That looked like what I used to do to my sister’s Barbie Doll legs.

I certainly wasn’t advocating anyone to buy the stock.

Absolutely not.  I drive for about 8 hours every Friday evening and that is it.  I don’t even do it for the money.  It’s entertaining and keeps me out of the bar.  I’ve met several interesting people this way and have made some great connections related to my real job.  I think you’d find the majority of Lyft and Uber

Congrats on your purchase! I love my Opel Insignia GS. If there was a GS TourX option I would have gone with that. 

If you mean that the Kia dealer isn't going to be a bunch of pretentious fucks and treat me like a 3rd world citizen just because my looks don't conform to the typical person who can easily afford a $60k or more car then yeah I agree with you. 

Yeah and I’m going to pull out so I don’t need to wear a condom.

Mr. Pareto would like to educate you on some key principles. 

Empty nester in 3 years here. The Mrs and I are desiring a downsize from 4500sqft to no larger than a 3rd that size. The only problem is houses that size in the Midwest are typically in the undesirable areas of town. People don't build nice new construction in good neighborhoods of 1500sqft or less in flyover country. 

It's the big number on the receipt. No hunting for the pretax amount. 

Tipping post tax is just easier math. What’s even easier? The way I do it. Let’s say the total is $82.79. I just take the first number, 8, double it 16, and round it up to the nearest multiple of 5. So $20 tip.

Makes it harder to negotiate down? Maybe. But building value? Absolutely not. You set your price based on your own inspection and expectations. Just because an independent inspection may confirm your findings doesn't make it any more valuable. 

My 89 had the fantastic red and black dash. My 93 was solid red. My 94 gt I had was the lovely saddle option. My 94 cobra was a respectable solid black.

My 89 had the 2-tone dash. My 93 did not. Maybe when they started adding the airbag they changed to solid color? I have no idea. 

This is one of those articles that makes me cry a little less about living in flyover country.

Most people have a hard enough time driving just a car. I can just imagine how bad it would be attaching a trailer behind most idiots.

In heaven there is no beer... 

This video brought tears to my eyes and I haven’t even watched it yet.  What poor soul still records video in portrait mode?

I never understood why you would ever hand over the keys to your trade, let alone say you are trading, without first having a written agreement on purchase price. I've had more than one dealer not want to give me a price without first knowing how I was paying and if I was trading. They didn't get my business. Dealers

I tip 25% give or take a few cents of the post tax amount because it’s easy to calculate in my head. More for outstanding service. But there is something to be said about choosing your career and education level.

This is why I never buy used cars anymore. Carfax and Autocheck don’t show shit for months after occurrence.  I got burned by this once. Never again.
