Yeah, I’m 42 and I think, since the time I made it to the “make stupid purchasing decisions solo” age, I’ve only had one auto loan over 5%, and that was almost 20 years ago.  

Jeep: We have traditionally been popular with a lower tier credit customer so to increase sales we are raising prices…by a lot.

Anyone remember this ad? Seems appropriate these days.

Seriously - imagine being so unsympathetic that a towing company so instantly recognizes and does the right thing.

Sad story. Fuck that HOA bitch. But the last part where the towing company came through?  I could die now, because I think I’ve heard it all.  Kudos to them for doing the right thing.

United executives:

Hey, United, that’s not what we all want.  We want more leg room and more shoulder/ass room.  Change your 737s from 3-3 seating to 2-3 seating using wider seats and remove a row. That will make us all much happier than some seatback entertainment system.

Cynical me makes me think it’s so they can push out commerials that we can’t turn off.

Dealers are upset they need to offer incentives after a few years of hyper-aggresively fucking over customers.

The whole nitrogen in tires thing is really annoying, especially since the nitrogen they use is worth less than $1. (A standard 2200psi cylinder is ~230 cubic feet, and the nitrogen cost in a cylinder is like $50.)

I fail to see why anyone would pick this over a Golf R for US $6000 less.

The 2024 Acura Integra Type S Starts at $51,995, Which Is Either More or Less Than You Were Expecting

Just remember that even male models can’t not die in freak gasoline fight accidents!

Credit card statement wouldn’t be enough?

There are enough bad soundbites, looks, and policy decisions that are 100% real.

If the child is X, it stands to reason that his father would give him a $300 chrome Starship model to play with.
