Audiophiles hate music. That is why they cannot listen to anything but the best.

Have you seen the used market lately? It’s just as insane - if not moreso. Supply is down, and demand is strong, meaning there just aren’t enough cars for everyone. That means it’s a seller’s market and dealers are capitalizing on that. The market isn’t like this because of consumer behavior or “keeping up with the…

I did go into multiple dealerships, basically what I did was work them a bit on price and then once dealer x made me a deal I went to y dealership and told them what x offered. Y makes me a better offer so I go to z, z makes a better offer so I go back to x....round and round. I actually had one sales manager blow up…

I helped build an Escalade for a customer that made over 600 to the tire.

It’s unsettling having something that big, move that quickly.

If you’re paying $150k for this, even a few grand in fees isn’t going to make you blink. Financial barriers only for poor people. Just like crimes that only come with a fine, it’s…

The Venn diagram of people who like the Escalade and think blacked out vehicles are cool are almost a circle. 

...it’s almost as if we live in a nation with precious little respect or protection for regular working people!

We’re. Being. Gouged. 

Quit farting around with yokes.

Before we met, (and while she was single with no kids) my wife wanted a Kia Sorrento. She went to both Kia dealers in town, and both flat-out refused to sell her one. They both condescendingly told her that since she didn’t have kids, she should go for something smaller. She had money and good credit, but they…

Wow.
I’m glad things are going well for you.
Um.

Could I borrow a few bucks?
Who am I kidding, could I have some money?
I’m not good for it, at all, check my credit, but!
I could draw you a great cartoon!
It’d cheer you up, I swear.

The international banking industry is a conspiracy designed to keep the worker bees in their lane, and allow the moneyed elite to play with their lives for fun and profit. Credit agencies are part of that system. And I say this as someone who has worked hard enough to have an 850 score. I go to a dealership to shop a…

Also, call these places and ask them if they are able to get those hard pulls removed! This is something weve been able to do for customers!

This is awful. They should have been more transparent. I imagine the process works largely the same as in the car business, and it looks like you had two sales managers that decided to “Shotgun” you. Which is basically, just firing your credit off to whatever banks thier system allows them to click on, and hope they…

I flogged the living daylights out of my fiancée’s former HHR and it handled the road just fine. Heck, it even had a higher top speed than any normal PT Cruiser that I’ve driven.

The ship has a capacity of 12,000 TEU, though I don’t know if that is by weight or just safe stacking height. The TEU is a volumetric measure based on a 20 foot container length.

This feels like old Jalopnik and I am here for it...

The truly greedy ones were Ethiopian - they took delivery of the accident aircraft after the preliminary report from Lion Air came out and after the Emergency AD and the FCOM (Flight Crew Operating Manual) updates telling exactly how to handle the problem.

Dealerships: “Why don’t people want to buy from us?”

My first dealer experience alone as a young adult was with Napleton Hyundai in the Chicago burbs ~10 years ago, and this definitely tracks. I kept having to turn things down and the F&I guy was getting annoyed with me reading every word of the contract, google some of the phrases on my phone, and asking some questions…
