Please let him die on Christmas Day.

They’re saying Boo-urns.

Meh. You’re going from one side of the globe to another. That’s a journey that’s going to take time, no matter how you slice it.

So you sold the Golf for $10k more than you bought it for. Profit? Or you just sold it and got $10k back after paying off the loan.

I drive a ten year-old truck. It was the last of the trucks without the touch screens and other new shit. It doesn’t have an origami tailgate or trailer invisibility cloak. We have four cars in our household, all paid for. The newest is an Infiniti FX35 (2011). The oldest two are a 2000 4Runner Limited and a 1985…

I have encountered people like that who think people with good incomes who drive beaters are weird. Go figure. 

Great article, Patrick. My take is we have collectively lost our damn minds. The collective keeping up with the Joneses paradigm never seems to go away, especially when it comes to vehicles.

I, myself, tell people that the smart money is to buy a 2 year old Honda Civic.

Aren’t you also a 2 time MINI owner, having bought the second after the first was a nightmare?

An insurance industry waterboy, calling a particular brand of car owner smug douches and expressing eagerness to find them at fault?

As someone working in an industry that most consumers kinda loathe, maaaaaybe don’t say that sort of thing online ? Lol. 

Hey man. Oil comes from the ground. I’m just recycling. Plus, I have a high tech leak containment system....

My truck, affectionately called “leaky” by my family, deals with the fluids itself.
