Do you have neighbors? Yes? THEN NO HOUSE SHOWS.

I’ve been researching a TDI Sportwagen all week. After days of horror stories about the model, I’m about to pull the plug on the idea. When I saw this post I said to myself: “please don’t be about a VW TDI.”

Well, I’ve only financed one car, and I used my credit union as a lender, not the dealer. And the next car I’d buy will likely be slightly used, but I imagine I’d finance it too.

Dodgers fan here, have never gotten over the loss of Beltre.

I’m not going to bother to read the “rule book” but I’m assuming that there’s something in there about the ball not being able to bounce before it crosses the plate? Otherwise, that was actually a strike.

Is Steiner Vin’s replacement? Also: will life go on when Vin is no longer broadcasting Dodger games?

i wish to god there was a place on this earth where i’d actually want to live, with a robust job market that would make living there possible, and which has a real estate market in which i could even dream of scrounging up enough cash for a 20% down payment. i mean, maybe it exists, but i’ve yet to find it.

just curious, what is your response to people who, like me, will argue that a car is a tool, not an investment, and don’t particularly care a great deal if it loses (reasonable) value in depreciation? surely there’s nothing wrong with financing a car at 2%, if you can put down a large enough down payment so that the…

“Most people, in my strictly unscientific and biased understanding, purchase new cars because they feel they either deserve the newest things without actually being able to afford them outright”

what symptom? capitalism? preferring to pay 2% in interest for a car loan rather than deplete a svaings acct to buy a car?

Wow. Gawker pays a lot better than I thought if you just assume that most people can afford to buy nice used cars with cash. Debt aint all bad.

I hated that movie and I have excellent taste, so that should tell everybody everything they need to know about it.

I’ve seen cuter.

Outside of ringing, if your cell phone makes a noise that I can hear in a public place for any reason: FUCK YOU, you’re a terrible person.

“Pete Orr at first”

Just stop making posts with multiple videos with pre-roll. Just stop doing that. I thought the Gawker sites were scaling back post volume in favor of quality?

The thing about Tom Ley is that this is the last of his pieces I’ll ever read.

So then why not just share this post in an office email chain? You make is public, you suffer the consequences. Unlike the Conde Nast editor, who didn’t have a choice in his personal life being made public.
