Until it comes time to replace a worn premium part that has features you never used. You never paid the upgrade to use the adaptive m suspension, so when it comes due, you swap it with a cheaper alternative. You didn’t pay extra for the autobraking feature and get in a small fender bender. You’re not going to pay for…

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.

If Biden is elected, will you and the country be better off than we were in November of 2016? No. It’s true, things won’t get any worse under Biden. But you’re kidding yourself if you think we’ll get back to even.

Biden is an old school politician. He thinks republicans are just regular professionals like him, but with differing economic views. It’s not personal, it’s all in the game, because they’re all in the same country club. It’s poor form and uncouth to investigate your fellow country club members. “Let’s be grown ups and…

A candidate like Biden will stop the current shit show from getting any worse. We will not be better off than we were 4 years ago. Hell, he won’t even get us back to where we were January 2017. He’ll waste 4 years trying to convince Republicans to vote for common sense bills (they won’t), water down any meaningful…

Do you know why Republicans (state and fed) keep doing all of their corrupt shenanigans? Because there are no repercussions, they’re rewarded with the fruits of their schemes. They endlessly investigated Hillary to tarnish her future presidential aspirations; denied Obama’s court nominees to create a backlog; they…

I can give you eight billion reasons every quarter why we should kill the for profit health insurance system. 

You’ve read and ignored this plenty of times likely, so why don’t you see for yourself. Take a look at your actual pay stub. See that section that says “deductions- dental, vision, PPO/HMO”? See the money they’re taking out of your paycheck for that? That section goes away. Those charges go away. More money in your…

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…
