I’m sure it’ll be like the new Tacoma was. Markups when they first started showing up, less than a year later they are available for thousands off. Early buyers pay the impatience markup. 

If they lost both engines they would have wanted to keep the gear up to reduce drag to get to the airport. They should have dropped it once they were sure they were going to make it, but leaving it up is the right action. I don’t think that was the case though, the thrust reversers were deployed, and that would have…

Just another Tesla announcement to boost the stock and get people to give them interest free loans. Nothing to see here. 

Invest in earplugs, and never get on a motorcycle without them. Even the quietest helmets are still loud enough at speed to damage your hearing. Wearing earplugs doesn’t block you hearing cars, people talking, etc etc etc, but it does filter out wind and road noise, and allows the stuff coming in from that Cardo to be…

That would be the case if the transmission failed unexpectedly, etc. That’s not the case here. The seller filled the frame with spray foam and did everything he could to conceal that this vehicle was unsafe. Yes, they should have at least laid down and looked under it, or insisted that it get put on that lift, but…

Holy shit man. Thanks for putting that in my head.

Shame about that transmission, but NP. I had a 2001 C4 Cab with a manual and 120k for 3yr. It was a great car. Reliable, comfortable, great handling and great power. People complain about the interior and the headlights, but the headlights grew on me and I loved how the car looked. The interior was comfy, functional,…

Were you expecting a list every individual thing that  I don’t agree with on an article that is specifically about a single tax credit?

That’s a good way of looking at it. 

Pretty wide gulf between fire and roads and my neighbor’s Model Y. 

Didn’t even read it, did you?

Well, yeah. Should taxes be used to pay for individual’s cars though? I ask that as someone who owns an EV that got the tax credit (via lease) in 2021. I loved saving money, but tax payers shouldn’t have covered that.

I’m glad that all of the country’s problems have been solved so we can finally move on to debating airport names in Congress.

Thanks Chief. At a time when I’m seeing 4.9 in my savings, and my investments are doing well, it would be stupid to pay cash for cars most of the time(although with rates being high if I were to buy right now I’d probably just purchase outright). A responsible person knows how to use credit intelligently and grow…

That’s how you do it. Cheap or free money and/or short terms. 

No, YOU can’t afford it. Someone else may have no problem affording that $1000+ payment and may be doing so because the interest rate was good and/or the term is short. That’s the thing about people talking about their car payment, that number is irrelevant without the rate and term. 

Wrong EV company for that. 

Wow.

Not a CX9, but we replaced the tires on my wife’s EV with Crossclimate 2s, and didn’t see much of a mileage impact at all, and that car saw a real impact just from being a few PSI low on pressure.

Direct sales  means no markups.
