If you are holding up traffic behind you then you are being the jerk. No matter how fast you go. This is the “everyone who wants to speed faster than me is an asshole” mentality. In some places you are probably also breaking the law by impeding traffic in the passing lane.

I do this too and if I must use fluid I use quick squirts. So many oblivious people, or intentional assholes do this though. Doesn’t really piss me off though. I find it funny when people do this as payback. Oh know I have to turn my wipers on. The horror.

I knew someone would say it

What are you considering upper middle class. I have seen in some cases up to 300k considered “middle class” and in other it usually tops our around 100k which seems more accurate to me.

Yeah but on these long term loans you are not getting 1.99% APR. You’re getting screwed. If you can do a 3 year loan then the financing is almost free on most new cars.

I have a CPO CTS. I paid half the original invoice and I think it’s 8 year 100k warranty on the powertrain. I had the water pump replaced because it had a the slightest leak that would cause low coolant after a couple months. I had a wheel hub go bad. I also keep having them look at a creaking noise in the front…

So make that limit $10k. You can get a 10k loan for less than $200 a month and get a car that will likely be problem free for the entire 4 year loan. Anyone trying to justify a 30k at 8 years is just crazy. Hell buy a Chevy Sonic or something if you MUST get something new.

CPO. They will get a car at sometimes half of original sticker price. With 20-30k miles (still new in my book) and a better warranty.

Yes but on an 8 year car loan you end up still paying for those repairs when the warranty runs out AND still paying on the loan AND being upside down in value. If these people can’t do some basic maintenance themselves then those brand new cars are going to become problems pretty quick.

To say the lenders don’t hold some responsibility is crazy. This is a problem on both sides. People buying things they cannot afford and banks approving loans that are likely to not be paid back.

“Longer-term loans help consumers keep monthly payments manageable, while allowing them to purchase the vehicles they need without having to break the bank,”

Yeah, I noticed this later in the article but was too lazy to change my comment. They better have fat person seats in THE american car.

From what I can find

Can you get regular seats in the GT? I’m too fat for Recaros to be comfortable in a DD.

Is it OK to be call yourself a Jalop if you have no interest in watching motorsports whatsoever? It’s kind of like golf to me. I think I’d enjoy doing it but I cannot watch it.

This. At the end of the day the brand of oil doesn’t matter much. So long as you change it (and no every 2,000 miles isn’t necessary).

Has anything ever actually been voted a nice price?

I give people enough time to get over. Even if they are passing very slowly I try to assume they will get over when they get past this next vehicle. Then I just pass them on the right instead because they never get over. I’m looking at you Ohio driver.

Isn’t that what the car pool lane is for in CA?

I call BS. $2,500 difference on a $70-120k car. That’s not swaying anyone. If they were concerned about costs they wouldn’t even be buying a $100k car.
