I think you misread my point about steering. The F30 and G20 have crap steering which is pretty much what I wrote. Their ride/handling leave much to be desired as well.
I’ve owned three euros. Two were quasi reliable but maintenance intensive. As for my E90 335... it was a tragedy. We’re not talking about intense or…

I knew the guy who invented the very first automatic shutoff pump. It’s since been improved upon with better tech, but his was the first. He died in ‘05, but I knew him and he was genuinely in the 99th percentile of human intelligence.

The three series is unreliable and fragile. Until the F30, the base 3 series was dog ass slow and never all that fuel efficient. Prior to the E90, even the faster [edit] 3 series wasn’t really that fast. The interiors have generally been a nice place to sit, as long as it doesn’t have the standard seats. Everything…

the Corvette had an old lady Cadillac engine in the 90's.

I was waiting for you to slide in on this one :)

Forgive me, I completely forgot about the C4 ZR1. So there were two instances in history where they were fairly direct competitors.

Unfortunately, I think the BMW 3 series is the most overrated vehicle of all time.

Dividends are our friend. I own several stocks that have underperformed the market by a pretty wide margin but pay fantastic dividends. Royalty trusts are pretty fantastic in this regard. I’ll keep them as long as they keep paying out.

I don’t know anything about their 3rd party supplier business.

That could not be further from the truth. Many people purchase many individual stocks because of their dividends. If one only purchases stocks on the prayer that someone else will pay more for them in the future, one may as well just stay in commodities. It’s a great way to learn a lot and lose your ass to the tune of…

Good on you! I’ve realized some gains and bought several dips. What’s funny is, this all started for me because I made a bad bet in May of 2014 when $F was $15.98 and the price immediately started tumbling. I didn’t think that was right and decided if I was in for a penny, in for a pound. I continued buying every…

I agree. “They” say to replace one’s mattress every decade, and a top notch mattress runs ~$1800-$2k. IDK what a charger costs, but amortizing that cost over just eight years is a real kick in the shorts.

That’s not being a smart investor at all. Look at $F over the last year and then look at $TSLA.
Full disclosure, I own an obscene amount of $F relative to my income and net worth.

Not really a hot take, it’s absolutely a contributing factor. Demand for stocks has risen dramatically because of the reduced barriers to entry. Before the mid-90's, you had to know a guy (literally almost always a guy) and have $10k to invest at the bare minimum to start investing in the stock market outside of your…

I’m here to watch all of the people who don’t understand >half of the excerpts in first gear to start commenting on stock prices and market capitalization.

I’ll go to battle for my pick, which made the list. I love cars. I appreciate all kinds of cars, even regular cars for what they are. The Tacoma is just worse than its competitors but sells extremely well because it’s overrated. I’ve driven them all, because I drive rentals weekly and Enterprise typically has a good…

No country of palestine exists, thus there are not “Israeli settlements” there are only Israelis who live in parts of Israel.

Nobody said Busch light or copenhagen. I’m disappointed.

Your second paragraph is why they’re so terribly overrated. The majority sold sticker for over $35k and for that money, it is a travesty. For $22k OTD as a pickup for the Orkin guy.... not so bad.

The Tacoma is a dog ass terrible pickup, the cult following is just that- a cult. Gutless engine, bad transmission tuning, big time dive & squat from the suspension, cramped cabin, awful infotainment.... but at least they’re expensive.

I’d also like to throw all Teslas in the ring. In my experience, they drive just…
