Was at a Ford dealership that had put a $50k markup on a First Edition Bronco, pushing it north of $100k. On a fucking Bronco...

The only real hope we have is that the new Z sells a fuck-ton of manuals. If that happens, you may be able to get automakers to take notice and offer manuals in something besides their shittiest trim 4 banger model.

Vintage and antique, sure. But I’d imagine that’s the exception, not the rule

If your door knob is more than 10 years old and giving you problems, just buy a new one. They’re $20, it takes 5 minutes to install, and you’ll save an hour of your life diagnosing problems.

If you’ve never worked in sales (or bought something from a salesperson) you’d know that people are NOT logical creatures and frequently make decisions that do not maximize their financial best interests.

In certain markets (e.g. CA) it’s like being an average looking guy with an average build of average background/money trying to date on an app. The market is FLOODED with buyers, snapping up houses with all cash offers, 10 day closing no contingencies, forgoing inspections, offering $100k+ over asking. You have to do…

For once, men are getting the short end of the stick in a system/society/culture that is designed primarily for their benefit. And they lose their minds...

Meh, weight is a little different. For instance if a man is physically fit and enjoys hobbies that involve fitness (going to the gym, actual hiking, long distance bike rides) and wants a partner who also enjoys those things, then there’s nothing wrong with limiting the search to other gym fiends who get up at dawn to…

Tesla interiors, especially the 3 and Y.

“Depraved-heart” murder is where you don’t need to prove express intent to kill so long as there’s an act with an unusually high risk of causing death/great bodily injury. Speeding at 60-70 on an open stretch of road ain’t gonna qualify. It’s negligent, possibly reckless, but doesn’t rise to the type of “knowingly…

Missing some of the key items to keep your score from getting dinged: (1) pay your CC bills in full every month; (2) use no more than 30% of your max on any one card; (3) use no more than 30% of your max credit total.

“Less shitty rates” are important if you ever want to buy anything large. If you’re mortgaging $800k to buy a house at 6% you’re paying over $660k in interest over 30 years. Similarly, if you can get a 3% interest rate, you’re paying around $300k.

Disclaimers can only go so far and can provide some clarities to some vague/ambiguous statements. Adding in the lawyer-speak, the terms and conditions that you can’t fit in a sound bite, etc. You CANNOT use disclaimers to contradict the statement- that’s full blown false advertising and illegal in the US of A.

By your definition, there are no ethical places to smartly invest, since any worthwhile investment will necessitate making a profit at the expense of others.

If you have the requisite income to not be paycheck to paycheck- multiple accounts is the key (just like a business does). We have a dedicated checking account that direct deposit paychecks go into, and then money is immediately transferred to other accounts. Mortgage is paid from a second account that is on auto-pay…

Not a great metric. Go to any track school, the instructors are faster in Mazda 3's than you are in a 911...

Oh Supra... we wanted to love you. But so many problems... The base model has no guts and is the reason that 86 is underpowered; Japanese styling and German reliability (that’s not the exact opposite of what everyone wants...); you can’t row your own gears; you can’t open the windows...; and the model you would buy is…

Eastern and Western corruption are different. In the US, the corruption means a business can do pretty much anything without consequence or reprisal of government stopping them unless/until it’s something truly outrageous (and even then, some bribes WHOOPS “campaign contributions” make it go away). In China, a…

Why not a battery percentage and a mileage range? The current mileage range problem is that it’s only good if you’re doing a constant 65mph with no stops or breaks. But if you’re driving like a bat out of hell, you get maybe half of that.

Simple math. In order to turn a profit, the tourism fees and revenue needs to be great enough to cover hundreds of millions of dollars worth of repairs, and overhead costs of running a restaurant/hotel, and interest on the loans, with some surplus. That will never happen. That’s why it keeps getting sold by…
