The AV Club has become a completely judgemental shithole, hasnt it? Is there a safe place for anyone these days? I cant walk out my front door without being ridiculed for something.

Uh, yah, thanks bud. I know how to find what I’m looking for. Just trying to point out to Andrew that he omitted a fairly important portion of his review.

“My neighbor across the street bought a Camry Hybrid this month, and I promptly made her regret her purchase decision.”

You’re assuming money is the only thing that matters.

You just ruined the placebo effect! I ain’t tellin about this article to my wife, no ma’am. I just moved a massive bag of heavy salts from the old house for her.

Nobody recommended Camellia Grill? Weird. Good hangover food. Also, JazzFest. It ain’t what it used to be in that it’s bigger and more of a production and it’s $$$, but it’s still awesome. Tipitina’s uptown is, for my money, my favorite place in the world to see live music.

You’re responding to arguments that I never made! If you need a loan, like I did, you should get one. If you can manage to pay cash, do that. This was a post working through my own feelings about having had a loan. It’s not terribly complicated!

Erik did it right here. He bought an affordable car, paid it off in a reasonable amount of time, now he has a reliable, practical, fun car that’s all his. The problem with finance is when you do it the way most Americans seem intent on doing it: with endless seven, eight and nine year loans at some outrageous rate.

This. If I could get 33 mpg on my 03 WRX after a better spooling turbo and a tune while making 30 more hp to the wheels (for over 100k miles, mind you) why can’t I get that in a car 15 years newer?

I want to pay more for fuel economy and performance NOT infotainment and luxury.

I don’t really have a master plan, but my daily plan is to inform people about how the gov’s decisions impacts them personally. Sorry that doesn’t align with your politics :/

You won’t be excited by this feature unless you are under 33-years-old...

Traffic laws were made for cars, where starting and stopping is as simple as pressing your foot on a pedal. The amount of energy it takes to stop and start a bike is much greater—and therefore we rely on momentum to keep us from getting exhausted on our commutes. For conscientious bikers, this means red lights become…

I’ll just leave this here

Too many people just don’t understand this. Looking back, I wish I’d have learned this earlier. Yes, you need an emergency fund and some savings on hand (there are different recommendations for this but 3-6 months expenses is about right), but once you get beyond that, you should be investing. Markets are going strong…

More like catsup.

Smoking, drinking, eating habits. We pretty much have one of those vices, at least. We all choose our death, whether we like to think so or not.

I see you shiver with antici

2005 Subaru Forester XT. Seats 5, wagon, faster than a 350z, room for lots of groceries, available with three pedals (like mine)unique and a total sleeper. And it can off-road well even when lowered. I bought mine with 160k miles for $6,500 and that was 4 years ago. It has never let me down.
