So this is the Continental with the optional Homicide Doors? It’s an option you can’t refuse.

Toyota Celica

can i buy yours off-lease for $40k?

Neutral: This isn’t the first time this question has come up...

“Recessions are hard to weather; doubly so if your company doesn’t sell anything cheap”.

Neutral: Hurtling down the road at 75mph in a thin metal box controlled by a total stranger without a vetted level of prior experience, an uninspected vehicle, and unknown brake/tire quality is the bigger of my concerns.

I started to feel like I knew what I was doing. Then a Senna appeared in my rearview. I got out of the way in a damnsure hurry.

I like the hi-po 5-spokes on my C5.. and I’m nowhere near boomer territory. I just think they look nice, and yes, brake dust comes right off. Someone paid $1200 for that option back in 2001.

Jesus, the child tax credit wasn’t just doubled, the phase out was bumped up to 400k for joint filers (200k single). I’m doing my taxes now and was surprised by this.

CA is holding its budget surplus in reserve, so that the next time recession strikes they don’t have to drastically reign in spending and/or fire a bunch of people. As noted in the article you cited.
