This is an excellent choice.

There’s always the Jaguar F-Type. I saw a 2015 year model (supercharged V6, RWD) for sale in the DC area right around your budget. I know someone who has one and loves it as his daily driver as well as his fun car.

The game is most likely kickbacks from the tow company.

I can’t help but wonder if maybe the real game here is to put pressure on this guy to move out.

Broken window theory. He’s just one step from selling crack and turning tricks, then there goes the neighborhood.

I’d LOVE to take a walk around all of their properties to see if there are any cosmetic imperfections...anywhere. Because I could nit pick a 3 mile list for them and compare them to that dent.

Maybe get a buddy to rub up against their fender in the middle of the night; not a ton of damage, just a nice scrape would do.

Start with the property manager’s car.

Being petty as fuck...

Its a thing now for complexes and neighborhoods (aka bitch ass HOA’s) to have stupid shit in their rules. From trash cans not being out so far to stuff like this. On one hand I get it. Who wants to drive through and see cars sitting on bricks, spiderwebs under them etc. A lot of people use car ports in complexes as…

Read the paperwork bro, you gave Mark Zuckerberg the right of prima nocta to all your children.

It’s on a piece of paper that means its the right thing.

I’m not taking Brooner’s side, but I fail to see how a twenty-odd year old sexual assault conviction is relevant to this matter...

Good. Calling the police on a person is exactly like pointing a loaded gun at that person.

It's nice to know if a phone is built well and sturdy. I personal bought my Nokia after watching his video (then more research). The manufacture is cutting corners and charging more. This should be noted. 

But technology writers constantly tell us we want thin, with no bezel. And we want thinness instead of a larger battery. Or, have I missed something here?

I wish the tech industry in general would realize that it’s not always better to make devices thinner.

I bought a used car recently and the dealership told me that the internet pretty much forces them to advertise the lowest price they’ll take, otherwise, they don’t even get calls. That’s why they rarely negotiate prices anymore.

Honest question. How much time did it take to go to four different dealerships and haggle that long? How much did you save? I’d rather spend the extra grand or two instead of burying hours of my time into negotiations 

The key part of your sentence is “....in 2009" a lot has changed in the used car space since then when it comes to market-based pricing.

It seems, in general, van’s like the Sienna/Odyssey/(surprisingly)Ford Transit Connect are much harder to negotiate down.  If at all.
