You mean he sounds like a typical American? If you wanna see truly bad financial behavior go work for a luxury car dealer. People that have no business paying more than a grand for a car insisting they need a brand new A6/E Class/5 Series. It’s absolutely asinine.

I tell people that if they can’t afford the payment on a 4 year loan then they can’t afford the car. Of course, no one listens and the dealers push the living shit out of extended loan terms. When we bought our Explorer they kept trying to get us in the 72 month loans, on a USED explorer. I had to ask pretty…

Or telling the F&I manager they want a brand new Q3 premium plus for $400/month with zero down for 5 years. Never heard the F&I manager laugh at a customer until that day.

Back to the Tahoe though...when the wife and I were shopping for a 3 row SUV I was downright floored at how much those things cost. Even used…

Cops being stupid? You don’t say.

It doesn’t help that they build their cars in a country that is essentially run by the drug cartels. Yay cheap labor!

Ugh, you’re all wrong. The correct answer is so painfully obvious it isn’t even funny. Alfa Romeo Spider. They’re everywhere, they’re cheap, they’re easy to work on, they handle better than a Camaro ever will, and they make panties drop. Plus, as the great and powerful JC has said many times, you are not a true petrol…

You must have been flogging the piss out of it to only get 28MPG on a mostly highway trip. My 2012 Charger R/T averaged 32 from Arkansas to New England.

The TSA needs to go away. They have never stopped any sort of attack, they are hilariously inept at their job, and the crap they do borders on harassment. Lets not even get into the fact that fat creepy old guys in TSA uniforms routinely single out young girls for “additional screening”. Nothing like government…

Hmmm...do I believe the guy that is an actual genius who built a car company and a freaking private version of NASA, or the guy that built a website where you can get into pointless political arguments with people you haven’t actually seen in years, in between posting silly pictures of cats? Pretty sure I’m gonna go…

I wonder why fleeing the scene wasn’t listed as one of the charges...

4th: Kinda sad really. The current Impala is a really good looking car and comes with a lot of stuff for the money.

Part of me wants to blame the customer for this. Having worked at a string of new car dealerships I can tell you that a lot of times the customer is their own worst enemy. No, lady with the 2 year old Sonata and a 600 beacon score, you shouldn’t be buying a brand new Accord EX-L V6, you should instead drive the…

I’ll ride my Vegas until the wheels fall off. Then I’m gonna bolt them back on and ride some more.

Same category as you. The way Harley riders act in groups is why I bought a Victory. My next bike will likely also be a Victory, unless I can score a good deal on a used Indian. It won’t be a Harley though.

The person I originally responded to claimed rural areas have “outsized weight” placed on their electoral votes. You responded, essentially defending that line of thought. I’m arguing that the thinking that there is more weight, electorally speaking, placed on rural areas over urban centers is wrong. Urban centers…

That still doesn’t explain the claim of “outsized weight” on rural areas. The 2 states that award electoral votes by district are Maine and Nebraska, both relatively rural states. So the argument falls flat again, because if everyone awarded votes by district, California wouldn’t be such a boon for liberals, neither…

Totally wrong engine in this build. If it had a VW 1.9TDI I’d bite, but a high revving, no torque rotary? Nope. Crack Pipe

That response makes no sense, at all. None. So again, someone explain to me how the sparsely populated rural areas have “outsized weight” to their votes when the densely populated liberal cities have more votes per square mile. If anything, the liberal coastal areas have outsized influence on the direction of the…

How are rural areas given outsized weight for their votes? I’d like to know the reasoning behind that boneheaded statement. Electoral votes are based on the size of the congressional delegation, which is based on population. So please explain to me how a sparsely populated area is given more weight in a system based…

But then you would eliminate one of the greatest assignments in the Air Force: Nuclear Alert Facility Manager. And that’s just not cool to doom Airmen to a life where escaping the BS to play around in a remote nuke facility isn’t an option anymore.
