Yeah I’m also at the point where I can afford it now but it’s a little irresponsible. One more promotion though and then most of that guilt goes away since I could still save a solid amount every month and meet all my goals.

If you’re making over $200k combined, have a mortgage (even in California) and kids, it’s actually not that hard to afford a $1,000 a month lease unless you’re living wildly out of your means in other areas.  

This is what happens when a very small vocal majority get to blindly cancel culture everything. Oh something might be slightly racist or sexist? Just make broad assumptions and cancel it, and assume the person is a card carrying KKK member. I’m a big liberal and honestly it’s just getting sickening. People don’t get…

Looks like they have leadership that realized “Oh shit, we’re going to be out of business in 10-15 years if we don’t aggressively convert to electric.” And now due to that very risky move they’re the ones that will be putting companies out of business.

Except that’s 100% not true, they never asked casters to stop saying Hong Kong, they asked them to either call them by their full team name Hong Kong Attitude or their abbreviation HKA.

Who doesn’t like buying a $130K car and then selling it after 5 years for the price of a new Honda Civic?

The real question is, why would I want this car over a similarly priced 911 GTS when acceleration is about equal, handling will always be better in the Porsche, lower curb weight, a better quality interior, and actual reliability?

I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand that the supposed “P100D+” is an extremely early prototype, hand built by engineers, with non-street legal slicks, and a brand new chassis, suspension and three motor setup all still in active development with zero safety or reliability testing. Will that prototype’s battery…

Taycans have been rolling off the production line for a few weeks now, and the first units typically go to German buyers first, then the rest of Europe and then USA, so that’s a convenient requirement you have there. A car doesn’t “exist” until it it’s sitting your drive way. The new Plaid Model S won’t be produced…

No UppaBaby Vista?

No UppaBaby Vista?

These are good questions.

The real question for everyone is, would you give up exhaust sound if you could pay $12 to “fill-up” on electricity at home versus dropping $60 on Premium Unleaded? Exhaust notes are great but I think I’d rather save about $7,000 over 5 years. That alone convinced me on EVs. And also not destroying the planet is kind…

I think people will still cross-shop them, especially when the Base and 4S come out, but they’re in a slightly different category. Tesla Model S is more a grand tourer, large and comfortable, perfect for road trips and families, but also wicked quick off the line. Taycan is clearly marketed as a sports car, it’s…

This was the money shot for me. They made the transmission out of solid polished Space Gray.

It may surprise you but Latin has been a dead language for over a thousand years. Meanwhile words in modern reality continue to take on new meaning. So yes it doesn’t make sense from a historical linguistic perspective, but oh well. Why don’t you go back to yelling at kids on the street for saying “YOLO”.

Where are you guys getting your P100D costs from? I literally check every box on a P100D and it’s $113K. Ludicrous mode has been free/included for the last 6 months.

Welp, I was actually interested in the Taycan for a long time especially with the initial rumors that the base model would start around Panamera/Cayenne (75k), but if a Turbo is a 153K, that means a 4S will be at least 120K, and a Base will be 100K. That pricing is pretty insane if that’s what it ends up being.

I don’t know if it was the old generation demanding all those changes, moreso than it was Blizzard continually oversimplifying the game in order to cater to new players and casuals for the purposes of growth and quarterly profits.  The funny thing is, I’m a casual at this point in my life and I can’t stand retail WoW,…

I’m willing to bet there was practically no server CapEx cost. These days servers are virtualized. Their main retail WoW server cluster is probably running at a fraction of the utilization since the launch of BfA. They probably spun up 20 VMs and called it day.

This take is ancient history. I think the Greeks inscribed this on the Temple of Poseidon.
