If I’ve got nothing better to do, riding around town in an air conditioned car, jamming tunes, meeting people and making a few bucks INTO my bank is a better use of my time than sitting on the sofa watching TV, or sitting in a bar drinking beer and taking a few bucks OUT of my bank account. It’s my time, and I should

There are 3 fundamentals - 1: If I ran Uber or Lyft, if this thing passes, shut the thing off - y’all are walkin’ - calamity ensues at the consumer level. 2: What about my freedoms as an entrepreneur? Can I not choose to use my time as I see fit? Is it not my right to lose money sometimes and make money other times? In

I could actually get all on this car at this price.  It isn’t a hard project, and by spring, that thing would make a grand or two on the flip. Nice Price. Nice Project.

Literally - they’ve figured out how to make a black car get dirty in the fastest possible manner - no more waiting 5 minutes after waxing to wonder why I bought a black car again...instant ungratification

a mazda that starts rusting out immediately is a better option for you then - think of all the weight and fuel savings over time....support: I own a late model Mazda. What’s your support for ‘crappily-built car’ that has little to no data and has only been on the market for about a hot second?

FWIW, you could have a 2018 or even a 2019 Buick Regal Sportback - an equivalent car with less miles, more toys and more panache - for well under 20 Grand CPO Warranty and all. Gramma gonna be just fine

these are total nightmares to work on - not at all engineered with service in mind.

that catalyzed paint will kill ya, your dog and your family if you’re not real careful. But it does turn out a hell of a high quality garage job.

This ain’t worth a third of the ask for sure. These weren’t all that good when new.  I’d drive it, yup.  Hoon the hell out of it.  To me it’s better with crappy paint and warts - at $4-5 grand you betcha.  But unless there’s a bag of cash looking like $8 grand in the back seat, this is a pile of crack waiting to be

You mattered, Jessi.  Keep an eye on us up there.  We will remember you.

right - see here’s the thing - Pickup trucks. Fancy ones. They’re 70 grand. People aspire to that. People across ALL KINDS of demographics. People take out $1K a month loans to drive them...by the traincarload. And very few of them ever tow or haul or go offroad enough to justify, but the point is that these city boy

there’s no  logic in stupid, man.  just ‘cause some people, or even a lot of people do stupid stuff and say it’s OK to each other, doesn’t make it not stupid. 

people pay a lot of money for heroin and think it’s a good deal for them - you can’t play this game on emotions, you play it on facts, and the facts are that 1: it ain’t that good and 2: I don’t want heroin either. it’s crack pipe on facts....it’s a very used 12 year old toyota.  That kind of money buys a LOT of

I just sold my Lincoln MKS - it’s major downfall was 2 things. A wonky capacitance touch HVAC panel that couldn’t be repaired OR replaced (and I would have much preferred a knob anyway), and it’s real fatal flaw - 19 inch wheels with low profile tires that made it ride like crap even in comfort setting on the

a LOT of car for the money, because the money is real short  - I had one - Liked it a lot.  Seat didn’t fit me well, so I traded for an MKS because I’m a little to large for the MKZ in a winter coat.   MKZ was a better car though. 

that’s exactly what I said down below.  

What Cadillac needs is more Brougham. That’s what made them money. That’s what the people need and if they could just realize it, that’s what people actually want. The world would be a much more chill place if we didn’t spend all our time ‘riding the edge’ and ‘pushing the envelope’ and ‘fighting for xxxx’ and such.

let us know if you end up liking the cooper AT3's - on paper they are great. In my experience, they were crap to own and run - great looking tire with NO actual traction and too much noise for what they are - I traded them for a different tire within 2000 miles of putting them on.

That’s far too logical for the audience (drivers or consumers) - but absolutely 100% correct. I drove happily and quite profitably in my ‘slack time’ in Chicago for 2 years - until a year ago when it became obviously a case of the ‘juice not worth the squeeze’. Until supply of drivers is restricted (either by drivers

wish I knew....
