Yeah. My local dealer called me several times a couple of weeks ago to let me know the window to order was closing quickly and that it would probably be next summer before I could order again.

I believe it was Mitt Romney who owned six homes but listed his official residence for voting purposes to be his in-law’s basement apartment.

Disco.

Used to be, the low pay and long hours were more than made up for by the fact that it was relatively easy to murder hookers and hitchhikers and not get caught. But now they’re even cracking down on that.

Yes. A long eight years.

I like her teeth. I’m glad she was able to stick up for herself in that instance.

They should’ve just called the movie “No Way To See It At Home”

Full self-driving cars are an easier technological problem to solve than Kinja, apparently.

Hell, my first Integra was an RS model and had crank windows. It wasn’t fancier than the Civic of the time at all. Much better looking than the Civic of the time, in my opinion, but definitely not at all fancy.

Well, at least they caught it quickly.

My Dad had a 1985 Ford Ranger V6 4x4 he was planning on giving to me when I got my license in ‘87. To learn the manual, he took me to an abandoned parking lot and let me at it with little-to-no instruction (this was, coincidentally, how he taught me to ride a bike).

And he talked about how excited he was about the polio vaccine because he had been so afraid of polio, etc. And I asked him why this was different. He didn’t really have…

I’m not sure how important the AWD is to a lot of people. Much more common to see the FWD crossovers where I am.

Like dealing with the fall-out of the galaxy realizing Palpatine was still alive but isn’t so much anymore by the time they actually get word.

I have a similar go-round with some of my clients, though when they decide not to listen to me and insist on the impossible, they tend to get a letter from the IRS with assessed penalties and interest along with some muffled laughter from me. 

I don’t live in California. I live in Texas, and while there are some limits on how fast property taxes can grow in a year and sometimes there are exemptions of a small part of the value on homesteads (depending on the taxing district), the value that the assessment is based on is market value.

I pay taxes every year on the estimated value of my house regardless of my income and irrespective of the fact that the value is based on money I’ve not collected (and may never) and isn’t limited to the estimated gains.
