I am an old, I remember when starters were a once a year to once every two year repairs on 60s-70s American cars.

I got stuck in a cave in my late teens while spelunking. Crawling through a hole my ass couldn't get through. Fortunately, there was someone behind me that was able to pull me back to safety. Not a fun experience.

I remember seeing all those poor peaceful protesters being thrown into the capital building against their will...

So true. Mrs. Ballz and I are childless by choice, but we love that our property taxes go, in part, to schools. 1. It’s not a child’s responsibility to provide for themselves, and 2. good schools = good communities = good for everyone.

Hell - based on the ranges people are getting, their half-cooked release isn’t even good at the very thing Tesla is expected to…

Isn’t this why escrow companies exist for these type of sales?

VW: We screwed up all the things people liked about the GTI (knobs, dials, buttons, clutch pedal, reasonable price, non-stupid looking fog lights...like my MKVII).

Just wait until you guys hear about a film called Kids...

Nobody seems to like the alternative: We need more services for the elderly. Old people drive because they want to and HAVE to. Most places in American have zero alternatives. And all of their children cannot just stop life and drive them everywhere all day. My mother is 79 and I’m trying to figure out how to move her…
