Absolutely. I sure didn’t have any advantages growing up. Paid my way through college and most would consider me pretty successful now. I have siblings, being younger and got more advantages than I had, not have the same success simply due to a poor work ethic.

Have friends who did the same; hard work and

Again, want - want - want. Not need. Cut back on wants, get your finances in order, and magically the ability to take vacations and getting other wants gets easier and easier.

This isn’t even an income issue, as this is a problem with those below the poverty line and folks well into 6-figure incomes.  It is folks

How about people be financially responsible and not go into debt to take a vacation? This “I deserve it” attitude is a big reason many people struggle with money, putting wants before needs.

38% of Americans  have $500 or less in savings.  That’s a huge problem.  I bet 90%+ of those people have luxury items they don’t

Not saying he isn’t a racist, but it also isn’t a lie:

We already established you hate white people.  Thanks, we get it.  It’s nota  mindset - you put it out there plain as day.  Now, please let us know how you know what the race is of anyone in this article.  

Obviously you are a blatant racist, but please explain how you know the race of anyone involved?

I will be shocked if those teenagers had enough insurance coverage to cover that kind of damage.

I paid 27k for a 15 year old car with less features.  But it isn’t a FWD Hyundai...

The “shark fin” antenna does not necessarily contain the AM/FM antenna. My ‘18 truck has a Shark Fin (like pictures on the Silverado) above, but also has a whip antenna. The Shark Fin is for GPS, OnStar, and SiriusXM.

I’m all for no over the air radio at all.  If I have a vehicle with a whip antenna, I either remove it

I realize things still get funded. But that “pot” is like a credit card...it’s not money you actually have, you just keep spending it like it was. The difference is they will just print more money, devaluing our money further.

The correct solution these wimps in DC won’t do is balance the budget back to the black,

It’s not splurging - it is putting the correct fuel for what the vehicle requires.

- My ‘18 Sierra with the 6.2L L86 requires premium
- Wife’s B8.5 S4 with the supercharged 3.0L requires premium
- LS7 in my C6Z required premium stock and would be a VERY bad move to run anything else with the mods on it
- LS1 in my boat

I haven’t driven this model, but have a modded 500ish HP version.  They are heavy pigs.  Neat cars but need a good 1000lb weight reduction.

What regular pot?  The country is over 28 trillion in debt and rapidly growing.

What, you like putting this country into the shitter? I was totally against those supposed tax “cuts” dumbass Trump put into place (where magically my taxes went up).

You sound like someone that likes handouts.

How about we balance a budget and start making meaningful cuts.  We are taxed enough...we spend far too much.

Have you ever actually bought a new vehicle? For most vehicles, manufacturers offer incentives that vary from month to month. A truck I’m interested in lost 2k in incentives in May over April (not that there was any inventory to purchase from my go-to dealer). Tesla just doesn’t do incentives and does this instead.

I am absolutely not a Republican (and even more so not a Democrat), but the majority of Biden’s bill does NOT cover repairs like this.  

Taxes are high here. It’s amazing how much of my money goes to the following taxes:
Federal Tax
State Tax
Local Tax
School District Tax (not everywhere has this, but I get to “enjoy” it)
Property Tax
Fuel Tax
Sales Tax
Various taxes similar to sales tax, like utility taxes, BMV fees, etc.
Social Security I will likely never

  • $174 billion in electric vehicle investments
    Laws can fix this without my tax money being involved. Simply force auto makers into making more electrics if that is your directive

We are already seeing massive inflation.  We don’t need your minimum wage hike to add to it.
