They are on the road for 50-60 hours a week. If they are in their lane and not making any changes they aren’t checking their mirrors at all. Other then what’s in front of them it’s just cruise control.

To be fair, a lien is really just the recording of a ownership interest resulting from a debt. So they do go hand and hand with debt. But the lien itself is not what effects your credit. It’s the debt itself and your payment history that effects your credit.

It reminds me vaguely of the shit trump does. Wasn’t he selling “trump” cards or something like that to raise money?

I’m guessing he is of the “I pay cash for everything” type of person.

I have a loan on both my properties and guess what... there isn’t a lien on my credit score either. Because liens aren’t reported to or reported by credit agencies. So I guess we’re not so different you and I.

nope, liens are not a consideration in ANY credit scores. It’s the LOAN (credit) that hits your credit score. Go check your credit report and tell me if you see any liens listed? I’ll wait...

There is no “simply paying off”. When a lessee buys a car at the end of a lease they are executing a buyout provision in the lease contract where the lessee has a right to buy the car at a stated value from the lessor. The lessee has that right per the contract, so they can always buy the car, but then the sale would…

I prefer a high quality fold up soft cover. It’s much lighter when I need to remove it (which is often if you actually use a truck as a truck) unless you’re OK with not being able to see out the back window at all.

Any car that doesn’t get you there and back.

If there was ever an appropriate place for copious amount of duct tape this is it.

Also extremely helpful when the bottom of your door rusts out but is hidden behind the cladding. Sill looks good.

So the Jag seems to kind of roll to a stop with the car on its hood. I would have imagine some emergency braking in that situation.

Yeah, I guess. I miss body on frame. It was simpler and easier to work on. But, I would never call it more capable.

“way more capable than its present-day car-based namesake” I ask, capable of what?

I’m sure they aren’t all bad, but it would seem silly to replace a couple and then have to go back in a year and replace more. If I had the time for another hobby I would have fun doing it myself. But I’ve got a couple decades before retirement and by then there won’t even be petrol to fuel my car anymore.

I’d like to give you a star both for your excellent explanation and for your handle. But I can only give you one.

B+ for creativity.

C4 Bose gold system had an amplifier on at each speaker (so 4 amps). there are about 7 capacitors on each one that all go bad and spill their guts all over the board... and I don’t have 20 hours to research what capacitors are needed, then find a place that will sell them to me, then buy the equipment to secure the…

no, always a goat, at least for the last 5 years.

I wouldn’t call it a double standard, because I would say the same of the US. Just not quite at the same level... as you pointed out.
