The configurator doesn’t even appear to cough up the final price with options

Or Chris “I-hate-the-Pelicans-for-some-reason” Thompson?!

There are lots of “overpriced” tuner Porsches my frugal brain can’t get around, but Canepa’s creations escape that scrutiny. I would throw all the money at them for a 959SC. Or the insane 993GT2 they had at the show, or this 934...

This is where I inform you that Toni Laren graduated from UNLV with a communications degree. If I have to know that useless trivia, so do you.

I mean... there’s nothing inherently prickish about the sport? It’s a physical activity you can play outside well into your 80's. It does good things for your brain chemistry when you hit a good shot. There’s math involved that may help stave off senility.

I’d like to think I’m the kind of father who would tell his son to get in the cart and leave the course right then and there. (I’d also like to think that I’m the type of person who would never join a Trump golf club even if it were in my backyard and I could afford it). 

First rule of the punching game is you gotta do it below the waist. This lady is an amateur! 

Yes, a better wording of mine would’ve been “don’t forget to fill up or prepay” lest you get stuck with a bill. My last two car rentals have been ideal for prepaying: long distance drives in unfamiliar states with narrow time windows. 

My car rental advice: PRE PAY FOR THE TANK OF GAS. “No, I’ll refill it myself right before drop off” you’ll say. But in reality drop off is not near a gas station, or you’re in a hurry, or the gas station you found on google maps is closed.... Next thing you know you’ve got an extra $150 charge for your rental Dodge…

My annoying Texan college girlfriend used to espouse that Texas was the only state who could fly their flag at the same height as the American flag, signifying equality. Now, in accordance with this Frank Zappa quote, they’re there. “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you…

What if we combine Patrick’s and Erin’s...

How many pretty engines are there these days? (Plz include pics with your answer). Porsche’s former 4.8L Cayenne TT looked pretty sweet. The Taurus SHO had a great intake manifold. Ferrari makes it a production, naturally... but what “regular” new cars still make an effort? 

The nature of brand loyalties is created by individual anecdotes. I had two Rams (2005 & 2006) in a small corporate fleet - not doing tough work - both had cracked dashes, squeaks, transmission trouble, etc. all before 100k. Comparatively I had an ‘04 F150 that was perfect until I sold it at 150k. The ‘07 Yukon that…

It’s a sentiment created by auto journalists driving brand new cars they never have to see again. Same reason the Dodge Ram wins some comparison tests: the writer has no idea how quickly it falls apart.  

.... and he’s selling 8 months after buying. 

I would be raising hell on a diminished value claim on a 2019 vehicle with $8k in repairs. Find a lawyer friend or some cheap young guy to put your words on their letter head. Be cordial and have some evidence: when I was shopping for a Cayenne I would do a cars.com search with my parameters and sort by lowest price.…

The contestation of estate value should NOT prevent any payments to be made to the heirs. Once you identify all the heirs - in this case it’s straightforward - the executor can file a motion to distribute funds. “The estate has a shit load of money, we can give each of these 6 people $1MM and be fine...” That’s how…

Twitter can show millions of people how smart, how witty or how dumb/ignorant someone is

What the fuck is going on with the decorating in that place? 

I’m sure that the function is also hidden behind a couple of infuriating sub-menus which will pretty much guarantee that nobody ever actually uses this function.
