Years ago my grandma bought a ‘38 Plymouth deluxe convertible on a whim and I remember getting rides around in that in the rumble seat and up front and watching my grandma quiet adept with the controls. Years late I got my turn at the controls. I can’t say it was as intimidating as a model T but it was quite a…
The unloaded guns comment was a joke in reference to the fact that the “neutrality” of the UNPROFOR prevents them from actually shooting at the warring parties. You aren’t “keeping the peace” when you don’t stop the shooting.
That isn’t what happened at all - the UN forces were the biggest problem.
The Democrats created the huge government and spending around woman’s bodies/choices.
You have said it. These, like most push-button impertinences and futilities, are an answer to a problem that never existed and a question no sane person ever asked. The joys of a handbrake, such as they are, are replaced with a nannying frustration and Rube Goldberg complexity. A push-button handbrake makes life worse…
Everything in the article was good (regardless I don’t like or trust them) except the one paragraph where you recite their first listed benefits......
“The electronic parking brake allowed for activation anytime the car came to a standstill, which caused less worry when stopped on a hill or in creeping traffic, and if…
I don’t see it so much as “obsession” as a recognition of basic mathematics.
Kind of amazingly, this is in part because the EPA argues that lighter, more fuel-efficient cars are more dangerous.
Make sure your CPO is not a POS or you can be SOL.
It’s not about standardization. It’s about the fallacy of trusting the manufacturer to accurately report the emissions of a vehicle as opposed to using third party testing and verification.
The answer for everyone is NOT mass transportation. Rural communities and even suburbs cannot rely completely on mass transportation. Some people just need a car to get around the sticks...
Regardless of size, a state shouldnt have the power to dictate Federal Law. The larger picture here is that California wants to shape the Country’s Laws to appease its residents.
GAP insurance sounds like a terrible purchase for most people.
Insurance will pay what it is worth, not what it cost. As soon as you drive off the lot then, even used, the value of the car dips.
It is completely plausible that someone has a loan that is effectively 50% underwater. That’s basically the entire problem with the auto market and its associated financing right now.
Why is that hard to believe? 60 month term with high interest rate, compared with a few years of depreciation, and yeah, the balance on the loan could be worth double the current value (not original value) of the car.
Fair enough. To me, your use of the past tense for his view of the quality, combined with “winds up”, implies he previously had one view but now it is different.
I’ve purchased my fair share of cars from dealers over the years, and I’ve gone from being horrified by the ‘what can we do’ line to sort of loving it. It’s your chance to say exactly what has to happen in order to close the deal. There probably are some buyers that really aren’t sure that they want a car when they go…
Being told, within 100 yards of driving off the lot and apropos of nothing, about how the salesman’s son and a buddy had “tag-teamed” a girl who came to watch one of their hockey games. And being told in the crudest terms imaginable.
