I am trying to do my part. I taught my wife a few years ago. I am in the process of teaching my 13 year old. And my 3 year old will learn when he can reach the pedals.

Currently on sale? I’d have it be the CT5-V Blackwing. It’s the last V8 manual caddy is going to produce, so I’m sure it’ll charge a premium.
The 5th gen Camaro non refresh (2010-2013). Will forever be tied to bumblebee, limited production years, retro design that is aging very well, and LS v8
Any manual sports car.
To be fair, $30k in 1997 is about $60k now. This was a pretty nice ride in ‘97.
Could be a flipper, could be a collector, could be a guy unsatisfied with the $50,000 minimum price of buying a new AWD minivan.
Because kids that grew up riding around in one of these death traps now have money to burn (clearly) and want to relive their youth. This is a awful automobile and is legit junk. My parents had one in the early 90's and it fell apart within 2 years. If you want to see something fun pull up a crash test on one of these…
I think the text on those stickers is too small for someone to actually be able read that at a safe following distance from your vehicle.
Don’t install a dash cam. Install 2, front and rear. Single front cam is not enough anymore. I have dual dash cams on both of my cars, worth every penny. That’s how I caught a valet hitting my car against a column in a garage. Fucker tried to hide the fact. Once I told them I have 2 dash cams recording non-stop, they…
I’ve had a (thankfully) small number of situations with other aggressive drivers repeatedly trying to cut me off or brake check me, and I pointed in a very exaggerated manner to my front dashcam and then did the fingers to the eyes and then to them “I’m watching you” motion...in all cases, they raced away after…
A nice side effect of my dashcam is that is makes ME a more, umm, polite driver. Any time I get fired up by others’ stupidity, I think, do I really want to record my own aggressive response?
Exactly- the tradesman who shows up in the bro-dozer f-350 king bullshit edition is gonna cost you cost you, the humble contractor in the beat up 90's truck is going to do it right, himself, and save you a pretty penny.
I’d argue that he probably doesn’t need to be spending money on anything else right now, not even a used Corolla. Jason should focus on meeting his financial obligations (rent, bills, etc) and paying down his existing debt.
When people say that they need material things like a car to boost their “image”, what they are really talking about is their own perception of themselves. It’s not really about how other people actually feel about them, it’s about how they think other people feel about them. It’s ultimately about self worth.
Still, I’ve got to respect him. The amount he’s lost in one car is more than I’ve lost in all of them. I assume that must take real talent.
These numbers are mind boggling. He went from making big money, by my standards to not much more than I make now. He bought a billionaire’s car on a thousandaire’s income and now has as much negative equity on his car as I have positive equity in my house. He makes the TikTok lady look almost sensible. He doesn't…
I mean, if you just need it for “image” then just rent it on the few occasions you need the image.
Sam Walton drove a late 70s F-150 while Wal-Mart was expanding. Walton’s image wasn’t in his vehicle; it was in the business of his stores.
My feeling about buying “toys” is that you should be able to afford the toy outright without needing a loan. Not saying you should ultimately buy it that way, but you should be able to endure that financial impact; everyone should evaluate their own financial situation, what interest rates are, and what other…
