The car flipping on C&B really grinds my gears. It’s not just the slimy practice of the flippers, but that Doug took his car nerd enthusiasm and credibility and parlayed it into a medium that has enriched him and warped the market for cool cars that shouldn’t have become so exclusive or unobtainable. Don’t get me…

They want to decide themselves when they're tired? That's EXACTLY the reason we need all this shit. Regular cars share the road with these monster vehicles, and having all those trucks out there being potentially driven by unmonitored guys doing lines of coke off the dash to meet a delivery is terrifying. 

The industry screwed itself.

This story was shrug worthy to me until I got to the “I’ll enjoy the new car but my payment on that one will be higher as the down payment is now lower.”

Contributing to the tax base is completely meaningless when you’re warping the real estate market so badly that you’re pushing everyone out of the market who should actually be in it. And I am not of the ilk that corporations are people — their actions need to be regulated to protect us. Homes should be for people to…

The new owner still spent $8500 over sticker for a now used car, lets not gloss over that.

As good as this car is, it is not worth $48K, sorry.

I care much less about people doing it to a Hummer EV or some other type of novelty vehicle only bored rich guys buy, but a GR Corolla is something that can be realistically obtained by an enthusiast with a steady job. Flipping cars like that doesn’t sit right with me. 

They’re doing the automotive equivalent of ticket scalping. They win some, they lose some, but they are all losers. 

Fuck em

Foreign investors and even real estate investment groups should be banned from buying single-family homes. Period. It serves no purpose but to enrich far-away investors, further shrink impacted housing inventories, and make it even harder for real people to buy homes. I have seen a number of homes sold in my…

When Seattle had their primary boom not long ago, there was a major issue with foreign businesses literally just buying houses with cash, sitting on them for 6 months to a year, and then re-selling them. The city tried to pass laws that required some level of residence, but they all got shot down in court while I was…

Still searching for any shits to give about this chud...

The thing I hat, and this really grind my gears. Is people buying cars with no intention to keep them and just to sell them. I can’t say how many times I’ve gone through the auction sites and seen new cars with less than one tanks worth of mileage on them being sold (I remember there was a huge craze back with the…

This is the feel-good story we all wanted to read about. Car flipper thinks he could make a quick $3000 only to lose a lot more. It’s still a fucking Corolla. Once aftermarket pricing breaks in to a higher segment, people will just buy a higher segment car. Like a Supra, for example.

Just as long as we can still get some more “James May, Our Man In...” shows, I’ll be satisfied.

Republicans are more invested in the so-called culture war than actually doing any legislating and governing. While I don’t think this bill would ever pass, the idea that Wyoming politicians introduced it would mean that they get to stay in office even longer because they are 100% pandering to their voter base.

It’s always funny when tiny little pip-squeak states like Wyoming and the Dakotas think that their opinions on these things matter in comparison to states like California and New York, which are actual global economic powerhouses.
