Certainly in my line of work (public accounting), I’ve seen several companies who skirt really close to that line in terms of who is an independent contractor. The IRS is usually pretty loose on enforcement, so the companies who do misclassify usually get away with doing so.

Why’s there a flaccid penis hanging down from the upper console on the inside?

Eh, given the last four years, complete immolation might have been a step up.

Well, on the plus side, I leased a 2016 Jetta for four whole years and turned it back at the end of the lease before any of this was made known to me. So as far as I knew, I had a reliable car.

Though I guess we could get the coupe version at some point, but I’m not holding my breath.

The Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio is a fine sport sedan (or so it’s been said... other than reliability, of course), but it’s still a sedan.

Yes, though I’ve yet to run into that with any of my clients, though a handful probably should be running into such issues.

It doesn’t help that I left out a word in the first sentence (you have to have income...)

You have to income to make the write-offs worth it, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be business income. A loss from a non-passive business can be written off against regular income. Even some passive business income can be written off against regular income to an extent depending on one’s total income.

I’ve had a lot of Fords but never had one with this feature, and I’d never seen anyone use one until just the other day, strangely enough, even though I have seen them on cars for decades now (and knew what they were for).

Judging by how much I paid for just about every single car I’ve owned, I’d say every car I’ve ever owned or will own in the future.

Twenty years ago, I think this 100 year-old car move lack some of the intimidation factor. I might have been willing to kill a guy solely for showing up in a 1900 Cleveland Runabout back in 2000.

Do Mitsubishi dealers even still exist because I heard they were just a rumor at this point?

Why did they only take pictures while driving through an early 1980s music video set?

The Canyon is the Colorado for people who think Buick dealerships are fancy.

Two of Mercedes three cheapest vehicles are newly released or revamped SUVs.

Mercedes has long been lukewarm on manuals in the US even when they still sold them here. 

I’ve bought a series of new manual transmissioned cars almost exclusively going back to 1988.

This is the car you get when you want to pick up prostitutes that somehow look like a young Julia Roberts.

The guy who used to run the Art Center/Museum in my hometown was named Pat McCracken.
