“Bonded” by my dad telling me I didn’t get wrenches fast enough and that they weren’t the correct sizes.

“We were a few miles past the exit for Palmah when the engine started to sputtah.”

No. He knew what he was doing. The cars were weird random auction leftovers.  Usually 10 years old. 

Formerly worked at a dealership. Sold new and used. At one point we brought in a salesman that “specialized in problem credit customers”.

The sheer amount of detail that is needed to track this type of thing is staggering. I did map editing with Waze for a while(this was years ago, so it’s possible things may have changed), and I always found it hilarious what people would report as problems. The available accuracy of GPS, coupled with the variability…

Home field advantage. 

My approach is significantly lower tech.

Find a rowing machine. No one ever uses the Fucking rowing machines 

Hate the player, not the game.

You might think that having your car detailed won’t make a difference in your life...

I think it’s real AND fake. It was probably written as a joke to this guy because they noticed he drove a shitty car, and they wanted to bust his balls about it.  The company is probably in a materialistic vertical where they are obsessed with who has the newest shiniest [thing].  

I purchased a very well done highly modified R56 Mini from a Rolls Royce, Bently, Austin Martin,... name your exotic dealer.

Because they can.

Not sure why anyone is surprised. The majority of people who buy these will probably never drive them fast enough(or at all) for it to matter.

What if they used a retrofit reader? Basically like a skimmer. It gets the chip reader and maybe makes it harder to put a skimmer over a skimmer....

I originally had a whole thought about what you’re saying but removed it because I was rambling. Essentially, I think what it boils down to is that we love our “Freedom”, but part of that is that we’re very selfish.

car = I can get in and go wherever I want, whenever I want. I’m in control. I can talk to myself in peace, practicing arguments that I may have one day, or replaying things that I should have said. I can listen to whatever music I want to, or talk on my (hands free) phone without worry.

PRETEND TO BE STUPID....

I really dislike this stuff. If you need to attach some financial value to the work you do by parenting, its either insecurity, resentment, etc

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. Currently, if you withdraw, you have to report it as income, pay the taxes, AND pay a 10% penalty, finally you suffer the results of not having that money earning interest.
