I prefer Puerto Rican, but that’s just me (shrug).

Sure, but many Black Americans have no emotional or cultural connection to Africa either. So for her to conflate an image of Africa somehow being exclusionary to Black Caribbean culture is highly odd. I’d argue the culture is even more relevant to the islands given the major expression of African culture, art, music,…

“The continent of Africa appears several times on a vehicle supposedly meant to celebrate Black Americans (which...did Miami of all places forget Black Caribbean Americans?)“

Carmax put a big yellow bow on my car when I bought it. They didn’t let me keep it though. 

I cannot deny your perspective.... that’s the funny thing about ethics. We all don’t share them, or the idea of what is right and wrong. In my opinion, there are so many not easily characterized as“equitable” or “right” decisions in the show... Some of these examples below would make for great discussion in a group…

You mention all these shows and just happen to forget Deep Space Nine? C’mon man! :)

For his defense, maybe just a bit, it might be the case that these are “his” costs per hour per employee he’s citing, e.g. all employer paid benefits, match, and health insurance costs included. (I cannot say with certainty, but that would be my guess). 

10 or 12 years from now it won’t be operable when you can’t find any gas stations.

Yes? The R35 came out in 2007. And with inflation, it doesn’t cost much more in today’s dollars than the current model in 2022. That’s the point. It’s been basically the same price given inflation from 2007 all the way to present.

The base MSRP from 2008 is only $15K less than the current base MSRP in 2022 dollars.

Volvo was doing that before Chevy.

Copper.

As an owner of its descendent, I approve. Nice price.

YES.

Admitted bias (as owner of one), and probably not going to be on radar for most, is Volvo’s SI6.

If you make $15k a month, you don’t need a $1000 payment. You could be maxing out your 20.5K/year 401K limit, doing a $6K backdoor IRA, and still bank well more than enough to just drop money on a car you want. 

Except those same $200k+/year families also overextend themselves in every other aspect of their lives, and then complain that they don’t make enough. I hear so much whining from folks who make this level of money - when I point out their lifestyles, they get defensive and feel that they’re entitled to do what they do…

Invested in what? Everything’s in a nosedive this year. Unless you’re speaking about tens of thousands of dollars still owed, I’d pay the car off now.

I know my employees salaries. I also know the vehicles they buy. I don’t know what they’ve paid for them, but I can do the math, and it’s not pretty. 

Exactly.
