We know it’s not a Harrier.

Actually the one talked about in this article was converted to RWD so it could drift more easily for the stunts.  

Add a zero, put it on craigslist.

Everyone pays too much money for a used Subaru.

Man - would I ever. And keep all the knowledge I have now? So many mistakes I could avoid. And set reminder to buy as much Apple and Amazon stock as humanly possible.

Prawnhub? All shrimp action all the time.

Sure, lets all buy Apple and Google stock while we are there.

True... But we could go watch Saving Private Ryan in a theater, power down our iMac or Windows 98 machine and crank up the Chumbawumba in our Ford Taurus 

If only we could collectively roll back to January 1, 1998.

Seriously, I hate to ask what is a bit of a cliche, but did you read the article AT ALL? I mean they literally talk about how the rates have doubled but the mechanics pay has gone up by about 2 dollars an hour. Yeah those mechanics sure are crooked! Good thing theres you to stand up for those wonderful car…

As the article alludes to, the ridiculous hourly rate isn’t going to the mechanics. The dealership is pocketing the majority of it, and when they raise the rate from $95 to that $125, only ~$3 is going to the mechanic. The other 90% is going to the dealer’s profit.

Didn’t have time to read the whole article, but my input thus far is flat rate is a cancer in my industry. It encourages spite and cut-throat competition amongst the techs and writers to the point where a “green” tech won’t ask questions if they aren’t sure of something because they don’t wanna be taking food off of…

Exactly. How many people would be willing to start new businesses if they didn’t have to worry about keeping their health insurance or paying for new employees’ insurance? How much more fluid could the job market be if people weren’t terrified of losing coverage?

Bangle-assed 5-series here. You’re thinking of the 6- or 7-series, they were the Bangleiest. The 5-series has aged pretty well.

Don’t take this as an attack, I’m genuinely curious.

I read that as “cavalier” I was like.. wut? how is that like a shitty Chevy?

I’d liken an Entry-Level Ferrari to a cheap caviar, its not really cheap its cheap for what it is. Either that or you’re buying a fake.

It’s a whole lot harder to stop or change the course of a tanker or freighter than a destroyer, so the logic is the same.

Obviously not. The point is you’d think they’d be better at detecting and avoiding these kinds of things.
