Corvettes have never been about rarity (they’ve never been rare cars). Sure, the 2nd gen Split-Window vettes sell for crazy prices at auction, but those cars are always parked right next to 124 other old Corvettes that are also going to sell for stupid prices. It’s really just about age, and the C4 isn’t old yet.

I don’t know what number you start with, but getting a 700-800 Credit Score is incredibly easy. All you have to do is refrain from buying things you can’t afford. If you don’t have $1000 in your bank account, then don’t buy something that costs $1000. Simply use your Credit Card a few times a month and then pay the…

There’s already millions of these places. The problem is that these particular customers are undesirable. These are the type of people who don’t like to pay their debts. It’s not reasonable to loan money to people who probably won’t pay you back, so in order to alleviate some of that risk, you have to charge them more…

We already have financial literacy classes. It’s called MATH.

If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and buy a portable Jump Starter. They’re a lot smaller and a lot more powerful than they used to be. Something like the Hulkman Alpha85 is powerful enough to jump a V8 with a completely dead battery. I keep one in every car I own. It’s small enough to fit in your glovebox…

Yeah, I’m sure the market is different now, but I bought a ‘95 6-speed manual 3 years ago for that price. I sure as hell wouldn’t pay that much for a pre-LT1 engine. The C4 is a car that really takes A LOT of work to become a daily driver. It’s not so much the mechanical stuff, but everything else. The roofs all get…

Not quite. Good looking C4 seats are actually a very high-demand item. This isn’t a Nissan Rogue. Everyone who still owns a C4 Corvette wants it to look pretty, and the first thing they’re looking for is a new pair of seats. To make it worse, the seats came in about 6 different colors, which really narrows down the…

Times like these are a good reminder of why it’s good to be handy. If you have just some basic knowledge on DIY repairs, then you’re going to fare a lot better during this economic crisis. Car repairs themselves usually aren’t terribly expensive; it’s the labor that is. There are some jobs that a mechanic will charge…

Thank you for being one of the few people who actually understands this concept. The value of your car shouldn’t be part of the equation unless the sale of your unreliable car can practically pay for a reliable one. Most people say, “My truck needs $3000 in repairs, but the entire vehicles is only worth $5000. Welp, I…

I’m not trying to dismiss any injustices, but racism on this level is only important if you live your life on the internet. It’s not as “real world” of an issue as it seems. The fact is, there are black voice actors these days. That means we’re making process. That means that the studios don’t care about race, and…

There is only one trim level of this ranger that’s worth any money, and that’s the FX-4. The FX-4 is the top trim in regards to luxury (power windows, door locks, rear doors that actually open, and rear jump seats), and also in regards to utility (reliable V6 engine, 4X4, limited slip differential, slight lift).…

That would be insane. Too much effort for too little return.

There’s a difference though. A certain Spiderman action figure will cease production. There is a finite amount of them. They cannot be copied. Someone could try to copy one, but due to the intricacies of manufacturing, theirs would always be fundamentally different from an original (even if it looked the same).

This really has nothing to do with gaming though - It has to do with the internet. People on the internet are trolls and haters. They will find any excuse to put someone down. You’re a woman? Well that’s what we’re gonna use to ridicule you. You’re short? You’re bald? You have a high pitched voice? Internet assholes…

Oil Filters and oil drain bolts should be tightened with one hand (if you’re a man of average strength). I always crank it as tight as I physically can with one hand, and I’ve never once had anything come loose or leak.

Weird comparison. Long Island is one of the most expensive places to live in the entire world. It also has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. LI is made up of mostly really wealthy people with great jobs and education. After them, there’s equally wealthy blue collar people who own body shops and…

Yeah, a lot of people who can’t do math will run into a $3500 repair and then decide that it’s more financially responsible to finance a brand new $40,000 car.

Is there a reason you can’t just pay for the repair? A head gasket job only costs $1500-$3000. Why would you need to do a whole engine swap? And what would you gain by selling the vehicle? With the head gasket issue, the car is probably only worth $1000. You could just spend $2000 on the repair and have a running car…

The “monthly cost” rule is a good rule, but I want to point out that it’s a situation that almost never happens. An old car might require a engine rebuild, or a new transmission, which costs thousands of dollars. So over the course of a year, the cost of maintenance might be the same as a new car payment. But after…

Yeah, this guy’s options cost as much as my entire truck.
