The man used “inflation” as an excuse to just raise prices on everything

My firm works with a lot of different companies and the issue has been that last year price and wage increases happened so quickly they couldn’t get out ahead of them.  Most lost quite a bit of margin, which they are now trying to recapture.  Things seem to be planing out a bit but yeah a lot of businesses used…

You haven’t been looking at craigslist car prices recently if you expect to find a car that is even remotely safe to operate for 2k...

That color is amazing. I didn’t realize colors like that existed on giant malaise era vehicles.

Keep your car.

Came here to say precisely this. If you look at the median American driver, it is likely a 50 year old, married empty nester named Jennifer. She doesn’t need a Tahoe. Our middle aged Gen X salarywoman needs what salarymen drove in Japan throughout the 1980s. The personal coupe. You could get one that is luxurious,…

The decision to go with an LS came down, in large part, to electronics. The CANBUS systems on Mercedes engines are not super easy to get working to the degree that Icon requires. Even outfits like Mechatronik have to cobble together their systems and use all kinds of workarounds.

Would a Mercedes engine have been cool?…

I wanna know more about that 98,000 mile lease return!

I wonder if any of these still exist. Toronado are quite rare as is.

Stohlman VW, Tyson’s VA. They deserve the bump, though it’s been a few years. Mk7 Golf R. With buttons.

It was a long time ago but IIRC his rate was $0.26 per mile over the 36k - his best option was just to buy out the lease rather than pay $15k+ and not get to keep the car

CR-Zs are really great, and are very likely destined to go up in value. It’s a case of people raising their own expectations and being disappointed when they weren’t met. The CR-Z was only really intended to be a fun-to-drive commuter car. It wasn’t meant to be a sports car, nor was it meant to be a Prius competitor. 

OH man that lease return.. dude how much was it - what is it like 50 cents a mile over.. oh my sweet lord that had to be a rough one.

A pleasant, painless, honest, straightforward purchasing experience at a Kia dealership.

I had a 3-month car sales career but in those 3 months, man, the shit I saw.

An angry wife pulling a gun on the receptionist of the Volkswagen dealership I worked at. Her husband, one of the salesmen, was cheating on her with one of the receptionists. She showed up and pulled a gun on the one at the front desk. It was the wrong one. In the end nobody got hurt, but that was pretty tense.

This is a damn shame, the Maverick is the only reasonable pickup for sale in the country right now and you simply cant buy one.

This situation is Taylor Made for a lawsuit.

I read your post in my best Dukes of Hazzard  voice.

I assume you are referring to the Hole-In-One scam Trump ran where the fine print of the prize insurance stated a minimum distance of the hole (like 175 yards) and then he deliberately set the hole up at a shorter distance. Somebody made that 172 yard shot, but was denied the prize on a technicality. Went to court for…
