Dave Ramsey’s flaw in his logic - his fundamental presumption is I didn’t own the car prior to his purchase. I don’t beat the snot out of my vehicles, but they do get used at their limit very often. Or to take that a step further, many racing schools lease cars from the manufacturer and some do end up on dealers lots…

Used works if you:
1) Value your time at $0.00/hour.
2) Don’t care much about cars and want a transportation appliance (not picky about having things like a MT or the right color or perhaps even a particular model car)

This guy is a fucking idiot. If car loans were like 25% interest, I’d agree with him...pay cash. But they aren’t. You’re be hard pressed to pay more than 4% if you have decent credit, and even at that rate, your money can make more money for you almost anywhere (save for a bank savings account). As for the used vs new…

I work in finance and the “pay cash for everything” people really are hurting themselves. You have to look at opportunity cost and other factors before making that decision.

I don’t like you making fun of the former Dallas Texans. So as a blog writer of sorts to my friends, family and “others” via Facebook the article from Drew is about as poor as it gets!! Is that all it takes to become a staff writer at Deadspin? Well, boy howdy as people think they say down here in texas give me…

Because Alex Smith is an anagram for Le Max Shit, which sounds French.

Sounds like he wants the best candidates and takes his interviewing responsibility seriously.

I didn’t intend to make it sound overly arduous. However, at the end of the day it IS a competition and the best wins. It is my job to seperate the best from the rest. Nobody wins if I fail to do that.

Makes me wonder why are they interviewing you in the first place,

Having interviewed people who, on paper, looked like a good fit, I can say that after one or two questions, in a lot of cases, you can tell whether or not you need to delve deeper. The point about people volunteering experience is true, as well, especially if they can relate that information to my job. It shows me…

So is a Ferrari in Uptown Dallas but it doesn’t keep people from driving around in them.
