Unless we are redefining what a divebomb is, in order for a divebomb to be a divebomb, the divebombing car needs to be coming in to the corner late, probably at a higher rate of speed than the car being divebombed, and possibly with the brakes locked. None of those three criteria apply here. Read more

If you turn in, center the wheel for a split-second, then turn in more, you’re not giving space, you’re reacting to what is in your peripheral vision, then assuming it is gone. And missing the apex is not a “dive bomb”. Hamilton’s car was slowing when contact was made.

It is kind of ridiculous that the world’s biggest or second-biggest automaker (depending on how you count) is playing catch up on EVs with Tesla... Read more
This car has “Firestone Wide Oval” tires all over it.
The rest of your story makes the waived appraisal thing make sense. I’m 2 hours from NYC, so a lot of the properties around here that were for sale have been going to people escaping the city during COVID. We have friends who were in the market, and could afford where the market was before things went crazy but now… Read more
We’ve been lucky so far. Neither mortgage we’ve had has been sold to a third party. I remember this happening to my parents a long time ago, and my dad was pissed.

If you pay cash, an appraisal isn’t necessary.

I’m in an extremely hot market, and this is the first I’ve heard of an appraisal being waived by a lender. Inspections are getting waived, but houses around here are being snapped up for cash, so a valuation for finance purposes is irrelevant.
Best use of a wind instrument since the guy with the Souzaphone was following the KKK march.
That 140% LTV is typically meant to cover the outstanding loan balance on the trade. Are they just going to approve it for a markup?
That would be wrong. Paying cash gives you the least leverage.
Real estate financing is different from new vehicle financing. A vehicle comes from a manufacturer with an MSRP, and lenders tend to not stray too far from that in terms of what they’re willing to finance. The price of an existing home is a far fuzzier thing, and part of home financing is an assessment of the property… Read more
True, but until recently they had a somewhat responsive support department.

I couldn’t help but notice this morning that when you click on the “Need Help?” link in the footer of the site, instead of taking you to the technical support forums and FAQs, you get this:
