I blame movies for this “unheard hero” mentality we have an abundance of in this county. How many movies have the plot where the lone, brave scientist/cop/doctor/etc. is the only one that can see the truth and the government and the people just won’t listen, so you gotta do something big so all the cameras turn to you…

Americans treat laws as more of an inconvenience that can be ignored if the feeling strikes. When they do DUI checkpoints around here they get a handful of drunk drivers and dozens and dozens of unlicensed drivers. I used to work in an office where we’d get the daily arrest log. I was astounded at how many people got…

Fast food really does not travel well.  I can’t imagine getting a fast food burger and fries 45 minutes later.  It’s garbage at that point.

This is what we do. Call ahead, it’ll be ready in 20 minutes, get in the car and it takes around 20 minutes to get there, it’s ready to go and piping hot when we get it.

Whenever I see someone order through Door Dash or whatever I tell them to order directly from the restaurant because those third party services take a cut from the restaurant as well.  And I get met with, “But it’s convenient.”  Now when your favorite restaurants close because some tech bro had his hand in their…

Little trick I’ve discovered is sometimes the high priced cars you can buy new will show up on the used car market for a pretty significant discount.  I got a DeLoren for about $80,000 less and a Viper GTS for about $60,000 less.  You just can’t pick the color, but you couldn’t on the DeLoren anyway.

I got an invite to buy the Carrera GT pretty much immediately when I had a Honda Fit and $4,000 in my bank. I was like, “Cool, yeah, I’ll be right down to the dealership with that $1.3 million in the next day or so.”

Grosjean was astounded when he got to the Indy Car paddock that you could just see everybody else’s garage and look at their car.  F1 is so secretive and restricted.  Indy Car is like, “Eh, we all have the same car anyway.  Want to see our paint scheme?”

I bought a Focus that was a suspiciously good price. They tried the, “we can’t find it, oh that was the wrong price, etc.” I showed them it listed on their website with the price advertised. I called ahead and verified it was on their lot 30 minutes before I arrived. So we drove around in their lot golf cart and found…

When you get your motor running, head out on the highway, and looking for adventure you’ll pay any price.

Toyota Dealers: How can we screw this up and alienate everybody so nobody buys these and then Toyota kills it?

Cool, be on your way then.

Always a good business decision to sign a contract with a country that may hold you hostage if they don’t get what they want.

Maybe that was downhill with a tailwind because it certainly didn’t feel like it could do that.

I rented one of these through Turo in Seattle.  THE best steering car I’ve ever driven.  Felt nearly telepathic.  However, it’s underpowered and slow.  It looks amazing (in red,) but it’s extremely cheaply built and feels very low quality inside.  I loved looking at it, but it’s sexy looks don’t match the anemic…

I bought a 2017 Genesis G90 Ultimate 5.0 from CarMax a little over a year ago. From what I gathered is that for run-of-the-mill mainstream cars, they are way overpriced. For niche cars that don’t sell very quickly, ie luxury sedans that are a little on the pricy side, they are very competitive. When I was shopping for…

I know of a bunch of Californians that moved to Idaho. Originally it was for cheap housing, but then eventually their story mutated to, “there’s less brown people.” So a WHOLE bunch of racist white people moved from California to Idaho and now their housing prices are in line with San Francisco’s. So no more cheap…

I understand that ignorance is bliss, but do these idiots have any idea how much everyone else is laughing at them daily?

I checked all of California and it’s nearly entirely Hyundai and Kia dealerships.

Is California just the boogeyman to every other western state? I hear that everywhere. Every problem they have, housing prices, traffic, politics, comes from California transplants. I guess no other states’ populations move to other states. Only Californians.
