I accounted for the various loan forbearance programs in my math. Most people not in the industry are unaware that loan delinquencies were already up last year. Borrowers have been struggling for the last 10 months as high-interest, sub-prime loans have proliferated.

Yeah.

Of course, the 2nd wave of the Spanish Flu occurred just as the world was demobilizing from a world war, and sending millions of young men cramped on troopships all over the world. It was the perfect spreading ground for any infectious disease. Hopefully, the situation won’t be the same (but wait and see... only one…

Tom is full of it. We’re busy, we’ve been busy, the sky is not falling. It’s not us that was saying that, it was people who wished the sky would fall on dealerships. For whatever their reason was

It’s because we’re busy, people are out and the world is not going to fall apart no matter how many times “experts” tell us it is. 

Always cut towards your buddy, not your body.

they can use “F the environment” paint. Major car makers are stuck using low vapor paints that are either horrible, or epensive in time and money. 

Our soap box derby car uses a hockey puck.

It makes you wonder how cheap cars could be sold for here if there were no regulatory requirements at all. I bet someone could do a pretty decent $5,000 car. 

Hell, he could attach a shopping cart to the front and drive it through the aisles at the grocery store. 

I would expect a golf cart to last several years.

Always cut AWAY from your body, Torch!

How long before you come out of a store to find a petulant child sitting in it and a harrassed parent trying to find where to put the coins in?

I love that there’s a sign on the packaging material that reads, “Jason Torchinsky.” Like, who else could possibly be the intended recipient of this thing?

Obviously it’s the biggest story in years so I understand the coverage, it’s just that they seem pathologically averse to reporting anything that might remotely be seen as positive news. The guests are whoever is willing to throw out the grimmest worst-case scenario. I want them to drag back the people who were…

My brother had a “vanilla” Z4 with the 3.0 and 6 speed, it was so much fun and at one point, I considered it, but went with an E46 M3 coupe instead. Best decision ever made, but selling it was also the worst decision ever made. Cheers !

The lack of rarity is my issue here as well. If you’re talking Ferraris or similar exotics, there is a collectors market that absolutely will pay a premium for a car driven 60 miles a year (or less) and kept in climate controlled storage. Those cars are more like art in that they get valued as rare objects rather than…

New car experience? You can have the new car or the experience. Not both. If you experience it the new car portion goes away.

Owning this would make you Cameron’s unseen dad in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

WTF would you do with this and WHY would you want it? This is like marrying the most beautiful woman (or man; I don’t judge) in the world and then never having sex!
