Amen. I hate tattoos. And I'm only 37. 

Ahh, the glorious 1990s. When beach babes in advertising shots didn’t have tattoos.

You can get one of these with a mere 150,000 miles for that price.  CP purely because this should be a $6,000 vehicle not $8,000.  NO LOWBALLERS HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS.

A comfortable place to rest my left elbow while holding the wheel. Either a door armrest or window ledge. This is all but becoming impossible with these high beltlines and wider cars. 

No.

I’ve bought multiple sub 3k cars that required next to no maintenance, aside from a quick $100 tuneup.

$10k, that’s what it takes to get a vehicle that won’t almost immediately need some cash sunk into it.

There are lots of good cars that are under $5K you just have to be flexible. Like... maybe (GASP!) buy American!

This is so far from correct. Every vehicle I’ve owned sans one has been under $6k and only one needed major work. But it’s a Ford, so that’s kind of expected.

Conversely, buy a sub-$1k car, stick $3-400 into it, and drive it for years without issue.

Not in my experience. I’ve bought several sub $5000 cars that didn’t need more than $300 in parts in the first year, and one of those was a 12 year old Saab convertible.

Chase Freedom Unlimited, primarily because I plan to pair it with others in the card’s family as I start traveling more via reimbursement, rather than upfront-work-paid airfare.

Oh just fuck off with this shit.

Why this was cross-promoted with Jalopnik I’ll never know. What a waste of an article.

Get over yourself. Are you going to call out everybody, white black and otherwise, who drives a Crown Vic? What about an Impala? Or a Dodge Polara? That last one isn’t very recent.

Slow day huh?

Um, no.

These are literally littering the sidewalks and bike lanes where I live. Theyre tripping hazards, biking hazards, and overall a nuisance.

Excellent.

They should come up with a system where aspiring drivers have to buy a license to operate a vehicle for hire and are subjected to strict licensing/safety inspections by a government authority.
