But what about the Median car payment, because a $2500/month payment on a new Velar is a triviality if you can afford one, and stuff like that distorts the hell out of numbers like this
Holbay Hunter, engine good, body needs some work

I’m sure you thought of this just to make another anti-union post, but the entire process of identifying renewals, printing tags and stuffing them in pre-paid envelopes has been completely automated for the last 20 years, and is likely handled from a single office in Fresno with 50 workers. Just putting in the…

Sorry, grammar police here - dissent, not descent
My son bought a CPO WRX, and when the clutch went out less than 2000 miles later, they replaced it on the spot at no charge. That’s a $2500 repair that easily covered the price between a non-CPO and CPO, so sometimes it’s worth it.
It doesn’t quite work like that, once you have established a residence in the US, (for example you start your college course), It’s the same as when you move from another state. You have to follow the rules about obtaining the appropriate state drivers license, here in Colorado you can drive for up to a year if you…
For those who don’t know, the Denver Post is the only game in town for a printed paper. The only competition, the Rocky Mountain News was killed by the company that used to own both papers, about a decade ago.
Sure, some people have a better understanding of finance than the 3rd grade where you seem to have stopped.
As part of my rentals business, I rent cars to Uber/Lyft drivers through a platform called Hyrecar. That (for a price) eliminates the hidden costs of using their own vehicle from a driver, and places them on my business. Managing and controlling those hidden costs to produce a profit whilst complying with regulatory…
I can see where this discussion is going, but I’ll bite (a little). Take a look at companies like Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW where again, every member on the production line is a Union member and benefiting from substantially higher pay and benefits than their counterparts in non-union plants in the USA. Each of…
hilarious, you do understand that every single person involved in the building of a vehicle in China is a member of a union, right?
Indeed, and speaking as someone who has been hit by a car (my fault, young, not paying attention) and who has worked in emergency rooms dealing with the consequences, I would call this video as 95% nonsense and only appropriate for fit adults between the age of 15 and 25 (although they are actually the people most…
Except that it’s not a tech company, vehicle manufacturing is a heavy industry and the conditions that employees work in are completely different from tech . Just because Elon Musk is a quirky tech guy doesn’t mean he escapes criticism for creating a culture that diminishes safety for the sole purpose of profitability.
I remember when I was binge watching wheeler-dealers and I suddenly noticed he was wearing gloves, and that was the point that I thought “sure, that makes sense” and went out and bought a box of nitriles.
Uh, just approach at an angle and turn sharply....
The big problem for this owner, as for all owners (like myself) who rent cars that might be subject to abuse is proving that a specific renter caused a problem. So if you rent this car, shred 90% of the clutch and return it, the owner will never get a penny in compensation from either you or Turo, because the owner…
The indirect costs associated with single payer are massively lower than the US system . I believe the number is 5% for the NHS vs 24% for the USA
You’re 100% responsible for maintenance, but you can get a more expensive insurance plan through Turo to cover wear and tear. There are a few consumables exceptions such as tires that the renter may be liable for. I’ve had to cover a clutch replacement after 25,000 miles
People sue here in the US to mostly recover the cost of hospital care, loss of wages etc. With a single-payer health care system there is no cost for emergency or ongoing care, and income is protected to some degree as well, so there’s no point in suing. This makes for lower insurance premiums.
