Eh. Sure. It does happen, I’m just saying that statistically, it seems to happen more with Subaru than maybe it should. It’s not like Subaru’s QC problem is new, they had a class-action lawsuit like 5 years ago over faulty piston rings in engines...

I think your problem is that the comparable cars you’ve owned/listed are also not particularly reliable, so it’s a reasonably low bar. A much higher, (and probably unrealistic bar) is that my 4Runner has never had an unplanned mechanic visit. At 140k miles I had to replace the starter contacts. Other than that, just…

Lol - so around $22k just in tuition for a standard semester. Sounds super affordable. Add living expenses and you should be able to pay cash for a reasonably equipped Mercedes PER SEMESTER.

nice - except the current cost is already exorbitant. Part of this is due to endless cuts in funding over the years, but part of it is also that Universities have become these financial nightmares where they pay an army of adjuncts jack shit, but still somehow run up huge expenditures.

And now, I’m willing to bet the cost for NYU is much higher, even factoring in inflation. So imagine what kids have to do now, if they even bother going.

I’d get the LC at the price - but what you’re paying for is something you don’t get with the Benz, pretty much impossible to beat longevity. The Mercedes will be faster, tighter, more fun to drive, and endlessly more expensive long term.

Ding ding ding - and not only that, but the only people REALLY paying attention right now are going to skew Democrat. Which is why these doom and gloom for Trump polls are WAY too early, and probably paint a rosy picture for Democrats that doesn’t exist.

The hell are you saying. On what basis are you saying that locking these people up in cages is better than their home country? And even if that were the case, you realize saying “I’m beating you, but at least I’m not killing you” doesn’t make the beating ok.

Yeah that’s a mistake I’d probably make too

I was disappointed when this didn't work for me either. Then I just chopped off either end of the garlic clove and tried again. Worked fairly well for my standard - Publix garlic.

As people drop out - it really depends on who reaps those votes. I’m a Bernie dude but he’s having trouble resonating with enough people. I worry about Warren because I think she loses a popularity contest with Trump, no matter what the polls say. Honestly no matter what the polls say I have my doubts about Biden vs.…

As someone who deeply hopes this guy isn’t the eventual nominee; if it’s between him and Donald Trump - please do vote for him.

I’d posit that as trite as it sounds - with the life these politicians lead - their wives probably do need heroic constitutions. 

If only his perspective weren’t contagious. We voted this dude into office.

Agree with you. Just amazed with what people spend on cars without really needing to. 

Lol. Children aren’t that rare. And no. Not every car is reliable for 15 years. And certainly not one that costs 50k unless it’s a Toyota or Lexus.

OK - so let me make sure I have it all.

I was making a ballpark number and you started to engage on whether or not one was contributing enough to their 401k homie. I dont particularly want to have a specific discussion about my retirement position or my specific household income and expenses. That number is not the number I exist at. And I don’t really wish…

I was pretty much just naming a ballpark number based on what I’m seeing. My household doesn’t make EXACTLY 150k either. Do you want to get into specifics?

Lots of metro areas besides San Francisco and NYC have a high enough cost of living where 10k isn’t that much. Median home cost in Miami is 360ish. The reality is it’s closer to 400 - 450 for an actual 1500 (or smaller) sq foot house, but whatever. Condos or apartments are cheaper but then tack on HOA and it’s a wash.…
