Sorry, but I found the dopest motorcycle for sale online (craigslist in this case)...and I bought it yesterday:

Agree to disagree. Digital has an unarguable clarity to it but it lacks the warmth of analog. That’s the crux of it. Well, also, you never have to clean a computer file or worry about scratching it.

You may be unaware of how the economy is actually functioning right now. It’s doing great, although, yes, minimum wage and other service jobs pay poorly.

I think this is worth repeating:

This! A 1,000 times this!

Oh, not necessarily, I was just going along with the Jalopnik writers suggestions. And when Tom McParland is the one saying “Miata!” you have to pay attention.

Something that has at least a 170cc engine will make it highway-legal throughout the USA (assuming we’re talking about street-legal motorcycles with headlights, taillights, brakelights, turn signals and mirrors). I would say anything under 400cc is a great bike to learn on. Even better, unless you can afford a new…

Steve, I’m with you re: motorcycles. But, no, the XR150L can not go everywhere: it isn’t freeway-legal in the USA. It needs to be at least 170cc for that. Otherwise, it is cheap urban transportation and easy enough to transport for off-road riding.

Yeah, too bad it wasn’t posted at 4:20...

Dude/Babe! So wrong. It’s in the title:

Yeah, and a Sawzall will get that roof off in no time!

Although I do enjoy a little schadenfreude over these videos, I have to admit my own incident with a box truck and a low overhead. I was in a very bad place in life and not thinking too clearly (oh, it happened in Vegas and I was temporarily homeless, too). I had a bunch of my stuff in the back of a 10' U-Haul truck,…

First: Elizabeth! I adore you and enjoy your writing. I can tell by this piece that you are just jonesing for the 2023 F1 season to begin this weekend. My advice: ease up on the caffeine!

I just wanted to applaud you for being so nice with this list of stuff to do for the OP on their visit to Durham.

Oh, no, I wasn’t suggesting that. Just that nobody should be “investing” in collectibles with the intent of striking it rich at some point. I think that you l”ove having them around” is the perfect, and only, reason for buying such stuff. You know, that Marie Kondo “spark joy” kind of thing.

FYI, this happens ALL the time with many different products, particularly with clothing. Sure, a lot of the extra stuff ends up at Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, etc., and some of it gets donated (like all of those unsold “Superbowl Champions!” t-shirts), but a lot also finds it’s way into landfills.

Capitalist excess!

“No, honest, Mom and Dad! There value will go up again!”

Funko Pop!(s) as an investment?

Regardless of the advice or the comments below, I don’t see any point in paying your credit card bill more than once a month. And if you actually track all of your expenses and wait until you get the bill (preferably via email notification), then you can actually verify that all the charges are correct.
