I get annoyed when my cars have come back from body shops after accidents and I have to spend a few hours getting the panels right. I’d be furious if my $60k car was that poorly pieced together....

I remember my first automatic. I thought, this will finally change how I feel about day-to-day traffic. It did not. Honestly, it made it worse because I would get bored more easily. These days, I have a handful of manual cars and one automatic. I rarely choose the auto.

I did this as well. First I picked up a Traxxas Raptor (Slash), then my kid decided he wanted one too, so I got him a Traxxas Stampede. And I’ve spent an unholy amount of time and money modifying these suckers ever since.

My first car was a 1984 Camry. 5 speed as well, but no diesel. The 2.0 gas motor was actually relatively perky, paired with the manual. I beat A LOT of cars in impromptu street races back in the mid 90s.

who’s going to buy them?

I work for a credit union that carries around $1B in auto loans (which is small potatoes compared to the big guys). We are a low risk lender. Based on what I’ve seen in unemployment, member surveys, and knowing there’s about to be a flood of unsold 2020s flooding the market and plummeting values.....

I definitely need bigger than a 2-car garage at my next house. However, I have managed to utilize the space alright, with the ability to park two cars, two (soon to be 3) bikes, toys, tools, and room to work on stuff as long as one car gets pulled out. I even made a simple wall-mount, bar height table that folds out…

My point being, nobody DID get hurt. So in the end this was cool.

Unpopular opinion: This is cool. 19 year old and buddy didn’t die or hurt anyone, have a ticket they can show to their autonomously chauffeured children that “one time I got a ticket for going almost 200 MPH”...well, I mean it’s Canada so more like, “one time I got a ticket for going over 300, eh.” 

It felt too much like Rick and Morty, without the genius. There are so many episodes of R&M that make my laugh hysterically and/or blow my mind with a concept, plot twist, etc. None of that happened here. I couldn’t care about the characters at all and it just seemed to try too hard with gross-outs.  

Dear 2020,
You’ve been a giant bitch so far. With coronavirus, murder hornets, and an economy that echoes the Great Depression, we’ve had about enough of you. Please don’t kill our beloved Mazda.

I’m with you. My wife and I are still fully employed. We tend to buy cars often because we like to. We have plenty in savings. We are high earners. There’s no way in hell I would make a new car purchase at this moment. The economy is in a very precarious place....too precarious to make large purchases unless…

There is nothing “non-engaging” about a single speed electric motorcycle. The only people that would say that are people that haven’t ridden one. But I can understand why you might think that, especially since electric cars DO feel a bit less engaging.

I see you’re getting hate for this, but it’s really sound advice. There are so many people buying cars that are far too expensive for them. The car/SUV is made affordable thanks to an 84 mo loan and low interest...and these folks working paycheck to paycheck can just barely swing it....but they just HAVE to have that…

This issue is going to be compounded by the upcoming auto price collapse. The unsold 2020s discounted to the moon, plummeting the 1-6 year old auto values (why buy a 2017 with 45k miles when a 2020 with 0 miles is cheaper?)

The people with 72 and 84 month loans were already pretty much guaranteed to be upside down. Now…

It’s really easy to have a $600 car payment. Average price of a new car in 2019: $36,718. So you’re looking at $40k out the door with taxes and fees in most states.

There are safety valves in many segments of our economy. None of those valves were built to withstand the pressures of everything collapsing at once. As for a car market value collapse...sure you can send cars to other countries or crush them, but what countries can afford our new cars when the entire globe is…

Do not buy a car....yet. The market is about to completely implode. New and used cars sitting on lots. Dealers will eventually be blowing that stuff out just to try and survive....pay rent, etc. Soooooo many people with 72 and 84 month loans right now, on cars they can barely afford when they are gainfully employed.…

Median income San Jose, $83,400. Median income US, $61,900. 

Except BMW has been doing it for 14+ years. It is what it is man. The dynos and 1/4 mile times don't lie.
