Thank you. What if you simply took your $2k downpayment, and then saved your first 2 car payments?

I get your point. Wholly. It’s just odd to me that on Jalopnik there would be so many people willing to just pay $20k to “not have to deal with” breakdowns.

As a Saab owner, comes onto Jalopnik. Sees Jalops talking about why they shouldn’t buy a rare care because cost to maintain it. Leaves Jalopnik and wonders where it all went so wrong.

I CAN’T SPEND $2000 ON REPAIRS! Buys new car to pay $400/month to not have to repair anything.

My brain you guys. My fucking brain.

Right! Like... I get that it’s risk management, but really... is this system considered effective?

Gold.

I don’t disagree, but that system isn’t setup for success.

Maybe this isn’t the venue but Flash Flood warnings in the Raleigh NC area are dangerous and inaccurate. Literally every time it rains we get FF WARNINGS (not watches) which implies that some action needs to be taken to spare life and property. I’m not aware that anything damaging ever actually occurs (though the…

They’re different than the ones in Europe friend. The ones here are USDM specific and not at all the same.

After this did they use a hydraulic press to press the scraps together and then sharpen it into a knife?

Lol... my Google Voice number is where I GET all my spam calls.

Did you buy my Volvo? lololol

Haha no... because you’re talking about getting something 15 years newer for the price. What beigemobile from 2005 for $3k is more worth keeping alive than a solid maxima? To be clear... who cares about this car! But TO BE CLEAR who cares about a car from 2005?

Leave Jalopnik immediately.

But making it regulatory isn’t the answer. I shouldn’t NEED the feds to tell me I need this thing. It should just be a GD THING! Moreover... it’s regulatory, but do people use it or is it automatic?

Fucking god damn adjustable pitch headlamps! WHY? Because EVERY JACKASS who owns a truck that mods their suspension or hoows a trailer to it just causes their headlamps to go directly into my soul. My EVO has changeable pitch headlamps in case I put people in the back seat and the GD bilstein suspension that’s…

Hahahaha... I wanted to like it. But it was just sooooo so pointless. It was like... let’s hurry up and get him into the Avengers.

Black Panther was really dumb. Fight me.

As someone fond of the 49ers... yes. But also no way. Troy Aikman is a legendary player. He is inarguably and quintessentially a Cowboy. Kap... while I personally quite liked him is just some other player that the league and owners decided (unjustly) to loathe. Had it been Montana, or Young... then yes.

My example…

It would be really interesting if (using an analog that doesn’t seem to exist currently) a player like Troy Aikman knelt during the anthem to see what repercussions would come down. Couldn’t JJ suggesting that everyone is fired if they don’t do the national anthem thing really be him suggesting that the Cowboys pretty…

It is. But it still hurts when you crash your bike. And it’s still hard to get back on the bike.
