Well, the main reason is tax implications of course, because it's the IRS. It specifically applies to business drivers, such as when buying a car for business purposes. The reasoning is for depreciation write offs. The regular (MACRS) depreciation period for business vehicles is five years, (six for tax return…

Nope, senior accounting student.

The IRS believes that any vehicle under 6,000 pounds that costs more than $15,300 is a luxury car.

Earlier this year I had a Camaro Z/28 for the day. Not your ordinary blue-collar American machine, but certainly a car whose roots lurk in the affordable category. I cannot tell you how enjoyable it was – a vast lump of metal which some lunatic had decided to turn into a track car, an on-paper eventuality about as…

I'll likely make an appearance.

I just got a summons for a Grand Jury... Besides doing what the summons said to do, is there anything to do before showing up?

So, can we cut 550 paracord like this? with another piece of paracord?

Hey Matt, why does the morning shift always have 5 forward gears? Can we have a Semi-Truck version with 18 gears, a Corvette version with a 7 speed manual? Vector version with 3 gears (for slow news days), or how about a DCT version, where they are basically just blerbs because you shift so fast... Don't do a CVT…

I'll take all of them please...

Ain't that the truth. For some really easy hemming, use an Iron-On thing.

If you find yourself doing a lot of (simple) stuff, it's probably worth learning to sew. Changing the hem on a pair of pants or a skirt takes an x-acto style hook blade for cutting the previous hem, a pair of scissors for cutting excess material, an iron for setting the new crease (if you can access a straightening…

Anyone who know's they are assaulting an armored vehicle knows they need something more than a 7.62 x 39mm. I'm partial to a .50 BMG if you must use a non-explosive.

Because racecar.

Is it strange that I think this looks better than both the F-22 and F-35? Just from a purely visual standpoint the proportions seem better.

Whitson is not entertained.

Oh, oops... I know I didn't check the Odometer. I thought Matt said it was Irv's during his speech.

lol well if you put it that way...

Put this kind of info on the ticket next time Matt, Wednesday had people wearing everything from a tuxedo (without the bowtie) and skimpy cocktail dresses to people wearing a T-shirt and jeans. Short of someone wearing coveralls (which if they had grease on them would have actually made sense) nobody quite knew what…

The marketing and advertising section of Gawker Media was there, disproportionately pretty as a whole. It was good.

Don't worry too much, all of the cars except for Irv's Volvo P1800 were replicas or otherwise fake, besides the brand new Volvo V60 they had by the entrance. They had an Indycar towards the back/kitchen where the front wing assembly was not actually attached, and it had a chip on the front left, where we could see it…
