Yup. In many states, it’s illegal to base hiring decisions on arrests and indictments (Mass is one of those states), only actual convictions.

The rule of law is still innocent until proven guilty, even if it’s a situation like this that raises some concerns.

In many states, it’s only legal to lookup, and base hiring decisions on, actual convictions. There are some exceptions for jobs that require more in-depth security checks or work with minors, but I’m guessing NFL coach isn’t exactly a matter of national security.

The term is only bad if you think they plan to pay for 12 years. Chances are they will they sell it way before that (and probably make out on the deal if they don’t put too many miles on it). On a rare car that will retain or possibly gain value, it seems like a good way to have a rare Porsche for low monthly payment.

It’s really unfortunate that the comments seem to have polarized. We can admit that the pedestrian made a huge error in judgement while also recognizing that there are a lot of people with bad judgement and self driving cars need to account for that. The pedestrian is an idiot for wandering unto an unlit roadway at…

I miss having friends. Marriage is a lonely thing.

Hopefully they will introduce better colors to other models as well. I love my 335, but even the Melbourne Red color I got is complete garbage next to fancy cars like my neighbor’s Hyundai Elantra...

Reading is hard.

It was a pretty close call. I had a 2016 Focus RS, 2016 WRX STi, and a 2015 BMW 335xi all within $500 cost and low mileage.

In all honesty, the interior quality played a bigger part than the color, but I would be lying if the Melbourne Red BMW didn’t appeal to me more than a Primer with Clearcoat Focus. :)

The black looks decent, but I didn’t get to see it in person. The 3 in my area when I was looking were 2 grey ones and a nitro blue one, and the blue one was about $3k more. :/

Had to settle for a 335 for $2k less.

Agreed. I won’t lie that a deciding factor against the Focus RS was the fact that the only one I could find near me was that shitty grey color. The only color that looks ok was the Nitro blue.

I hope it comes back. Performance wise, it was the best car I test drove. Make the next version in a decent color and spend a…

I’ve got to ask if that impact graph is really accurate? My wife and I had some financial issues in 2014 that resulted in a few missed payments and a default on one of her student loans. We had everything fixed and back in order within a few months, but missed payments are still listed as the #1 negative on my score.…

I think sometimes you just need to mix it up, especially as they get older. My 5 year old is excited to talk about pre school, my 12 year old obviously isn’t. With my 12 year old, rather than asking how school was, or something similar, I usually just try to say something that funny (or at least dad joke funny). For…

OH! He told you to man up, called you an twinkie, then called you ma’am! That’s such an epic burn. He even criticized your student loan payment history!!!!

Take that! :D :D

Come on, I’m sure having the same team go to the Super Bowl over and over again is great for ratings. I’m also sure Goodell wants to help out the fanbase that loves him so much.

Agree with this 100%. I’m not stacking plates because I’m impatient or trying to help out. When there’s annoying cardboard ads, ziosk tablets, and an assload of plates crammed onto a tiny table, something’s gotta give.

If I’m at someplace nice, I leave the plates alone. If I’m at some chain restaurant that insists on…

The talk radio shows after the game were pretty hilarious. Most of us Pats fans aren’t too shaken up, it’s one loss.

However, some of the callers were almost in tears. One guy just kept talking about his heart-breaking because the dynasty is over. We were chuckling in the car.

In all honesty, I doubt the team is going…

That might be valid for downtown Boston, but 128 and 495 suck because every masshole alive seems to believe allowing somebody to merge is an unforgivable offense. On multiple occasions, I’ve seen drivers hit the car in front of them just because they refuse to allow any room for somebody in another lane to get in.

Ever…

WAIT! You’re telling me that the NFL suspended a star player based more on public opinion and outcry than evidence of any wrongdoing?!?

I honestly can’t think of another situation where the NFL has ever done this.

Sincerely,
Ian, Patriots fan

My RX8 has gone from a joy to drive to a major regret at an alarming speed. However, I don’t really have a problem with the rotor shapes everywhere.
