And yet the US has 650 billionaires. Seems something got broken.

Reading comments with people saying their mortgage is <$1000 a month is alarming me. My California tax has my mortgage at $3700. Before HOA, insurance, gas, electricity, water, garbage.... oh god, and property taxes.

Exactly - a google of average car loan length shows 65 months.

You should try writing with the other end of your anatomy, Bellwoodie. This is the dumbest shit I have seen published on this site since DeMuro left. Pour one out for the long-suffering reader.

What's the problem here? People looked for a new car around $30k, and found it marked up closer to $40k. They found this car, probably for $25k at the most. They have a new car with a full warranty and maybe $15k in their pockets. The car is fun to drive, more reliable than a Tesla (and a lot of other makes), and if…

the latest iteration of the 6 that these owners will now proudly be driving around town traces its origins way back to 2012

This is a great story to make these people, who just made a major purchase, feel badly about their new car.

Well, having been around for a decade, it probably has all of the bugs worked out, so there’s that.

Misfortunes of the buyers? The hell you talking about? The 6 is still a nice looking car, similar but nicer looking in my opinion than either the new Sonata or the Accord you propose as alternatives. Other than the relatively small center screen, the 6 has a nice, refined looking interior too. And I say all this…

The 6 may be old, but the updates they made in 2018 really made a huge difference, especially with interior materials. When the wife and I were shopping for our last car, it came down to the Honda Accord and the Mazda 6. The build quality of both was great, but the materials in the Mazda were just better at pretty…

...except she’s getting paid while people are losing either valuable vacation time or valuable unpaid personal time.

The difference is that she is getting paid to be inconvenienced while everyone else paid for the pleasure.

If you don’t want to deal with annoyed customers, don’t take a job where your primary duty is dealing with customers in an industry where they are often annoyed.

No, this is like going to your job as a flight attendant, being delayed - as is common in your job, and dealing with people making shit jokes as part of your job. Because it’s your job.

The difference being she’s getting paid while the passengers are paying for the experience of not getting to their destination on time.

Dear auto makers: I had a ‘courtesy car’ today that was a sedan. Let me tell you why American’s aren’t buying sedans today:

Screw that. I’m plopping that bitch in a plastic bag and into the sous-vide for an hour then searing for like 30 seconds a side.

You know this is actually quite bad advice, because steak cuts are not uniform in thickness...this length of cooking time will destroy most steaks people buy in supermarkets. For those people i suggest buying a meat thermometer. Poking it doesn’t destroy the steak, the juices don’t all run out giving you a dry steak.…

The Hellcat didn’t even have to be that low on fuel at the start.
