I had to part with my ‘97 S-10 last year. It had 311,000 miles. I bought it in ‘02 with 55,000 miles. Best. Vehicle. Ever.

I have never hit the high miles, the most I ever put on a car was a 1983 Camry (manual transmission) that hit 144,000 miles before I sold it. Its claim to fame was that all three of my children learned to drive on it and it still had the original clutch when I sold it.

It’s not the highest vehicle I’ve ever owned, but I just bought a 911 with 165,000 on the clock, which is a kind of gamble I’m not used to taking.

In 2015, I found a great deal on a manual IS300 with only 125,000 miles. I drove it for about 30k miles over a year and a half until the engine suddenly threw a rod straight through the block. Odd for the 2JZ. When I was getting it diagnosed, the shop pointed out that some of its VIN panels didn’t match.

I’ve owned some 180k+ mile Crown Vics, F150s, and a 250k mile Avalon. Snooze.

I currently drive a Ford but would never buy one again if this got implemented.

So...in a time where distracted driving is becoming more of a danger and increasingly penalized we get this?

I want to see the person who said “yeah I’ll pay that.”

The values of .com companies, IPOs, derivatives, etc are at least traceable back to something tangible. Land, raw materials, patents, the promise of future cash flows etc. One could, and often should, dispute the valuations of those things compared to what underlies them, but there is something there.

I still don’t fully understand crypto currency. You can explain it to me all you want and I understand delivery aspect of every explanation ever given to me, but nobody can ever explain to me why it has value. Most developed countries dollar value is based on their GDP. What’s backing the value any crypto currency?

Like most American companies, Hertz was so heavily leveraged that they couldn’t survive a single unprofitable week, much less a disaster year.

Cryptocurrency is quite possibly the stupidest thing ever invented by the hand of man.

eh, from what i understand a shit ton of this mining is happening in China and mostly running off of coal.

Scientists find high correlation between people willing to take surveys and people that lack basic financial literacy. Details at 11!

40% of the population is stupid and poor for a reason, news at 11.

Aren’t we shitting on Nissan daily because we are comparing them against other manufacturers and seeing how poorly they are doing in that regard?

If by “get the US market” you mean, they sell an SUV then you’re right - it’s not hard to “get” that. Everyone gets that. 
His comment was that Japanese manufacturers are building superior products to the Tiguan, and he’s 100% right.

Well of course you can’t revoke the easement by Fiat. There’s no way you could fit it in there. Even the 500X is too small.
