“But I also can’t think of a single person I know that looks forward to eating at a rest stop on a highway.”

84 month $1,719 payment you mean? Dodge is way tardy to the EV party and three guesses whose going to be paying for them to catch up.

Ford’s slogan in the 1980’s was ‘Quality is Job 1’. What’s a few more years in the four decades this has been promised?

Boris Johnson would like a word

I have no mortgage. Being a middle-age duffer, that is not unusual, I would say most of my friends are also mortgage-free at this point in our mid-50s. I also live in a place where the taxes on my little shack are a grand total of $1200/yr. And there is no state income tax here - that’s a $10-15K+/yr bonus for me at…

Rents are definitely going up on a combination of higher property taxes and the cost of labor and materials for maintenance. And that’s if the building didn’t trade 2020 or later, when values had skyrocketed and the rent needed to cover the cost of financing shot up commensurately. The only answer is building more…

For those who bought their house ten-fifteen years ago and refinanced this summer, this is very true. I know one of my new neighbour’s mortgage is about a third of mine... 

Curious if anyone knows of some legit study that’s examined Amazon as a “pretty crappy company,” versus the employment alternatives for folks if they didn’t work there. A close friend has now worked there twice. Worked like a dog, got paid well, burned out (actually, poached due to his Amazon experience), missed the…

 Also on an unrelated note: Did you know Subway® ‘Footlong™’ subs aren’t required to be a foot long? Someone kept measuring their subs, many around 11-11.5", and sued over it of course.

Some tech bro is gonna try to use this as an opportunity to sell local governments title blockchain NFTs. 

Maybe they can just make car titles the size of an ID card. There isn’t really that much information on a title; you can fit all that in without using a whole A4 size paper.

My grandfather had an ‘85 Olds 98 with a 3800, It was an unreliable heap that never ran right from day one, and the dealer could never fix it. Same sort of drive by suggestion handling. Just a terrible car, and it cost $20K new in late 1984. One thing that always stood out to me was that while it had a power driver’s…

It also does NOT take into consideration if a complex part, like a transmission, is assembled in the US, but made up of 100% foreign-derived parts.

It’s okay, that’s....Normal.

Welcome to Georgia!

Frontier is better at being a Tacoma than a Tacoma is - I rent cars every week, and will pick a Frontier over a Tacoma ANY day if I’m going w/ a pickup.

I had a 2010 Xterra for years (still do, just haven’t driven it in quite some time).  Buddy picked up a 2016 Taco a few years ago and I was so thoroughly underwhelmed when I rode in it and drove it around a bit.  Interior features were a hair nicer (actual screen, push button start) but the materials didn’t feel much…

Not to mention the rear drum brakes.

Don’t hate me but I never purchased one because they look cheap.  I prefer Brandon Blackwood.  So sorry.. ( backs out of slowly.....)
