It easy to forget about the bill you don’t have to pay and focus on the one that is due. I am bracing for my first electric/gas bill in the eight months since switching to solar. I will just sum up all the utility bills for the same period from prior year, and then decide.

Consider, just what does that mean in the used car market? Are there standards? Any reference to a curated cars by Cars & Bids is just sales talk.

Thank you for that example. Amazing for the price/value. It really puts this posting on the tail end of the curve and shows how absurd it is. 

I don’t think he was looking for an antique. 

I live in a neighborhood that at present time could not afford to buy into. However, your statement are very classic and ironic. On one hand is the concept that these United States are the land of the free, and the other the announcement that there should be a law against that. Like it or not, whomever owns…

IF you do get a better purchase price from the dealer, that is the cost to be financed is lower, then consider going with it. Afterall, there is nothing preventing you from refinancing you car from you credit union. The assumption being that you have already a firm idea of why type of rate you could get from other…

While I don’t agree with the choices made on this car, this is the TDI version to get. My daily is a ‘01 Mk4, but with a 2 ltr gas engine. 

That is downright brilliant! Considering that it is the states’ interest to have only safe vehicle to be registered and transferred, AI could easily flag such vehicles.

I had the same thing happen in Florida. At night, in the rain, the semi in front just ran over a gator. By the time you can make out a gator in your lights it is too late. On a rainy two lane road with guardrails on both sides there was no place to go. No median and hardly a chance to react. With canals on both sides…

Agreed. I know it is difficult on new car models that are just available for testing, but some type of measure of likely or real prices would be welcome. Add a 20% mark-up and you are indeed in 911 territory.

He looks like a young Jeremy Clarkson. 

After trying an X1 for the weekend, I can’t imagine who would put up with such a vehicle with even just one kid to haul around. I couldn’t. With a horribly thick C pillar, it is a dark hole back there.

How dare the rider get in the way of the speeding Mercedes!

It should be interesting to see how much this event will cost taxpayers. Years from now, when all the claims have wound their way through the courts, it may well be in tens of millions. I can’t imagine what car theft would be worth endangering the lives of so many people, let alone a 5-year-old.

Perhaps. Though sometimes 2+2 <4; meaning that despite the sum of its parts, it is not worth it! All the parts would have to be carefully removed, and they are still used.  Think of the “discount” as that inherent cost. 

VW & Porsche, weren’t we here about 20 years ago? I recall Porsche wanting to buy/control VW, then it got bought in turn. The more things change….

Some of the nicest cars and trucks in my neighborhood are belong to renters. Though it makes me wonder where their priorities lie, I can understand the other side of the argument. I mean if you can’t afford a house is today’s market, why not spend the extra on you ride and enjoy it.

Poor internal controls Honda. Pretty well screwed that relationship. This is exactly what bonuses are supposed to avert . Good luck!

Only $0.60 here in SoCal. Not so bad considering it is taxed more than gas and you go 1/3 further. 

What? And there was no Old Masters painting in the trunk?
