The comments section of Doug DeMuro posts are the weirdest place I've ever been in my life.

A Singapore man was ordered to repay $19,000 to a car dealership for taxes and insurance on his Aston Martin; guess what he used?

Hey ya'll, ya wanna read the fascinating story of what it was like being a Topgun instructor while they filmed Topgun?

TOUGH! Suck it! Buy the book, freeloader!

No problem. I'm not an expert in business, but hopefully it helped. The biggest reason most businesses fail is that the person has a passion, talent, or skill in a particular area, but no business experience or skills. I'm continually studying and consulting with successful people in my field as well as business in…

It seems you are assuming that sole proprietors don't earn a wage. Or maybe shouldn't earn a wage. But that's up to that business owner.

I firmly believe that the invoice amount should not merely be the amount that you would earn on a paycheck working for someone else. As a business owner, there are a ton of costs -…

Well, this is part of the thing, people buy a camera and instantly they are a "photographer". No one buys a hammer and declares himself a "carpenter", or a wrench and then a "plumber". And then they sell a photo to someone, for any price, and they are now a "pro".

This is where photography is at. You have a ton of people - that have either worked decades at a job they don't like or are just kids right out of school - that get a $500 Canon Rebel and think that all they should charge is $25/hr for photos since that's a "good hourly pay", when it's a service that should run 10x…

I'm guessing the difference comes down to how you come up with your "hourly rate".

I'd bet that the estimator is taking that as either a pay rate or an hourly cost rate. In either instance you would want to pad that. If it's your pay rate, you'd pad it to cover costs and overhead, and if it's your hourly cost rate -…

If I suddenly took up hairdressing, then I'd consider it.

"Perhaps most disturbingly, it looks like the car that strikes this woman tries to drive away..."

No, no. Most disturbing is that some idiot ran into traffic and then directly in front of a car that was already there.

I would classify slowing walking in front of traffic on a highway in order to stop them as "acting suspicious."

But I'm crazy that way.

He'll just let the ne'er do wells know that he's a big defender of shady as fuck individuals on the internet and they'll let him go.

Or, cones blocking a highway with no flares or lights, and acting suspiciously.

Or just the hoodie.

"if you go away for a week, you may return to a house with no plumbing."

I'm pretty sure both articles are saying they didn't try hard enough.

There are a ton more replies here since I first read this article, so I dont know if these links have been added, but here are some interesting things: a blog post from the editor of the commercial/film http://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/…

and one from the guys that did the interactivity. http://www.stinkdigital.com/en/wor…

Nice! And ugh, I've thankfully forgotten about old cars and smog issues. I'd probably look into an engine swap anyway. Something newer, about the same size, but better mpg.

I'm in L.A. and have been looking for a late 70s LUV for the past few years. Very few to find - when they do pop up they are either 80's Truckin'ed to death, or they are old purple Magic Muffler long beds. My first car was a 76 LUV, I bought it when I was 14 and sold it before I even got my license.

Did everyone vote to change it to "hair dresser's car" in the "Don't Say Chick Car" article's comment section?

I cant tell you how badly I want the Juke-R. And I've always loved the Rally Fighter but it's much lower on my list. (It would be a purely-for-fun car, while the Juke is my ideal daily driver.)
