I got lucky in this car buying situation. I got a new Kia Stinger GT2 last March for 10k off. There were only two people in the dealership when I went and I walked in and a few hours later, drove off in my new car.

It’s no Lancia Delta, but I did find this rotting away in a parking garage.

I can’t believe that this article showed up today. Because on my drive home I saw a brand new black RDX with gold badging. I didn’t even know you could do that anymore! Just seeing that brought me back to the 90s with its sea of cheap gold badging!

I feel the same way! In the 90s I hated the Harlequin.  Now I regret not buying one new when there were two languishing on the lot of my local dealer.

The gatekeeping is still here, and it makes getting care extremely difficult. In my case. About four years ago my company changed the insurance policy to cover genital surgery. But, in order to get the surgery I needed two letters, from a psychiatrist and another mental health practitioner.

Protecting newspapers is exactly what Spain tried to do (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/new-study-shows-spains-google-tax-has-been-a-disaster-for-publishers/). After the link tax law got passed, Google News pulled out of Spain, and publishers suffered massively. 

Unless people are parking the Car2Go cars on the sidewalks, middle of roads or in lakes it’s not really a comparison. For the most part those cars are left legally parked on the streets. An equivalent would be the docked ride share bikes that need to be returned to specific places. When I lived in Seattle, those bikes…

So they name it California, and yet they don’t sell it there. Interesting marketing they have at VW.

Because of the storm I got to see an awesome double rainbow. My dash cam got a great view .

I stopped playing, not because of losing, but because of the ten minutes of banter before every game. I would have kept playing if they cut the excessive chatter and just stuck to the questions with some jokes and such thrown in.

I totally missed this the first time around. But the Powerpuff Girls livery is totally the best.

RC cars look like they are so much fun. Does anyone have any tips on getting into the hobby?

It’s certainly the most expensive car I’ve seen street parked. Not sure about the cool part though.

A similar thing happened to me. I was turning into a spot and saw an suv pulling out right into me, so I stopped and honked. She kept pulling back out and I laid on the horn. Still didn’t stop and she crushed my driver’s side door. Then after all that she was going to leave before the cops came. I told her if she left…

I really hate to plug anything, but I have done a lot of work with creating passwords. I wrote iOS and macOS apps for generating all types of passwords, such as random and passphrase. Take a look at https://password-factory.com .

And all this talk of S2000s make me truly regret not getting one when they were new. Stupid me and trying to be practical and not getting two seater.

They still have Whatchamacallit bars in New York. I actually had one a few weeks ago.

Here is another conspiracy. I have never seen such a big company admit guilt and start to give money out so quickly. This story came out last week and already they said they giving money to dealers. Usually this sort of action takes months or years.

I once did something similar, except it wasn’t on the dirt, it was on a suburban street. My mom was throwing out a couch and my sister and I somehow decided it would be great fun to tie it to my mom’s explorer and drag it around the neighborhood.
