Honestly we don’t even need ac to the extent we claim. People just don’t like to adapt to the weather.

That’s not even where the issue of aircon comes from. The biggest issues with it go beyond energy use, but let’s assume that energy use is a driving factor. The energy loss of getting that power to your from a coal factory, let’s also call a non issue. Now, how many people are running their ac for 8 to 14 hrs a day vs…
Let’s also consider the American tendency for giant, powerful lawn equipment that obviously has no filtration, or our overuse of air conditioning. Even if they made 100,000 Ferrari 812 and they were driven 20k miles per year, it wouldn’t be nearly the impact of all Americans just lowering their aircon temp during…
I don’t have a problem with the 950$ entry fee. Even standing race tracks that don’t have a surface which needs continuous rebuild/maintenance run 500$+ for a weekend.
I gave this a solid thumbs up, and then when I saw how the rest of you voted, and your comments, I became disappointed in all of you.
What, they couldn't add 22hp to make it an even 812? Maybe that's what it'll take to make it a super-limited-extra-last of its kind-special edition, with an extra special 812k price to match?
It’s honestly very hard to compare state to state. I make 180 household, save plenty, the sum of our cars was 53k (one will be paid off in 14 mo and the other in 46), and our house was 280k. The problem is when the county decides to raise property taxes by 33%, insurance retaliates after seeing the “home value” jump,…
I think you mean suburb dwellers :). When we were in the city, life was easy and we always had plenty of time. Feel like going out to a jazz bar on a Tuesday, why not? Blues bar on Wednesday? Sure! We still managed to find time to cook, workout, etc. Now in the burbs it’s all planning.
There's a reason the bay area homeless cities are a problem...
With the cost of daycare in my area being 1400 to 1600/mo, I fully understand why so many become stay at home parents... With 3 kids you'd need to make 81k a year to just support that...
You’re in Florida, so you have no state tax, and your housing is much cheaper. My sister lives in Jacksonville, makes 180k and can easily afford a 600k home on the beach down there. Life is different in the retiree state, lol. You can’t pay me enough to live in that humidity again though.
Because driving an hour to get to anything wastes gas, money, and time. All three are precious and limited commodities. When I lived downtown we could walk to anything, even the grocery, and we did all the time. When we moved 20 mins away into the burbs we do far fewer things now, rarely leave the house, and manage to…
What in the world is even middle class in America anymore? I feel like to have a comfortable middle class life and not live in the boonies, you need to be making 200k+ household... And to truly afford a 50k car, you need to be making 200k. Your house shouldn’t be more than 3 times your yearly income and your cars…
This explains why they could never meet stricter emissions regulations, and also explains the clouds of normal blue smoke.
My friend in college had a very pretty blue one in 2010, that was the top trim level. I noticed him topping off oil one day and after he revved it a few times there were massive clouds of blue smoke. I asked him if that was normal and he said the car burned about 1L of oil per 1500 miles. It sounded crazy to me, but…
Better than a near useless 0 to 60 metric. At least 0-100-0 takes into account power and braking potential, beyond just who has awd or the right drag setup. Needless to say, that number is stupid impressive. The McLaren did it in a city block, too, so I wonder the distance the mustang had to cover?
Sob, came in here to post that! Star for you good sir.
Are these the same boomers that buy the cars, realize in their old age that the cars now make a ton of horsepower for their weight, that their reaction rate isn’t what it used to be, that they are not plush like a truck, and then proceed to devalue the car by selling it for tens of thousands off within two years of…
In addition to the below, audi and merc offer wagons as well. The e wagon is the god of wagons and the a4 allroad or whatever it’s called is the rich man’s golf alltrack
A 255/35 has more sidewall than a 195/40, regardless of rim size. That’s basically the same sidewall as a 225/40 or a 195/45.
