At the dealership where I work, we do 1000 oil changes per month. Last month, we lost a motor due to a screw up. Now 999/1000 oil changes went perfectly, so that’s 99.9% accuracy. It’s actually higher than that on average because we don’t usually lose a motor every month. But it still sucks to be that one person. (BTW…

Ya I was in the same boat. But I’m going to go with “Eh, where ya gonna find another one?” NP

I bet all those people standing out on the Today plaza were screaming your name, too.

That movie is completely forgettable. Literally. I loved the first one, and when the second one came available for streaming, I’m like “ya, I’ve GOT to see that!” My wife informed me that I had already saw it. I didn’t believe her, but sure enough half way through it looked familiar. Even after watching it twice…

This song is forever linked to Anchorman 2 in my mind. I hate that.

Yep. Anything under 2k was my number. These cheap ones are a tough call though, because they’re usually still in the ballpark. Asking 3500 you could maybe talk him down closer to 2000.

I was taught when I was running a service department that if you perform a repair for free, outside of the stated warranty period, you automatically create a new warranty unless you specifically indicate with a goodwill repair form that it's a one time deal. It honestly all sounds like standard wording to me straight…

So that’s how the story will end. Blown motor on the race track. CAN’T WAIT!

Because interest rates are really low. Much lower than average market growth. So when you pull it out, you’re losing the market growth on the money, which is the whole reason you’ve put it in an investment in the first place. I would argue that ESPECIALLY if you’re young, you want that money in there growing in…

Credit unions, for sure. Like another commenter said, PenFed will. Otherwise there are banks that will too. We have a local one where I’m at that will do 75 month financing on any year vehicle. Literally....any year. As long as you can prove the value of the car and have good credit you can finance anything you want.

This is still around, some retirement plans encourage it. “That way I’m paying MYSELF back the interest!” they will exclaim. Wow.....

You can get a loan for any kind of car you want to buy.

And it hurts your credit score! Home equity loans do not report on your credit as a mortgage. It counts as revolving debt, which is the same as a credit card. This type of debt reflects poorly on your credit score, especially if you are utilizing more than 50% of the available credit line. So if you have a $30,000…

That actually looks fantastic.

Nitpicking and pointing out how terrible cars are that people absolutely lust over was Clarkson’s thing, and frankly is played out. Do you really expect someone to emulate how he did it, and how would you react if they did? I don’t think that would go over favorably either.

Interesting. So this is the actual answer to the question. Well done!

Same for the guy shooting the video, obviously. Should have backed off rather than focusing on getting the shot. But hey, almost a million views and here we are talking about it so....

damn it!

Can confirm. There’s a school bus dealer in town here, and I recently spoke to the guy that runs it and asked about what they do with the trade-ins. He said they all go to central America. I was surprised to hear this, but it makes sense. They don’t even market them locally.

NP. I honestly think these are one of the ugliest cars ever manufactured. But they are unique, different, even bold. People either love them or hate them. Even though I’m the latter, this one is clearly worth somewhere around the sellers asking price.
