I expected Tony to be a (white) Brad. Now I see who’s pulling the real strings there, his Karen wife.

Huh? The AWD is constant 50:50. 

No. It’s the FB25D.

“AS YOU KNOW....”

Except... that it is not.

“Also — you can’t buy anything in the duty free without a ticket to a foreign country.

That’s the average overall price of new vehicles, not just “cars”.

Our income is 420% higher than the median U.S. income, and I am in no way paying $48k for a car.

I am 41. The oldest of millennials.

Honda did it first (basically)... way back in 1991.

You should go retake your driving test and perform this move with an instructor in the car. They will fail you instantly.

How much for taxes? How much for rent? How much for utilities? How much for groceries? How much for health insurance? How much for gasoline? How much.... you get my drift? How much of that $3000/month is left now?
