So here’s an odd one about seatbelts:

I’m not judging anyone’s character. I said I think it’s odd. Same way I think it’s odd to plaster bumper stickers all over a car or get a vanity plate. Same with watching videos on YouTube of people unboxing shit. I mean, come on. How is that not odd?

It’s a weird world out there on the world wide web.  I know people that watch other people playing video games on YouTube.  Me:  “Are you trying to get tips from these videos for games that you’re playing?”  Them: “No, just like watching.”  I mean, do whatever you want is my motto, but I find it fucking odd.

They could still play candy crush.

I’ve seen some dudes without shirts that should probably be arrested for that crime.  

This.  All of this.  NEVER say anything.

Yea, I worked with a guy one time (IT group) who would not put a dime in a bank.  He took his check and cashed it.  “How do I know if I have money?  If I have it in my pocket” is what he said.  To me, he had three heads.  I had so many questions like “how TF do you pay your bills, how do you maintain a budget or save…

Well, that’s good to hear. I have a rental through them next month because my company changed their policy on rental cars and I have to use their corporate account at Avis rather than renting a car myself and expensing it - I generally use Alamo and have never had an issue with them.

I mean, haven’t they always been that? I owned two Jettas over the years that I bought new - model years 95 and 2001. They weren’t exactly lighting the world on fire. They were small 4 door German sedans that competed with Honda and Toyota in the same price range/size.  But slightly more fun to drive.

That’s pretty cool.  

Came here for this, thank you.

Yikes.  Seriously?

FWIW, that’s a screen cap from a Beastie Boys music video.  :)

Take your star, dammit.  Now I have to think about that movie today.

I found several 2019 X5 CPOs for under 60K.  Without extending it, that gets you to 2024 under warranty.  I personally would not be concerned with the reliability of the new X5s and I have no idea what new Kias are like.  Just for general service, I’m fairly certain you would have a better experience at a BMW dealer. …
