This is also very conveniently timed with the recent Space Force announcement and will help provide justification for the existence of Space Force.

$500+ a month on a car payment is not normal. It’s people living beyond their means that is normal. 

This is the correct take - living within your means is so uncool nowadays.

I don’t get it, either. I’ve got a pretty high salary and only one kid, and I’m still usually looking at used stuff in the $20K-30K range. Then again, people seem to talk like $500+ a month for a car is normal, so I guess I’m just out of touch.

wtf David? seen a doctor lately?

Tires.  You can mod the crap out of everything else on your car, but if you can’t grip, you’re just wasting your money.  I finally got a set of summer tires this year, a bit wider than stock, and I can take a corner like I never could before.  It feels like a completely different car.  Always start with tires.

You hassled The Hoff, didn’t you?

I’ve got a Genesis. I know the resale is lousy, knew it when I bought her and don’t care. I bought it thinking long term ownership. I’m on 78k miles and have had zero problems. She’s a dream. Low cost of ownership, insure, and that 4.6L V8 still pounds like the day I jammed it off the lot. At some point, perception…

Sounds like you need a new girlfriend.

I mean, when you wake up winning at life, you pretty much have an excuse to do shoeys all the time.

I’m probably an “old” to Alicia because I just turned 30, but this article is utterly ridiculous. If your parents are stupid, there’s probably a good chance you are too. If your parents are reasonably intelligent people they’ve adapted to change like anyone would and likely have pertinent information to pass on.

Hey, ragging on the olds is one of the few acceptable kinds* of bigotry left. Because us grey-haired types are all. exactly. alike. (dontcha know)

There are still things that I certainly will ignore when my dad is talking about them but I can’t tell you the number of times I have looked back and thought, man he really knew what he was talking about and I should have listened. As I grow older I learn how much I didn’t know when I was younger and there is…

How about as a fun way to give to charity? Which is why this happened. 

That’s fine. They’ll be dead soon enough and you can get back to your self involved life.

I’ve lived my whole life in souteast Michigan. I’m excited about this, but the gentrification comments are going to come in waves now. Here’s the issue I have with that. Is Detroit not allowed to have nice things? Does it have to stay shitty to keep the poors happy? I get it. I’m an advocate of the poor, but not at…

I have the best taste. Everybody is saying that. In fact, some people say that I have better taste than anyone ever.

You’re complicating this. This is nice, but it’s much much simpler.

1. Buy model / toy cars
2. Remove from packaging
3. Display them on your desk or shelf, or move them around on your desk while you’re on the phone
4. Make car noises
5. Offer zero fucks.
