I agree it’s important to strike a balance between saving and enjoying life while you still can, but in moderation. For example, instead of spending nearly $100K on that M3 comp, pick up a 3 year old CPO M3 for $55K and put the rest into an investment.

I couldn’t agree more. I can’t tell you how many post I have read in the BMW subreddit showing a brand new $100K M3 or M4 Comp and the question of whether or not they should have bought it with their $100K/year salary. I was very fortunate to hit the 6-figure mark in my mid-twenties but instead 0f buying an $80K M5, I

I suspect that this person Anthony has a sever learning or cognitive disability because I can’t fathom how someone can make such poor financial decisions back-to-back. Sure, I like to drive fun, unique, and fast cars but I would never overpay (or even pay retail) for anything just to satisfy an itch. I have a friend

It blows my mind that the Tonale is a $50K+ vehicle. Granted, I had the Europoor version with less power and FWD when I was in Italy but it certainly did not feel like a car with a $40K+ sticker.

The lower-powered X1 comes to $45K with the premium package that includes everything I would want in a car. The Hornet in GT PLus trim and similar features comes to around $42K which is way too much for an economy car, let alone an entry level premium car. And that doesn’t account for the fact that the X1 has more

I had a Tonale rental car in Italy for a week and a half and while it is a fine enough car, there is no way I would buy one over an X1, which is a much better car, let alone a Q3 or GLB. It was way overpriced, noisy, unrefined, and felt a size class smaller than the X1 despite not feeling any more nimble when

I am surprised State Farm is not on the list. When I was in my mid twenties, I backed into a wall with my Subaru which lead to about $1,200 in repairs, zero injuries, and zero property claims other than for my car. My premiums went from around $1,500 per year to more thank $3K per year.

And that she’s a woman even further upsets that incel.

The older and more financially comfortable I get, the less I want my life to be in the public, whether on social media or in the real world. And after reading about how most celebrities and socialites can’t even go to the coffee shop without being mobbed, or constantly harassed on the internet. I can’t imagine any

Sounds like a car from GTA.

I feel the same way. I love large hatchbacks and wagons but the Celestiq just doesn’t do it for me as the design looks like a jumbled mess, stretched to Fleetwood 75 proportions. The convertible works much better which leads me to think a more conventional hatch or fastback would have been a better way to go for the

2nd Gear - Based on my recent experience with a Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Stellantis has a long way to go to meet quality expectations for an SUV priced to compete with luxury vehicles. Overall, the car felt fine but the interior felt incredibly cheap given its $50K+ sticker price. The buttons felt like they were out of

Even further back, I remember seeing limos with the v-shaped antenna for regular uhf/vhf TV.

Smaller cars are fine with 160-200 hp and midsize and larger cars are fine with 250-350 hp. I had a Tonale rental car in Italy had 160 hp and while it wasn’t fast, it was plenty of power for safe and somewhat spirited driving but the 120 hp Astra wagon I had in Spain last year felt anemic and with unsafe acceleration.

Earlier today when walkthing through Chelea, I saw a guy who looked like an older Richard Grieco and that reminded me of one of my favorite car chase scenes from one of my favorite childhood movies. For those of you Eighties and early Nineties babies, do you remember the movie “If Looks Could Kill?” It features an

It would look great as a 5-door hatch and lower to the ground like a traditional car instead of a weird sporty but bloated looking thing. When I took my wife to go see a Q8 E-Tron Sportback, she laughed at how ridiculous it looked and we happily went back to our nice-looking A7.

I have used TSA pre for the past 15ish years so the last time I had to remove shoes was when I traveled internationally eight years ago.  They may have changed the rules for regular security in the US to match the rules in Canada (ie only bulky boots/shoes have to be removed) since I rarely see shoeless people when I

Some luxury cars now have mounting brackets for tablets on the backs of the front seats.  That only really works for people with longer arms and not kids who are better off with their tablets in their laps.

Also, what kind of losers travel so little that they are in the security lane for poors (non TSA Pre) and have to take off their shoes?  

Holding up the security line for any reason makes you an idiot and/or asshole. Holding up the security line for your own vanity (ie for tiktok or instagram) makes you a HUUUUGE asshole.
