In my opinion, it’s a tortuous (and probably doomed) argument. Sure, Apple has 100% say on what apps appear on their devices, but Apple devices have plenty of competition from Samsung and others - if you want a smartphone you don’t have to buy an iPhone.

First off, you need to sort this goodbuy/bye shit - it’s too confusing and just doesn’t work. It’s also not really very jalopniky...

$12k for a 20 year old car? I actually swithered, but it was the window stickers that did it for me.

Cry me a river. What the hell is a “city complaint line”?

You win!

It looks in really good condition underneath, which is a) a plus a and b) hopefully an indication that the owner looked after it.

And yet, you’re comfortable telling me what I should live with. I don’t think for a moment that everyone is going to agree on every point so I’m comfortable that I would not want to live next door to a junkyard even if you’re ok with it.

Well, I’m a car fan - I’m not on this site by accident.

Wow - dunno how many friends I’ll win over with this thought, but if I were your neighbor, I’d have reported you to the city too.

Well, I’d bought it with a BMW extended warranty, which was a godsend. Expected to keep it 3 years but eventually kept it six.

Nice car, but overpriced and a money pit so CP.

Naw. Just naw.

Seems like you beat Jason by 35 minutes on writing effectively the same story.

Who does this remind you of... “ I think it will happen very quickly”?

Maybe saddest of all are the YouTubers’ bedrooms ... because of how tiny and barren they look.

“Apple Music” - whaddat?

How is it possible, even in 2001, to make a 5.9l engine that only produces 235hp? Pretty sure I could make one out of wood that would make more power than that.

Got it now - thanks!
