Same here. Use the CC for everything. Pay it off every money. The CC companies call me a “deadbeat” because they don’t earn 18% from me. 

I have no doubt that some of the bikers have been ruined for life. The only thing that can help them continue living is a bunch of money from the parents and from the insurance company.

There’s no lessons to teach. His absentee parents have already ruined him for life. They turned him into an affluent entitled asshole and nothing will fix that. Nothing other than maybe a bullet to the head.

You’re assuming you’re getting a decent mechanic and not a screwup though too. If every mechanic could be trusted, I might let other people work on my cars. Most mechanics though are barely competent. Maybe 20% are hot shit. The problem with a rando is you don’t know if you’re getting a good mechanic or bad.

My take as well.  If you want the transmission to last, I’d change it every 60-100K miles.  

I went down the same path. Paid everything off and the house is now mine. Its a pretty liberating feeling not having to pay out $3500 every month on the house. I wouldn’t mind going back into debt to buy a car I really really wanted. Worse comes to worse, they just take the car back if I can’t hack it anymore. 

The root of the problem is that > 50% of the US is really poor but still needs to drive to work every day.   I could see 84 months on a Honda but 84 on a Ford is just asking for trouble.

Paying the cyclists a bunch of money to make this go away it probably better for the cyclist then just putting the kid in jail. Obviously doing both would be the best.

This is a good point. It’s easier to sweep under the table when they’re black or poor.

It’s so god damned ugly though... I like the Tonka truck interior over the Ford and Dodge. They looks like an old person’s interior. The Toyota interior looks younger and fresher.

Same Valhalla felt dull to me. I missed the sci-fi bits that you’d encounter in Odyssey. I wasn’t much for the MC in Valhalla too.

Whenever an “off” was inevitable, I’d steer off the track. I didn’t want to go off sideways because your tires can hook on things like gullies or the gravel traps and flip your car.

This seems like a problem for older cars but not newer ones so much. Old cars hung that cats under the car. Newer ones mount them close to the engine so they light off faster. It would take me hours to get the cat off my Fit. It’s mounted right next to the engine, right below the exhaust manifold.

Whoever told you this is trying to kill you.  Frontal impact is safest impact. The whole car was designed to protect you in a frontal impact.  Side impact, there’s what maybe 8" of space between you and whatever you’re hitting?  

You are talking out of your ass. You’re just making stuff up.

I’ve done plenty a track day. There’s always warning before the brakes are completely done. Blaming this on the brakes just shifts the blame from the driver. It’s always the driver’s fault. Even if the brakes overheat, the driver should’ve known and pulled in to cool them off. Hell, normally you just need to slow down…

This. Track days are by an large safe. The only real issue is people driving beyond their ability. Still, I’d never take a nice car or a car I was making payments on to the track. Accidents happen.

John Wes Townley entered a house where his ex-wife and another man named Zachary Anderson were located and proceeded to attempt to attack Laura and Anderson with a hatchet. Anderson fired several shots from a gun. 

Clearly the record profits show that JD’s current model is working for them and making them a ton of money. JD makes a quality product which is better or equal to any other company making similar products (in my experience, better).

Did you read what I said? I specifically said they won’t do anything about it.
