I’m negotiating with an out of state dealer right now but I’ll report back. They already have it marked down some so I think I’ll likely have more luck with them. I figure with Austin and Houston being so close to each other that I’ll have a pretty hard time getting them to budge. Couldn’t hurt to email the internet…

Slimer? I barely even know her!

My adult life is more of a smedium, thank you very much.

Confirmed, yes. Just email internet sales.

Sooo how would one go about finding out the specifics of the VW incentives specifically? There are a few I’ve had my eye on on the Houston metro area(come to mama manual sportwagen), but they’re wanting MSRP for them. I’d want to nail down what exactly VW is offering before I submit myself to the clusterfuck that is…

Let’s all be friends and agree to use dashpot.

Ha! Yeah, one of mine was for 500 bucks for a nurse to take my blood pressure, then a GP to poke my ankle for a second and call an ortho to make an appointment.

If I had something major hit at the end of the year, I could theoretically be out 30k(15 for one year, 15 for the next in deductible+out of pocket max combined). No matching. I had a very minor broken bone after a very minor spill. The three clinic visits that thing generated cost me almost as much as my bike. Prior…

Don’t forget Muranos.

And take a long, hard look at your shitty high deductible health insurance and HSA(if applicable). Even something minor can fuck you.

I was looking at 4runners on Craigslist last night before bed. YOU AREN’T HELPING.

I hope one of the women didn’t pass up the chance to say “that was my nickname in college”, at the very least.

A lifetime of having to be twice as competent to be seen as half as capable fucking wears on you, man. Dudes don’t understand this because ragging on each other is part of how they related to each other. They get the benefit of the doubt though. The dynamics are different for ladies, especially to some rando watching…

Fuuuuuck this dad. Playing in to stereotypes to embarrass your kids on the internet is shitty. That will be there forever.

That interior is busy as hell. I’ll take that over having a touch screen for everything though.

Those seats look nice as hell(from a butt and back perspective, which is what matters), but is it just me or does the interior look a bit cheap? It looks like someone took the interior of my 07 civic and made it...busy.

To paraphrase a doctor / powerlifter I follow on instagram (dr.jacob.harden), you aren’t as broken as you think. There’s a lot of money to be made in making you believe otherwise.

Shockingly, not really. It depends on the wool! I wear wool socks year round due to delicate princess feet that blister if you look at them wrong + huge clunky metatarsal work boots that are technically considered torture devices by most developed countries. I used to work in a glass plant(VERY HOT) and the wool…

See, having a peppy but not especially well handling(on the highway) jeep has made me a more patient driver versus my track record with zippy little coupes. Zippy cars make me too impatient.

I’m a wrangler driver so clearly I’m a bit damaged in the head...but I would LOVE an EV. Commuting is boring. I’m fine with a boring commuter car. The less it costs me to get to work, the better. However, I live in a small town in the south. I looked at public use charging stations in my area. There’s two. One is…
