Drivers from this event almost killed me and my wife. We have a rental in the Norwood area and were down there checking on it. We were going out of town for a hike when several exotics with some sort of livery zoomed towards us at a zillion miles an hour passing others and heading right for us head on. I braked, they…

I’m glad they only hurt themselves and not anyone else. Everything about these events epitomizes the idea of a douchebag. It’s incredibly unsafe, braggy for the point of being braggy, wholly inconsiderate of the safety and well-being of anyone else, and generally gives the vibe of “I am the coolest fucking person on…

Same, bought at the end of ‘07 here in a great city in the midwest. After refinancing (multiple times) as the rates went down, we’ve got 13 years left on a mortgage that costs us $880/month. Add in another $400 or so for property taxes and we’re still way below friends who are renting shitty 2-bedroom apartments. It’s…

I picked up a Model Y when they were at their cheapest and readily available. More cars are coming out all the time but not a lot was readily available at the time. I absolutely LOVE the look of the new Ioniq 5.

I’m saddened that no customers alerted staff and that *everyone* just quietly filled their tanks and told their friends. That doesn’t speak well for Californians in general.

It makes perfect sense - the more of the principle we pay off now, the less of an impact higher interest rates will have when we refinance. It’s pretty straightforward.

Never before have I ever seen a CEO so hell-bent on destroying their own company. From turning off customers by revealing that they are more or less a MAGA idiot, fucking around and getting themselves in trouble with financial regulators, loudly proclaiming he has a “ bad feeling” and that he needs to lay off 10% of…

Kill yourself. 

Thank you for saying it. Sorry but crossing the double yellows on a non-closed course is taboo. 

True, but most people don’t watch much cycling.

I don’t want to be That Guy, but this isn’t actually all that unusual. ProTour riders hit these speeds pretty regularly on long descents.

With the big difference that a lot more people die of covid. And for some reason a lot of people haven’t gotten the vaccine, many for political reasons. I’ve known people who died. I’ve known kids who have been hospitalized. Nasty stuff. I don’t personally know of anyone who has died of a cold, flu, or sinus infection.

For sure, it was nice to be able to refinance as rates fell - the current mortgage on that house is about the same payment as the original, despite being only 15 years instead of 30, $50K+ larger, and about 20% higher taxes. I took some money out for improvements when it hit ~6%, then ultimately re-fi’d to 2.75% in…

Recently ditched my 2016 Challenger R/T for a 2014 E350 4Matic. Never thought I’d end up with a Mercedes-Benz, it’s the first automatic I’ve ever owned, and I broke my own rule of “not buying used luxury cars.”

Nobody with a median income is buying a median priced new car. That is not how it works. Not many people of merely median income are buying new cars *period*.

Nobody with a median income is buying a median priced new car. That is not how it works. Not many people of merely median income are buying new cars *period*.

A person with average income is not buying an average new car. The two statistical distributions are quite distinct.

Monmouth is definitely not the hilly and twisty environs I’d dream for but at least you don’t have to get off the island and through NYC to get to the good stuff!! I will say, north shore of Long Island is pretty spectacular in many many places.  I’ve only discovered this since riding again.

Well I’m on lawn guy land NY but grew up in Bergen County, NJ. Frequently ride up in Westchester or on the other side of the Hudson around the usual go to places (Bear Mountain, 7 Lakes, etc...) I bought a pair of REAX Ridge gloves without realizing it was the house brand, but they’ve worked out really well and was…

Same here, no issues with RevZilla. They’re opening a store in Brooklyn soon, so that’ll be cool for me since I’m closish to it. Have a Cycle Gear near me too but the store is a bit of a mess all the time, though the staff is friendly and they carry decent stock.
