Oh yeah - I know - The standard deviations. Had many of those conversation with my Father (a former GM exec) on that. If I am spending $30-$40k on a car - I want to fit into it.  Then again - I buy a car for at least 10 years at a time .. so .. I should be good.

Ummm Well I am thinking of a reason not to. I am in Lynnwood, just south and am doing nothing.  WTF - why not.  I don’t have a crazy car - a 3 year old pickup .. but hey .. why not .. Social Interaction :)

There is actually a fifth thing that is a problem with EV cars. They are not making what people want. I would buy one in a heartbeat, but they haven’t built one I can fit in. I know I am a statistical anomaly but this is what “universal” and “ban” do, you have to get to everyone. I cannot fit in any EV car on the…

I know I am going to get hate for this, but the best interior I ever had on a car, was the Pontiac Aztek. To me, that was peak for design, space, and efficiency. They have all gone downhill since. Features it had, that for a tall fellow like myself, make modern cars shit, compared to old ones.

I personally don’t cook bacon much, but a lot of the time I use it in some type of breakfast casserole. What I do typically is buy it on sale, and freeze it. When comes time to use it, I just open the package (still frozen) and cut it with a sharp knife into 1 inch increments. Basically I make 1" cubes (because most…

I think the thing you are also missing is there is levels of Advisor/Robo-Advisor. There are two functions for advisor accounts. There is the management decisions, and there is the actual execution of those decisions. There is managed/executed purely computer algorithm, there is ones managed by people (then executed…

Are they scams? Very rarely (as scams are fraud) and most of these deals are legitimate, and don’t perform fraud. Are they a good deal? Rarely as the buyers need to turn a profit. You are paying for speed and expediency in the closing process, and not seeking the best deal possible.

Ohh did I have one. I was driving from Indianapolis to Kokomo, Indiana on US 31, winter of 1995 in my 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix. It was a great car but I had all four of my brown pants moments in that car. Anyways - it was 6am, it was one of those nights that only midwesterners know, it rained then froze over night, and…

I am going to say this, and a lot of people are going to hate it, but if you are still trying to modify your teen’s personality, you are too late. Psychologically, children have their base personality at 2 years old, and they get secondary traits by the time they are 5-7. I got primary custody of my son at 9, and it…

I will say this - as usual - it depends. For most Americans within the statistical norm of height and weight and body size, that works. However for people that are short or tall, big or small, test driving is a thing. I am 6'7", and 385 pounds. Think football offensive lineman. If you think I am buying a car without…

I would love to go to therapy sometimes, but there are three reasons why I won’t as a guy.

This is more US based than others. How do you decide how to handle your taxes? US Citizens must pay taxes to the US government, as well as the government of the country you are residing in. Were you able to keep your money in the US (for example use RBS as a bank) and have a US company pay you, but then take out money…

Wow - I read almost most of these 260+ responses and did not see the answer. The reason why the cost is split out, is it is not taxed, and many of the US states require that all taxes and fees be listed separately so you don’t see just one price. Yes the fee is annoying, and yes it is dumb as hell that car…

I have a sleep disorder. I don’t remember the last time I heard the first time my alarm clock goes off. I need the snooze button otherwise I won’t wake up for work. My alarm is set for 45 minutes before I need to wake up and I hit snooze unconsciously 3-5 times before I actually wake up. 

Patrick - You obviously are not tall.  I am 6'3" and I constantly knocked the gear shifter with my right knee - and knocked it out of gear because of where they place it in the center console.  Center console creep is the biggest issue with modern cars.  I drive a Chevy Silverado not because I want a truck, but…

Not the first drum set on the road. Forget the movie, but it is the official video from the band.

Central Indiana here, and Breaded Tenderloin is the thing.

Kolache are Polish. My favorite are Perogies :)

There are many reason why cars and SUV/CUV are separate and people are not buying EVs. However if this were simple, it would have been fixed by now. I drive a Chevy Silverado as my only car (for the record).

Oh I have a story. 1993 and I am in an out of state college 200 miles away. A gal there I met through a campus club lived the next city over and we shared a ride back for Thanksgiving (me paying for gas). This particular holiday weekend the weather was 70 degrees when I left school on Wednesday, so I didn’t bring much…
