For #2: yes, don't finance at the dealership. Also, don't finance without a large enough down payment to keep you from ever going underwater. Other than that, interest is paying for the time you get use out of the vehicle that you wouldn't have had before. You might pay an extra grand or two over the life of a loan…

What's wrong with financing? People seem to think that paying interest is akin to throwing your money out the window. It's not. Most people would, by necessity and not through poor financial management, take years and years to save up and pay cash for a decent car. That's years and years of not having the car. Is…

Don't forget about running up on one of these:

Pretty much the two front and center in your lead picture. Comon, I know you agree. Both the CX-5 and 6 have received heaps and heaps of praise, with only an occasional soft complaint about the weakness of the motors (but hey, gas mileage). Also, the CX-5 has actually sold well too. Always important.

Interesting article. Unfortunately, this isn't safe at most tracks. Safety barriers are designed to work for cars coming at them in one direction, not both, and your local track has the fortune of needing none with all that runoff room. But at a track like Road Atlanta, a minor mistake that results in a small off…

I think the ACLU quote sums it up nicely. This is not illegal, as you are trying to infer, unless it's deemed to violate some entrapment law. The drug offenders have the option to roll right through without doing anything suspicious (and if they had an ounce of intelligence and knew about this supreme court ruling,…

Exactly, it's a look that only a 13 year old kid could love.

It's hard to show you the lack of a law. We have laws that require equal pay on specific qualities, but no law requiring equal pay on a broad, sweeping scale. This page breaks it down a bit: http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/publicati…

Essentially, unequal pay is perfectly legal unless the reason for it is SPECIFICALLY…

That's simply not true. What is the source for your information?

Well, yeah, but I'm not terribly familiar with them. I'm also 24, that tree was gone many years before I was alive.

How's that one relevant to racing?

I'm not trying to be insulting, I just didn't understand what you were saying because it was "broken" English...

OK, it looks like English just might not be your first language, which is fine. I'm not saying that unions are bad, I'm saying that if they are worth it, they will thrive without being mandated. I'm not sure how free riding can be a problem- if an employee does not wish to join the union, they negotiate their pay…

Italian trains in the northwest of the country, including in Milan itself, were pretty filthy and reeked. Much worse than any I've experienced in America or elsewhere. But I'm pretty sure there are plenty of third-world counterparts that are much worse- at least they worked properly in Italy. There was a stark…

Want to drink a cup of coffee or two and try again? Not following at all.

Funny thing is, it's actually true. All they do is prevent corporations from signing deals with unions that require employee membership in the union. They take an option that corporations used to have off the table. If this does not make them less powerful, then I don't know what can.

The beautiful thing about right to work states is that unions are free to form, but a company cannot force its employees to join. So let them try. No one will be forced out of a job to stay in line with their personal beliefs about unions. This might not happen in a non right to work state. Right to work makes…

If you can pull off playing the victim, you can use it to your advantage.

HOORAY, the government is FORCING PRIVATELY HELD ENTITIES to do something else!

So does theft just fall under "unlawful use of a motor vehicle" over there or?...
