Saying that this Presidency is based on white supremacy and enriching the rich is just hyperbolic.

He only hires con-artists, noisemakers and fog machines.

Trump-era policy actions are based on white supremacy, further enriching the rich, and undoing Obama-era legislation. I don’t even know if the order of those three are interchangeable anymore.

Too bad you had a 2002. This is EXACTLY why I sought out a 2003 w/ ALH, and it was honestly, perfect. I had it from 42k miles to 166k, and the only things that ever went wrong with it were parts that I fucked with. I.E. intake piping coming loose after I modded it, fuel gelling in the fall because I ran straight…

I was gonna say that any preventative maintenance is too much for a David Tracy car, at least prior to purchase.

there are 3 functions. You forgot “how much damage can this cause if it breaks?”

I suppose I probably wouldn’t quantify any of those things as preventative maintenance since the Jeep is old enough and hasn’t been driven all those parts probably NEED to be replaced. I’d quantify preventative maintenance as that which you do to prevent the car from getting to the state that yours is in.

PM is a function of two things:

If there’s a greater take-away here, it’s that I think it’s worth it to get yourself a car that you really like, deep in your gut, even if maybe it’s not the absolute most rational choice.

Why would your fob be outside of the car in rush-hour traffic?

“K-cups are the most wasteful innovation in beverage technology”

Have you ever worked at a start-up? Long hours, low-pay, high-pressure. It’s not a government union job. It’s not for everyone, a lot of people can’t or won’t handle it. And when have you seen a good Tesla news story here. Almost all are bad.

Engines that are lower compression that can’t utilize higher octane gas aren’t harmed by higher octane gas, but they will be less fuel efficient (some say 5-10%) and you are throwing away money.

Older cars simply won’t tune for higher octane, some actually get worse economy from higher octane fuel. It will be no benefit to them except higher prices at the pump.

Shhhh..... journalism is taboo here.

If you dig too deep, you’ll scare them and they’ll just toss up Youtube video after Youtube video until everyone’s forgotten and its safe to come back out.

higher octane gas—usually 95 or 98 octane—is already common across Europe

That’ll be great for all the older cars still on the road requiring 87 octane.

Hm. I’m thinking of giving mine a mini-restoration and letting my kid drive it in high school. Good move, or the best move?

Wow, you mean to say that a used luxury car is cheaper than a new one? Holy shit!
