Rarely have I had so much want for a vehicle(s) totally outside my normal interests.

Looking forward to seeing this project unfold.

Walking out is the most powerful thing you can do. I’ve had two car buying experiences get tremendously better while I was on my way to the door. I’ve also had at least two where I did walk out.  It’s a very strong negotiating tool.

I like cars. I even like buying them.

I liked that game. Even though the neck boner thing always weirded me out.

I would never. Ever. drink tap water from a hotel faucet unless I was actually dying. I do bring my own water, usually. I don’t travel as much the past few years, but I used to have to go all over the East Coast of the USA (Mainly NYC and Boston) and the UK. Nope nope nope.

There’s another angle here...

You can’t sell a home in CT without smoke detectors in any room with a bed as well as a couple of other spots.  You also have to have a certain number of carbon monoxide detectors that are within a certain distance to bedrooms.  Most realtors here will just tell you to put one of each in each bedroom.  There’s a…

Everyone should have one of those, a small towel and a small first aid kit in their backpack.  If you need to carry water for your hike, you should just carry those lightweight things as well.

Police have sirens and cars have horns for a reason. Good look paying attention without audio cues to someone honking at you when you can’t hear them and I’m not sure how you’ll manage to notice a siren coming at you from around a blind corner.

Some stupid show where they built custom motorcycles by shouting at each other.

He’s wearing a punisher shirt and carrying a BB gun.  I know this is totally not the point, but... I hope he gets the lifelong ridicule he deserves for being a racist jackass with side order of mocking for the above combination.

I substitute all the time (never modified a soup, though), but I start by asking if it’s OK. Sometime’s it’s not — and that never bothers me. I then proactively tell them that I’d understand if there’s an upcharge.  I would probably be annoyed if they charged me without telling me they were going to.  If you have…

That company/ecosystem but not that specific product... once that’s back in stock, I’ll probably try it.

I used an XVida system with my 7+ and -loved- it for the car. Strong magnetic mount with charging. I’d get in one of the cars and just lift the phone to the area (A piller in the Jeep, above the radio otherwise). The wires were tucked into the molding so all you saw was the mount and a couple inches of wire along the…

There are other ways to manage it without debt. Your debt-to-income ratio is *huge* as a factor here. If you’ve had a job for a while and can demonstrate income without large debt, you still have a good credit score.

Moving to a country with no economic infrastructure is all I can come up with. You are a number and a data point from the moment your mother interacts with a maternity service. You’re scored on various things starting at that point.

I’ve started putting Automatic Pros in all my cars.  Unless someone checks for them, they report in via build in cellular whenever the car is started or stopped and where each occurs, as well as where it is at any time.  If it’s at night, I may not know until the next day but if it’s during the day, my watch goes nuts…

I GOT YOU, FAM.
