HAHAHAHA!!!!

Then this guy knows even less than I do! Thanks for the info. I had a friend who had to take mifepristone for a miscarriage, and I thought it contained the same ingredients. The difference is, I’m not trying to stand in the way of someone making decisions as a reflection of my personal opinions.

100% on point.

The Trade is a Trade one kind of misses the point, and I’m not shocked it comes from a car seller. This is really about how the deal is put together, and not talking about all the other stuff — down payment, trade-in — until we agree on a price.

You’re 100% right about the 50/50, and I understand how a small business would move things around and make some capacity for an order that represents a huge sale, but that’s the lesson, right?

100%

I know! I’d buy this tomorrow if it was available in the U.S. If I could get it with a stick shift, I might buy two! I still tool around town in a 1994 Dodge Dakota on the weekends. It’s stuck a simple vehicle, and does just a couple of things very well.

I guess it’s cool they’ll release the extended cab here. I’ll…

“go shit in your hat directly”

They really should hire (if they haven’t) some of Toyota’s or Honda’s design, manufacturing, and supply chain talent. Many years ago, Toyota changed how EVERYTHING in the world is manufactured.

Good commentary on this. This is genuinely upsetting. Just like the lack of women in college football calling major games on national TV. They’re all on the sidelines in the most and least symbolic way possible. Those people have jobs, however.

My grandpappy used to say, “Son, sometimes a mule gets snakebit, and it ain’t ever the same. The only thing for it is to take it fishing or dig a hole.”

Yeah that made me realize that someone has been watching Breaking Bad again.

The low-effort business model is a really big reason. These businesses are exceedingly profitable, and all you need is a good location because the initial investment and ongoing cost is minimal relative to things like fast-food joints.

You’ll be glad you did. Crazy story, and I never knew about it until seeing the documentary.

I used to cover cops and crime for a small newspaper in the U.S., and I got to know the cops fairly well because they were sources. One report I saw had a charge of “threatening arson.”

Yeah, that’s what I would say. Or I might say, “Man, the traffic was clear and I didn’t see you, so I dropped it into 4th so I could get home faster, but yeah you got me.” (That actually helped me once... still got a ticket but it was VASTLY lower than I deserved.)

Do you live in the U.S.? You can refuse a breath test, and you can refuse to have your car searched if they don’t have a warrant. I don’t think any of what you mentioned would be legal in the states at a traffic stop. If you refuse a sobriety test, they can suspend your license immediately in some states.

I once got stopped at a four-way stop because me and the cop tied, and I went ahead illegally on the left. I just didn’t see him, and he quizzed me on what I should have done.
