The poor credit culture is expanding, as the population of people with either no financial savvy or just the lack of desire to pay bills first and play after grows. There is a lack of short term thinking in so many people’s financial habits, it is shocking. Financial literacy needs to be taught in school.

I am too. This final design isn’t that great. I’d love to see the rejected design.

The biggest mistake that many people make is to have fun first, then pay the bills. They go out to eat, buy nice clothes, go on vacation, then go “I don’t have money for the cable bill!”

Everything about the Transformers movies is ridiculous.

The i3 with the range extender is theoretically capable of long drives, but once the charge runs out you are stuck constantly refilling the 1.9 gallon gas tank - which doesn’t get you very far.

Uber is 1/2 the price of a cab, Ubers come much more quickly, and usually in nicer cars, and no money changes hands, all done on the app with a credit card.

Back in the day at the Hyundai store I used to work at, the managers ran a “key” mailer. They hired a promotion company to mail out flyers with keys stuck to them. The gimmick was to come in and if the key started the car in the showroom, you won the car. To make it legal the promotion company had to mail out an…

Most automakers seem to be in a funk lately. FCA is burning every last dollar on mediocre Italian models while letting Dodge and Chrysler die, Honda Toyota and Nissan have produced a string of questionable designs on old platforms. GM is hit or miss on their latest designs, Ford seems bent on returning to the bad old…

This Celica came late to the party, ready to compete with the 1994 Acura Integra GS-R, but 5 years too late. Right after the Celica came out, Acura introduced the RSX Type-S and the Celica was toast.

Are we even using quality materials to repave our roads? Everywhere I go in my state the tar seems to be shrinking, so a few years after a new paving job the tar has separated and created gaps in the road. Also, the concrete sections of highway (put down decades ago) seem to be holding up just fine, yet the tar we put…

We could just replace the gas taxes with a flat annual fee per car. Then it wouldn’t matter what fuel they used.

Reminds me of the 2013 MOPAR Dodge Darts with the driver’s seat blue and the rest being black.

Must be a Ford thing. When I sold Fords we had an Escape come in with V6 on one side and Hybrid on the other, and we had another Escape come in with Mariner taillights.

People are overreacting about Buick. Not everything Buick sells is from Opel. The Cascada is most likely a one generation model anyway, the current Regal is not a sales success, and with sedan sales crashing, the new probably won’t be either, The Encore sells, but really it’s not that good - GM should easily be able…

Comment of the Day

It is shocking that alleged shopping tools are actually misleading consumers and leading them to overpay for cars.

For those who like the look of a Ford Fusion but insist on a German badge.

That’s what I’m saying. People think they own the road right in front of them and can refuse to let people merge. It’s rude and dangerous.

Where I live there are plenty of poorly planned highways that require you to merge onto the highway, but get over 2-3 lanes immediately to stay on the highway. If everyone was an ass and thought they owned the little bit of road in front of them, it wouldn’t work at all. If someone needs to get over, LET THEM GET…

So an entire lane of traffic comes to a stop behind the guy trying to make a lane change because some assholes think they own the road? No.
