Yeah, it’s not like there’s a human in that vehicle.

That self-driving van is a lot safer than the moron in the SUV trying to text and drive at the same time. Unless your kid is playing in a snowstorm, I’d say your fears are overblown.

Ask  your doctor if molly is right for you.

Some servers do not get boundaries. Countless times I’ve been a a restaurant bar where its empty or close to it, with a book or an ereader, I just want to have dinner and read a book. But the bartender is bored and has probably seen me in there before so he or she thinks its fine to chat chat chat away endlessly. Ugh.…

Or park your Tesla blocking the bro truck in.
I had an idiot neighbor who let her boyfriend park is 7 series behind her car in our apartment building garage. Small garage, tight access, I couldn’t get my car to my parking spot.
First time, I left a polite note. Saw the guy a couple of days later and he screamed at me.
N…

You can pick up a 2010 Benz E550 coupe for around $15K. 382 hp, it’s on the C-class chassis so compared to the sedan it’s 250 lbs lighter, 2 inches shorter wheelbase, and sits an inch and a half lower. Swap out the grill for a single blade, people mistake mine for a new car all the time. In five years I’ve only had to…

Good luck finding one with less than 150K miles or that isn’t priced ridiculously high.

Had one, bought at 60K miles and sold it at 115K. Endless problems, mostly electrical. But also the a/c going out and an array of other things. Great car apart from that, but the cost per mile (didn’t wrench myself but used an indy shop) was ridiculous.

Only new car I bought, I was laid off halfway through a five year note. It was the dot com crash, I was in the Bay Area, so I was out of work for five months. That’s when you tap your savings. Paid off the car, had it for eight years.
Now four payments away from paying off the current car. Instead of saving up $35K in…

I live in south Florida, where the drivers range from insane to stupid. Which is why I need a car with so many airbags, in a crash that interior will look like a porn star convention.

Did a few years without a car when I lived in San Francisco. because the transit system was great, and the weather lets you use a motorcycle year-round. Now I'm in suburblandia, where google maps shows similar timed for traveling by county bus vs walking.

The “cars depreciate/don’t borrow to buy it” advice misses the obvious: cars can make you money. For most people, they need a car to get to work. And no, public transit is not a realistic option for most Americans.

I think you’re confusing politics with economics and finance. Bringing up the signs of an upcoming economic downturn isn’t politics, and all but one of the factors cited isn’t even influenced by politics.

Since its your mom we're talking about, more likely she'll marry a Peterbilt.

If you’re in the vehicle and have the keys, you’re in control. A friend was sitting alone in the passenger seat of a parked car, keys in the ignition to have the radio on, and got a DUI.

Doesn't the subsidy automatically expire and have to be periodically renewed?

The EV1 had no sticker price because it wasn’t for sale. It had a lease rate that in no way reflected the actual cost of production (around $100K each), nor a residual value since they weren’t ever going to be sold.

Find a low-mileage Saturn Astra. Two door hatchback, 30 mpg, Euro-tune suspension from Opel, and good looking. Reliable, cheap to fix.
