Kudos to that cop who followed procedure and basically busted his boss. I’m sure he’ll get skewered by other, shittier cops for it.

1. This is absurd this is possible. Tesla’s app coding must be absolute garbage.

The problem is we all have too much crap we think we need and we want it with us all the time.

Loans aren’t evil. They are financial tools that allow people and businesses to get ahead in the world.

Meanwhile, my parents took an annual trip to see the grandparents with two kids, in a 2 door Buick Skyhawk. Yep, we had a J car, with the slightly better but still horrible 2.0l. One year we had no heat, and drove through snow and ice in that little 2 door Skyhawk. My grandmother was pissed, and paid to have the heat…

I didn’t make the comparison to sticker price of the car, just payments and total costs, which do include the interest.

No they weren’t. 

Makes sense to me. Most adults I know have been in 1 or zero accidents in their lifetime.

This was brought up on an episode of The Smoking Tire a month or so ago. Whatever the exact numbers are (don’t have them because verbal medium but I’m sure they’re out there), FSD was getting in to accidents at a rate that equated to a person getting into 3 accidents a year when driving to and from work every day for…

This is a really misleading and in some places just wrong comment. A non-refundable tax credit has nothing to do with the amount of withholding that has already occurred at the time of filing. It is only based on the total tax obligation for a given year, regardless of the amount of withholding that has occurred.

It is not, unless there’s an update somewhere, and you can’t carry it forward like you can with solar.

If bigger is better for survivability and safety, then why not drive a semi and be one of the big boys on the road? Or a Bradley Fighting Vehicle?
Legend has it a guy in Vancouver BC ran a surplus WW-2 armored scout-car as his daily driver (late 1950's or early 1960's). The province finally revoked the registration…

If you only need a huge SUV to protect you from other huge SUVs, then buying an even huger SUV is just an arms race, not actual safety.

We have space, long distances between towns, big roads, weather extremes, and big parking spaces in the vast majority of the U.S. that just don’t compute from an E.U. perspective

Counterpoint, this is actually very good and more companies should implement it. In my opinion, it is well worth the annoyance of a few people who complain that their passenger can’t work the touch screen to prevent drivers from doing it on their own. Especially now as screens continue to take over our entire…

I think the problem is a combo of factors:

yep... really GOOD used cars were like 10 grand. I am talking fully loaded midsized sedans or econo cars.. Hell my first used car was less than 5k and only had 20k miles on it (97 Saturn SL2)

Dude get over it... those cars were nearly a decade old... WHEN THE C4C PROGRAM EXISTED.

I believe a lot of this can still be attributed to Cash for Clunkers.

Idk, it’s one of those things that old people love saying back in my day ‘I had a house and a sports car by the time I was 25'...Yea well considering the dollar was actually worth about 5$ and you could work, move up, and retire organically within 1 company instead of having to jump around 3 different times just to…
