I find this article quite disgusting in it’s liberalness. How the heck does supporting a political party equate to racism?? For that matter, how can you sit there and say supporting one side of an opinion over another is sabotage? Perhaps their ratings are declining because of change, not lack of change.

Considering they’ll probably sell 10 of them in the US, it wouldn’t make much sense to offer two transmissions.

Why does mazda HATE American enthusiasts? Its almost laughable.

counter-point - virtually every single industry in this country has been profitable on the backs of implicit or explicit tax subsidies and/or govt research funneled into the private sector. Tesla is doing nothing unusual or underhanded here.

Whatever he might be, Trump doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who can be bought off. Hillary, on the other hand....

Your calculations are spot on. This guy is doing something really really wrong if he can’t make it work on $80k! Mind you the average income in the us is $46k and median household income is $54k, both of which he is well over.

$80k gross a year is $6,666/month.
Roughly 25% in total state, local, and federal taxes is $1700/month
Put 15% ($1000/mo) in your 401(k)/Roth IRA and put 5% into liquid savings ($350/mo).

You can afford both a house and a $25k car on $80K. You just have to live where the housing is affordable. A decade ago, I bought a house and a new car while making $60k in Kansas. Two years later, I moved to Portland, OR @$75K and managed to buy a condo while keeping the car and still saving $1K per month into…

I make $80k/yr myself, and I’m nowhere near being close to being able to purchase a house, much less a new car. And, I’m six years older than my parents were in 1984.

Dont’t use “the economy isn’t in the best place right now excuse” the economy is basically as high as it’s ever been. 

Agree to disagree. I think we’ll look back on 2016 in the next 9-12 months and see the economy had basically ground to a halt.

$80k and nowhere near enough to buy a house? Sorry, dude, you aren’t doing it right. Maybe you need to move someplace where the cost of living is cheaper.

It all depends on where you live... Making $80k/yr would allow someone to buy a relatively nice house not on either coast.

There’s no way that kinda performance can’t be done sooner, and for a lot less money.

You have no idea how the internet works.

Stop being a little bitch

A recommendation for annoying busybodies to get laid is not rooted in sexism at all and is routinely applied to busybodies of all sexual persuasions.

Telling someone they need to get laid isn’t gender specific, as it applies to anyone with too much time on their hands that they use to be a pain in the ass instead of doing something productive. Truthfully, trying to curtail this speech only when directed at women is what would really be sexist / misogynistic in…

I know Jesus too. He drives an older Nissan pick-up truck, filled with lawnmowers, hedge clippers, and weedwhackers. Jesus mows and manicures my mum’s lawn once a month. Muchas gracias, Jesus.
