See, she was right, you won’t like the answer!

I like your style, but a bullet in the head would be cheaper and more efficient.

Historically, the best solution to people like this is the guillotine.

She was right in a way, I didn’t like the answer. Mostly in that I’m now angry that Finns pay barely anything for great healthcare, while I’m paying out of my asshole for...let’s say adequate health care.

Oh god, the Wait Time sermons. As opposed to the mighty USA, where my mother has to schedule appointments with her specialist... a year in advance.

Same reason that free college scares them. No one complains about the “free” education we get through HS, because a HS diploma really doesn’t get you very far these days. But add on those extra 4 years, which might allow the poors to have a chance, and everyone goes nuts because that financial advantage might be taken…

The argument I used to hear when I worked with the wealthy out-of-touch Republicans at my last job was the wait times! You’ll have to wait so long! Because more people are getting care when they should clearly go without so I can see my doctor earlier.

She followed up with: “Health care costs are too high that is true but comparing us to Finland is ridiculous. Ask them how their health care is. You won’t like the answer.”

when rich people hear that we want everyone to get equal access to healthcare, they naturally assume that means they’ll have to suffer the way we do, because they know that their extreme wealth depends fundamentally on our poverty

As fun as this was to read, you realize that you can’t topple this lady with finicky things like facts, right?

“But I spent thousands of dollars fucking this car up!” is the thought process on display.
is still accurate.

I’m sure. They tend to be rather stout, so they go for a long time as well. They aren’t really my style though. If I were going for a lux barge, they’d probably be my first stop though... Either that or I’d just say screw it and get an avalon and blend into the vast grey expanse. 

If you really want one, cruise the CL listings from South Carolina to the FL Keys.  Tons of them in low miles, estate sales.  At least there used to be a few years ago.  But still, tons of deals to be found.  Some with gold badging and carriage roofs, if you are into that sort of thing.

The fundamental misunderstanding is that the seller thinks that the stancing has increased the value compared to a stock example. “But I spent thousands of dollars fucking this car up!” is the thought process on display.

those suspensions are prone to failure... you’re best bet is to replace the air suspension with regular shocks an struts (which came on the base model if i am not mistaken)

Just because it’s not your cup of tea... no, never mind. Stanced is like drinking Draino and calling it tea.

I think I speak for most intelligent humans when I say "Stanced = Instant CP"

“And then I thought “the hell with it. I’d rather pay more for one that hasn’t been screwed with.”

Also

CP.  This hits two different categories:
