I know I can’t swallow $1000 car payments for 6 years but I can afford to lose maybe 5 grand.

It was particularly off-putting coming from the owner of a Land Cruiser, a vehicle normally synonymous with a history of wise financial decision making. 

OP doesn’t seem to realize that this exact thinking is how financial crises are made. “I can’t afford this thing but I’m gonna buy it anyways”

Yes, I thought that was odd too. The Gladiator was hot for like 2 months (if even that long), then they started getting discounts.

Avoid the first year model, you know the dealers will mark those waaaay up because of demand. 

sometimes know as the Detroit Diesel, or a Jimmy

You underestimate the value rich ghouls find in R A R I T Y. Nobody is going to drive their supercars anyway, so it doesn’t really matter how it drives. 

Talk about stupid, consider this little tale. A few weeks back, I was driving through a smallish town in north Georgia. An area that serious Trump-country. Seems like every other house has a collection of Trump flags flying. As is their right, of course. So anyway, I’m driving along with a Biden decal (just one, not…

That these sorts of people exist is so profoundly depressing and terrifying. What are these inbred, slack jawed, knuckle dragging, assholes in their bro-dozer pick-ups going to do when Biden wins? They don’t seem to have much of a limit - terror tactics on the street. Plotting to kidnap and kill Governors?…

A commuter ebike’s purpose is to get you to work without dealing with traffic and not getting there sweaty. A road bike does not fix that issue, especially if you need to take gear with you.

The whole point of a bike is to get some exercise while going somewhere.

EV’s are heavy, you might as well lean into it. And yeah, moving the bro-truck segment over to EVs will see a lot of direct benefits. 

I don’t get the hate for the electric Hummer. It seems like the best type of vehicle to electrify. People are going to drive Hummer sized vehicles whether they run on gas, diesel, fry oil, recycled Kia Sephias, babies, or electricity. NOTHING will infringe upon our RIGHT to own THE BIG CARS. There’s no reason for them…

You must be the slow kid.

This old Republican (non-Trumper, thank you) remembers when Reagan seriously reduced inspections and oversight of the food industry by the FDA and Department of Agriculture. His reasoning was that business will regulate themselves because producing bad products was bad business.

Ah yes, the misunderstood difference between a write-off and ‘free government money.’

So no one even watched the video then? The guy is just relaying information from the dealer like a review to show us how much this is costing people... he’s not actually trying to lease it for himself.

He even specifically says he can’t afford it to the sales man, saying “I would have to sell everything I own, and them…

Good. Fuck corporations hoarding their tax cuts into stock buybacks and CEO golden parachutes. We can regulate our way to something closer to economic fairness in this country.

Wait, you’re trying to tell me that it’s surprising that one of the most corrupt, self-dealing industies, that’s permanently stuck in the 1970s, getting high off its own supply with stock buy-backs can’t make up its mind about what is best for itself? Well, slap my ass and call me Sally.

“Biden is coming for your trucks” is the new “Obama is coming for your guns”.
