I have no idea what their branding is anymore. They’re not performance cars. They’re not overly luxurious. They’re not affordable. Their dealerships are like any other non-luxury american brand. They don’t do any one thing really well. Why would anyone buy a caddy over a german car or a mazda?

Purpose isn’t to compensate customers; purpose is to penalize companies pushing out shoddy products. Class actions are expensive, so in theory a company does right by their product to avoid them.

BMW’s (both BMW proper and Mini) MTX are fine when cold

I’ve taken shortcuts a few times, but after I came across a caliper that required you to turn the tool counter-clockwise (and not clockwise like every other car ever), I’ve at least flipped through the manuals ever since, at least the first time I’m doing a particular job on that car. Besides, they have the torque…

When you buy a car you’re going to wrench on: (1) Buy the Haynes manual; (2) Buy the Chilton manual; (3) spend the time to find the PDF of the full service manual. Then when you’re tackling a particular project, you can review all 3 along with forums and youtube videos.

He’s a troll, or more precisely, a pigeon playing chess. It’s not that they’re smart/stupid enough to actually believe the contents of their semantic argument, they just repeat them without thinking, and their interactions with their fellow faux news consumers are just a circle jerk of catch-phrases. E.g.“har de har…

This is conservative whataboutism at it’s best. BLM should be read as “Black Lives Matter Too” not “only black lives are important.” But everyone knows that. They’re just being shit-heads. They’re not arguing in good-faith, they’re just trying to distract with other issues that they also don’t want to solve. Mention…

To keep that E93 M3 running just be prepared to spend $2k-3k to replace the rod-bearings and always keep an extra quart of 10w-60 in the trunk. Don’t forget to curse the German engineers for taking away the dipstick so it’ll take 20 minutes to measure the oil level

You dumb fucking cunt. The death toll has been kept low specifically due to the stay at home orders. 

HOA’s aren’t the problem. The people who ordinarily run the HOA are the goddamn worst bunch of Karens/Chads in the world. The sort who shouldn’t be trusted with even a modicum of power, because it goes to their head. They write their own rules and then enforce them in whatever malicious way they see fit. They can…

It’s the opposite. Under the bill, people who have to pay an arm and a leg before their coverage kicks in will be able to get tested without paying aforementioned arm and leg.

The majority of loans are serviced for the federal government. Over 90% is owned by the tax payers, at a little over $1.5T. That’s what the Trump tax plan cost. Repeal it, use the savings to pay for loan forgiveness. Besides, you’re dumping that money straight back into the economy. The majority of Americans have an…

It’s not government healthcare. It’s government insurance. You go to your regular doctor. They bill the government. Like every other 1st world country. Prices are able to decrease because the Government isn’t trying to profit. Private health insurance companies are not in the business of paying bills and getting…

It’s the same fallacious argument as those who say they refused a raise “cuz it would have put me in a higher tax bracket!” People don’t stop making additional money just because it’s taxed.

“Listen, if we start from a place of reasonable, and they start from a place of crazy, when we settle we’ll be somewhere between reasonable and crazy. Which is still crazy. Half of crazy is still fucking crazy”

The Democratic nominee has practically 0 effect on the Republican turn out. That’s because Republicans consistently turn up to every single election. They’re a minority group that stays in power because of a lack of sufficient opposition. Yes, they are unequivocally guilty of suppressing potential voters,…

“Mexico will pay for it”

It’s not a scam, it’s a game that most people don’t know how to play. If you’re disciplined enough to not overspend your budget and you pay off your credit cards in full every month; then it’s free rewards/money. Unless you’re going to buy every vehicle and home with cash, then it’s a necessary evil. Even if you could…

You’re right, I should clarify. Given that there’s about 56 million abortions performed annually (per WHO), statistically no one uses abortion as a form of birth control. It’s not the sort of fun thing people like going through. It’s either an invasive surgical procedure, and even the non-surgical abortion pill which…

States with both proper sex education classes (more than just “abstain”) and that make it easier to obtain an abortion generally have far lower abortion rates than more restrictive states. No one WANTS to get an abortion or uses it as a form of birth control. Pro-choice doesn’t even mean that you’re pro-abortion, it…
