I know that this entire series is based on unfortunate circumstances, but man oh man has it been a riveting read. You should run afoul of governmental regulations more often.

Purity tests for allies is not a good strategy. Never was. Never will be.

If your habits are such that you change cars every 2-3 years anyway, then leasing is _absolutely_ cheaper than buying. There are some people that are perfectly OK with the idea that they will have a car note for all time if it means they are driving a new car. It’s basically just another utility bill. Financing a car…

It can make sense when leases are subsidized by manufactures with aggressive incentives, or inflated residuals AND if you trade out cars frequently.. Toyota trucks for example, have massively high residuals. If you can lease a new Tacoma SR for $200/month (I have seen this), including tax/registration, and free…

If a little “curb contact” busts a ball joint or breaks a control arm, your car is a piece of shit. Go walk down your street and you’ll probably find curb rash on 9 out of 10 sets of wheels. Then note how many of them also have busted ball joints.

He needs to just come out and admit that he’s not going to finish the books. People would be upset but they’d eventually get over it.  Or maybe they wouldn’t but at least he could get over it and stop having to pretend he actually cares about this shit anymore.  Continually cock-teasing his entire fanbase only to keep…

This is in no way similar to you mounting a canon on top of your Volvo. This would be akin to the Swedish government paying for the development of a new armored personnel carrier, marketed under the Saab name as an “All terrain Ambulance”. It could definitely used as an ambulance, but also the other half of Saab is…

In fairness, China has sort of inserted itself as a potential belligerent in a hot war based on their ongoing (and decades long) approach to Taiwan. It’s certainly not beyond the scope of the possible to see a conflict (even if limited in scope) occurring in the South China Sea - and planes like this would serve an…

That’s a sweet ride. I would totally make you an insultingly low offer on that and get pissed and insult you for rejecting my offer, then ask you if you take payments.

Are you saying infotainment quality shouldn’t matter? If the infotainment system is hard to figure out, that’s a problem. No, it’s not a mechanical problem, it’s a software problem.

Or just people who didn’t sign up to live next to a junkyard. 

Tesla/Crossfit/Vegan was the answer we were looking for, but we can accept yours as well.

I’m a Tesla owner who does Crossfit and orders black coffee at Starbucks. I’ll come to your house and yell through the window if I have to.

John’s a great guy. I gave him a great deal on an awesome Willys, and he reciprocated with kindness.

I work on my vehicles regularly and would have absolutely no problem with a couple non operative vehicles in an neighbor’s yard but when there are literally a dozen vehicles sitting there for 6 months to 2 year I start to worry about rats, wasps, and other vermin nesting in those 12 junk heaps and spreading to my…

Gotta love it when people say “it’s not bad, you get used to it”.  Nah.. it’s still bad, even if you get used to it.  The center-screen-only on the Tesla M3 is like that.

Every driven off road with a manual? Shit is fun yo!

It’s just in the fun of doing it.  Not everything needs to be the easiest way

That’s my neighborhood!

My wife hates when I play the ‘Subaru’ game in the parking lot of Costco or work or on I-5. “Subaru..Subaru..Subaru..Subaru..not Subaru..Subaru..Subaru ..””Shut UP!”..Subaru..Subaru..Subaru..”
