I retail cars for a living (8+ years), and you’d be surprised at the number of people who would eschew a reliable and affordable car for a high-maintenance old ‘wannabe’ luxury car because “that’s what I want.” And its historically younger, stupid people who barely qualify for the loan (minimum income, minimal down…

You don’t need a smoke to ‘take the edge off;’ you need to rationally consider whether or not $35-45/carton is worth not being able to do your laundry. Smoking isn’t the cheap fix it used to be.

Like the poor people who wouldn’t buy a reliable $1500 Buick - ew! - but would rather put $1500 down on an Audi or BMW that will obviously be affordable to maintain if it breaks, and they never break down?

With all due respect, this is the fucking dumbest idea ever.

You know, appreciating a certain aspect of an era of time doesn’t equate tacit condoning of everything about that era.

You guys wanted this crap, now you have this crap. Every snarky comment and eye-roll about the front-drive STS, Eldorado, grandpa in the DeVille, etc let to this phenomenal engineering achievement...that should be a $65-85k world-beating PONTIAC.

8 years now. I’m also only 31, so I’m not the burned-coffee-swilling, jewelry-bedazzled, coke-snorting grizzled burnout...yet.

Are you doing any car stuff today?

Iraq was better off under Hussein. Only now do we understand what he had to deal with on a daily basis.

Do you people even own cars?

Where do you think all the ‘special’ people come from, you fucking sponge? Mostly from the ‘enlightened’ parts of the Northeast middle-class whites no longer want to inhabit, so you send the trash down here to Florida.

Big Tim’s was some good ‘Que, I’ll give you that for certain. But that entire area of St. Pete is a borderline wasteland. Stick to 275 and avoid 34th St S.

It might be because people who use bikeshare do it out of choice, not necessity (Multiple DUIs, suspended licenses, etc.)

For someone who is worth that much, you’d think he’d groom better and wear a nicer fucking set of clothes.

Good mothers don’t do cocaine while pregnant. The fact that there are potential good mothers who by medical cirucmstance cannot carry a child and this rag gets to abuse her privilage shows there is no justice.

I will say changing “antitank missileman” to anything else is terrible because that sounds fucking awesome.

$500 cars are gonna $500...

Nixon got shit done.

You think a LeSabre is unreliable? You’re a moron.
