“It’s not the destination but the journey” is starting to become the vacation of choice in the last few years. Not that I’m complaining, it’s my preferred type of vacation too. Relatively cheap and a lot more interesting than a theme park or resort.

sometimes carmax warranties are on sale. I got my carmax warranty on sale and a promotion that waves the deductible if you need to bring it in. fortunately haven’t had to use it I probably was a fool buying a carmax warranty on a Hyundai with 40k miles but i’m sure if i didn’t buy it the engine would have grenaded by…

There’s a difference between confidence and enjoyment. I haven’t really enjoyed getting onto commercial flights since the early 80s (the novelty wore off rather quickly...), but I still did it pretty regularly (travel for work, vacations, family visits), all the while being perfectly confident that the risk of doing…

That’s actually where some people get stuck: Don’t take it to Carmax. Carmax gives you a $50 break for taking it to them, but you can use the Carmax warranty and just take it directly to the Porsche dealer if you have issues. It’s $50 more towards the deductible, but who cares about $50?

I think Airlines are hosed for a LONG time.

That’s great that you are making an additional sacrifice to help your daughter!

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone’s initial reaction to the panamera as “...good looking sedan”

Let’s see, we bailed them out. Again.

“Consumer’s confidence in flying” is almost poetic.  I have met practically no one outside of the first class who loves flying any commercial flights.  It’s more that necessity and resignation are what’s fueling the airline industries.

3rd Gear: I drive for Uber and Lyft on the weekends in Kansas City for extra cash. Well, I did before the pandemic. Haven’t been out since February. I typically drive 10-12 hours Friday night and Saturday night. I would typically earn $250-$300 each night and put on around 200 miles each night in a 2017 Acadia that…

My wife rarely ever asks about new cars. This morning, she saw the Bronco trending on Twitter, and asked how much they cost.

Sorry, no.  There’s a reason LATCH was implemented.  It’s better than belts as it doesn’t rely on a belt not holding tension.

This.

You are a new dad. You won’t be cool for the next 10-15 years. Your life will revolve around the new baby then school/after school stuff. You will have drool stains on you/the car. You new cologne is eau de barf/formula. Cheerios and Goldfish will haunt the interior of whatever you buy. French fries and nuggets will…

Get something newer. When you have a child you’re going to want to protect him or her, and that means LAtCH- style retention for the baby seat and surrounding the child with all sorts of airbags to keep them safe.

You sound like a balanced individual with a good grasp on modern race politics and social movements.

Wow dood...

The inability to see systemic racism and to actively defend it makes someone racist.

He called BLM - literally a movement that began as hope that, just maybe, America could assign the same value to Black Lives as they do white ones - a domestic terrorist organization.

Because that’s how civil resistance works. Totally. “Be as convenient and mindful as possible to those completely apathetic towards your struggles”
