But better below 45 doesn’t mean all-seasons are unsafe below 45, or even below freezing. And it definitely doesn’t mean it’s worth it to spend $1,000 on winter tires just because your average winter temperature is 40F. And no ice does not begin to form on pavement at 45 degrees, it begins to form at 32. Ice IS…

I know about the whole youtube algorithm thing, but it’s still annoying to me. When he was getting started he had like 3-4 projects he was working on and had regular videos, now it’s like once a month and his updates are “well this is still broken, I’m waiting on this part” I get it, car work takes time, but if I want…

Yes and no. If you’re spending $500 on winter tires it’s probably just the tires, so you gotta mount and balance them. It’s a bigger investment to have them on wheels which also means you need a place to swap them yourself. My wife’s car uses her stock wheels for both summer and winter, we swapped them when we had our…

I get that this was a promotional thing for your article and yes the VikingContacts are awesome (we had them on our 4Matic A220), but...

Well Scotty Kilmer is taken so...

Either you guys were much better prepared for selling EVs at the Tesla center or people had different expectations going into a car equivalent of an Apple store, probably a bit of both.

While I’m not an EV buyer I really hope Polestar succeeds. Other than the new grille the 2 looks awesome and funky and I would much rather see those all over than Model 3 and Ys...

I’ve said that for a long time about the G-Wagon too. If you’re going to spend over $100k on an off-road cosplay truck just for the looks (or even if you take it offroad since they’re seriously capable) you’re going to have a much better time driving, maneuvering, and parking with a G-Wagon, particularly the old…

Nah I think these youtubers are smarter than you give them credit for. They know how to build an audience, just like TikTokers do. How many videos are there of people “discovering” something that’s been around forever that go viral and have multiple articles written about them?

Which is dependent on having a favorable risk pool. The higher risk the pool of insured is and the higher exposure the less exposure reinsurance companies will take and the higher premium they will charge.

They will go up but they’re not going to double, and there’s fewer risks they’d be willing to take.

It’s amazing on ice cream, I’m definitely going to give it a try.

Nope. We went through all our streaming subscriptions for what to reduce quality, share, or cut, Prime was an automatic keep because of the shipping.

I’d argue that Prime is even more of a net benefit because of no minimum purchase to get the free shipping. It helps you from overspending at other places just to get the shipping

Prime doesn’t charge extra for shipping without a minimum purchase amount. We only need to make a few purchases a year to cut the effective cost of the app in half. Who tf cares about ads? I’ll watch them as a way to avoid yet another price increase from all these services, if it really bugs me I’ll pay the extra…

No, insurance companies (at least the high volume ones) will write state minimum policies all day long. It puts the cap very low so even if they lose money on a high risk driver it won’t be much. I’ve seen liability rates get capped on drivers with violations or accidents plenty of times, it’s too big of a risk to…

I agree that there’s personal responsibility involved, I have an umbrella as well which even includes UM/UIM. But subrogation only works so well when they can just close up shop and open up under a different name elsewhere. And that $750k is a combined single limit most likely, and with truck accidents often involving…

Well even though my opinion is that this thing isn’t even worth $50k brand new, there are definitely enough dumbasses in line for one of these that will pay well above MSRP for the opportunity to have one now.

I’m sure the fact that the whole resale fine thing is there was taken into account. Here’s what I bet happened, the guy making the offer went to a manager because of no comps, the manager pulls in the one sales guy or manager that’s actually a car enthusiast and spends his free time on sites like this, and he…

Oh I’m so sorry, Broseph, that I said “you were right” instead of “I was wrong.”
