It all depends on that dealer’s market. If they feel they can sell the car for more than $5k, then no. If they feel they aren’t going to unload the car any time soon for more than $5k, then yes.

If you had a good point, I couldn’t see it through your teenager text message-style spelling.

Wow, man. I would be all over either of these if I had a charging station at work. I should double check, but I’m pretty sure we don’t. I can’t charge at home, so it would be impossible to own an EV for me, but I didn’t realize how cheap they have become.

I’d buy a $5,000 Fiat 500e, if only I had a place to charge it. Damned condo community garage with no outlets!

Stef and Kristen both have fantastic suggestions. My first two thoughts were for James to either replace the Corvette with an IS-F or keep the Corvette and buy a cheap newer car for kid duty- maybe a 2015 Mazda2 for $5k.

Lyft is so fucked on this assault case. They created a background check policy, then didn’t fulfill their promise to institute that policy, exposing their passenger to harm.

Holy crap, you weren’t joking! These categories/nominees and winners are ridiculous:

It’s GM’s version of the “gram strategy.”

Great, now we’re gonna have to build the wall all the way down to Ecuador.

Above-ground airplanes.

To be fair, you may not have been able to just walk onto a plane unchecked in the 1950s, if anyone suspected you of being a Commie.

But every insurance company won’t provide the same quote. Many insurance companies raise rates simply because they think they can. Most financial advice recommends people shop their insurance premiums at least annually, anyway. I’m not saying I am this diligent, but if my rates went up, I would absolutely make sure I…

Yeah, just like I am just as much an owner of my apartment as my land lady is, right? Haha.

Time to start shopping that premium.

What if I’ve already spent all my money on depreciating assets and haven’t developed any other skills by 30, but I didn’t have the millions to begin with?

But who get’s the payout?! The narrator didn’t seem terribly close to his family. Why be concerned for the amount of the payout?
