Any arbitrary increase in price is gouging in this situation. You can limit how much someone buys if you’re worried about making sure there’s enough to go around. If it’s “catastrophic” everyone needs to do their part.

This can be easily fixed with purchasing limits. No need to price gouge in a the midst of a national tragedy. Our 4th largest city was basically destroyed, now’s not the time to worry about making money off of it.

Natural disasters reveal the heroes living among us.

My Tundra is at 24K miles and I already need to swap out at least two tires and I’ve never done a single burnout. Maybe it’s just a thing Toyota trucks are good at in general.

If you get it detailed, they charge you the SUV rate. Which is totally understandable given the cavern they manage to squeeze into that car.

I can confirm this. My sister-in-law won a GMC Canyon (same difference) lease in a charity raffle recently, and it’s been relegated to family work truck use. I borrow it anytime I’m going long distances to keep the miles off my truck. It’s also has a much more compliant car like ride, is quieter, does about 8 MPG…

I remember when I was super-impressed by Trinitrons.

Nope, still doesn’t mean what you think it means, sorry.

Yeah, but the only reason I’d ever want something like that was for the room (I’m 6'7") otherwise I’d be driving Miata or something.

Why does that sentence mean that I got stock options WHEN I was 13? You’re coming at me about something I didn’t say, it’s called reading comprehension, get some. If memory serves my first job with stock options was when I was 17.

Just FYI, exhibitions of this sort of inferiority complex only make well off people smile a little to themselves.

Yeah, but they went and shoved this MASSIVE center console in it and ruined all the space it had for the driver.

I could see that, got rid of it after 3 years when I left VT before any issues started.

Hung with different crowds I suppose. I knew like one kid whose parents could have conceivably got them a Z06. He drove a beige 80's F150 Regular cab.

It was actually a platform pillaged from Ford’s purchase of Volvo. It was supremely under-powered, but not a terrible car.

Not true. Actually out of the people I knew that were driving stuff like that in their early 20's most of the time it was drug money. In my case and the case of a few of my friends, we were able to start working as developers when we were 13 and got paid really well and had stock options.

Someone else mentioned that, and I apologize for taking that wrong. However, I’m guessing you don’t know anything about this kid’s finances either. Admittedly the odds on your side, but if you don’t know anything about how the guy bought it, why are you commenting? And what did it have to do with my comment?

T’was, but I was moving to VT, and the V8 RWD vehicle with an LSD that I owned in college was surely going to kill me the second it started snowing.

Then I overreacted. But in that case, does this guy know anything about homie’s life? I started working pretty much full time when I was 13 and 21 years later I haven’t got a break. I get tender when people try to say I didn’t earn what I have.

OMG it was boring, but I’m 6'7" and the space was incredible. It was the first and only car I ever had that I truly fit in. Even my current Tundra has less room.
