Absolutely the wrong way to think of it. Putting $1000 into a $1000 car and you still have a $1000 asset. Buy a $25,000 car that you can’t afford and you have instant negative equity, probably around $4000. That is a net $5000 mistake.

It’s just the grumpy old uncle schtick. Most of the people he is mean too are stupid or in denial so I guess it is warranted.

My last 4 new car purchases: 2009 G37, 2003 Tundra, 2000 Audi S4, 1990 Miata. Because I am sane, I sold the Audi at warranty’s end. The rest are all good cars that cost virtually nothing to maintain so I just keep driving them.

Ramsey is a d!ck but his advice is usually right.

Miata Is Always The Answer

But really, who puts $300 a month into a used car? One-time $1200 repair maybe.

Well one is a super-successful engineer CEO and the other is a Slovenian escort.

TMZ saw Mary Barra handbag shopping with Melania.

Tesla stock hit $900 for one reason only - enough people believe that some sucker out there will pay $901. Tesla is doing well and is a growth company but their stock price is pure speculation at this point. When the music stops it will not be pretty.

GM takes risks: Corvair - rear aluminum engine, unibody, Fiero - mid engine, small, Toronado - front wheel drive V8, EV1 - all electric, Volt - electric with range extender, Hummer - offroad quasi military. How did those turn out?

I am increasingly drawn to exotic open top tourers such as this. The sun warms your neck while driving down a twisty tree-lined road that crescendos at a French country vineyard. Of course most trips would not be like that but a couple of times a year all the elements align and you capture the magic of motoring.

Agreed. The whole commercial was a tone-deaf fail.

Naming it just encourages it to stay around.

Is the original hemispherical, the interim parabolic, or the iconic geodesic?

The defense industry is just like every other industry, everybody wants their pet feature. The difference is that the defense industry is not actually constrained by time or budget (except during wars).

Uh, no. The base price was $13,700. It was never advertised for under $10k. I know because I bought one.

In 1990 I bought an A-package Miata brand new for $13,700.

Love me some Cosmo. Should have bought one years ago.

I once owned a blue R12 but alas, I didn’t have the R12K9.
