Agreed. I am willing to buy a nice car but it is still an acceptable percentage of income for me. I also only buy used cars now and this makes it a whole lot less painful. Letting someone else take that initial 1st year hit just feels better.

Great points. And proven even more by the fact that 8 year financing of cars is becoming rampant in North America.

You’re just wise

Such an amazing scene. Did not see that one coming.

Agree on all your points. And I might be getting old but none of the new features are game changers for me personally.

I agree that net worth limits are a better financial planning idea...but I bet most use their salary as a gauge

Nothing has come close.

She’s a lucky woman!

I paid half in cash and half financed. It changes the math a bit I agree (depending on how you look at it), but it still gives a better perspective on how much people are willing to leverage for a car. I would imagine the percentage might be higher for Jalop readers than the average person (maybe)

This is probably more useful as a conversation around percentage of net worth or income. Those making $50k/year are likely going to have a different answer than those making $250k/year so it is difficult to determine what to compare.

This stopped me from upgrading. Hope it gets fixed soon as it is SO frustrating.

I can honestly say I have learned more from bad bosses than good ones (and have learned a ton from good ones). They have taught me exactly what not to do to be a good leader.

That guy looked supremely satisfied with his ride

For what it’s worth, I have a 4 year old car with an alcantra steering wheel. I clean it once a year and it still looks brand new and feels great. No wear marks whatsoever. I cannot say that about the leather steering wheels I have had in the past.

You don’t work in business do you? This is a ludicrous idea and you would be fired on the spot for suggesting it at senior leadership levels in a Fortune 100. Stick with flipping burgers.

You are correct, not sure why I typed that. Thanks

Thanks for the clarification

From what I understand... Nitrous Oxide emissions are a priority for the US and CO2 emissions are a priority for Europe. So in the US, I would assume this fix will reduce the Nitrous Oxide emissions but increase the amount of CO2 (and vice versa in Europe). The car will then adhere to emissions restrictions in each…

Do you mean empty the suitcase, lock it and then put the keys in the safe? If so...that’s a MUCH better idea. Thanks!
