as bad as the people in this article, but I did make some bad decisions, luckily though I never got sucked into payday or other predatory loans. The…

Cheny was crude oil, I believe.

Nothing sounds as good as the 981 GTS.  Nothing.  :)

enjoy the satisfaction of that stock-shaped diff cover precisely distributing lube in that rear end.

Actually, we’re a federal republic, if you want to be exact, which to be fair, is a form of representative democracy. So you’re half right-ish?

Kinda like your thoughts on the “commanding victory” and the elective college. So first up, let’s address calling the popular vote “silly”. This inherently means the EC is…

No viable candidates yet. Dems are in an identity crisis. It’ll get sorted out very soon, we sure had lots of posturing during the SCOTUS confirmation. Dems dont even know themselves, just look at Cortez’s win over the 10-term NY incumbent Crowley.

Hey, remember that we’re in the United States, and we can call him a fat, orange, demented piece of shit who doesn’t actually represent this country’s actual values because we don’t live under a dictatorship.

Or sometimes, you just like the expensive car and can afford it. I am probably going to order new Porsche Cayman as a 50th birthday present to myself next summer. Because I want one and I can afford it. No other rationalizations needed. It’s going to cost 80% of what I paid for my winter house, and I honestly don’t…

“Porsche built its first diesel ten years ago”

Neutral: Buying used is great when what you want is a readily available vehicle with the transmission and options you want. Otherwise, it’s buy new or compromise. Example: a low mileage Sportwagen with a manual transmission isn’t a very common vehicle, especially if you don’t want to travel hundreds of miles to find…

Lol, “missteps”. Proven twin-turbo V6 racing engine, nevermind the EcoBoost label.

Total Service Level Agreement....TSLA

To your point, look at how Tesla is trying to “reinvent” the car (especially the Model 3) with excessive amounts of changes — rather than incrementally ease the public into it, which is the better approach. Yes, they’re still getting orders, but if I’m on Tesla’s board, I’m going to be concerned about what happens…

My phone goes where I can’t see it while driving.

Honestly, I’m a lot more satisfied with this update than most of the previous ones, because it sounds like the dude is making progress and that his attitude has improved dramatically. More than that, he realizes that the cars that he left in his yard for decades aren’t in the same condition he thought they were in…

Lotus is currently making the 3-Eleven.

Nothing in a German car is easily replaceable, except for the oil filter.

I just rent cars now when I need them so I get pretty decent exposure to a variety of infotainment systems.

I have no problems with the software (except Cadillac, they can go die).
