Buick Roadmaster Estate with an engine swap. Checks all the boxes, a wagon, speed, looks at the car shows, and plenty of bonding time switching engines.

Probably the first one I ever read. Actually the first time I heard it was when Howard Stern read it on his site.

I walked around to fight him but a co-worker got between us so I spit in his face. I’m fine with the outcome. A punch to the face hurts but it heals over time. Having someone spit in your face and walking away stings much longer. 

My rule of thumb was to treat people like they treated me. People see others with menial jobs and think they are better. I was only a server for a month, so I don’t have any memorable stories with that. I was a cashier at a convenience store for over two years and came across all kinds of rude behavior there. I was…

Little secret, open houses have nothing to do with selling the house and everything to do with bringing in new clients for the realtor. Like you said, open houses are for people that are just kicking tires and not quite serious about buying yet. Not to mention that any serious buyer probably has a realtor already and…

You could have just stopped at don’t buy a condo. In my limited experience they are closer to a timeshare than a house. The values don’t appreciate, they are hard to sell due to the saturation of similar properties on the market, and too much of your expenses are out of your control. Like you said, the special…

My credit union not only offers 0% down mortgages with no PMI, but they also don't fee you to death. 

I feel like the numbers for this comparison are a little incomplete. Yes you may be able to get a slightly higher return by investing, but what about the taxes you are going to have to pay? Will that be offset by the interest deduction? What about the risk? 30 years is a long time, so you will probably make out over…

Points must be deducted for not using an orange Esprit in the pic.

Just to be clear, your advice is the home shouldn't cost more that 1 year's combined salary after the 20% down? I'm not questioning your fiscal responsibility, but I don't think this rule applies to all parts of the country. Especially if you don't want to live in the midst dangerous part of town. 

My wife and I just closed on a house two weeks ago so I have been enjoying these home purchase articles that have been getting posted over the last week or so. It doesn’t change our circumstances any, but it does let me compare what we actually did to what the article proposes. In terms of the true cost, the little…

I’d argue that she isn’t blind to this fact but relies on it. She likes the control that comes with being the dominant female role in their lives and can’t handle the competition. It wasn’t mentioned in the letter but I would like to know if any of these guys have relationships with women outside the group and what…

This all reminds me of the Chris Rock dick in a glass case joke.

If that’s the attitude then you might just get your wish. Don’t be shocked when the flirty couple decides to cut down on the time spent on your time to save you the hassle.

I came here to mention the Aurora. It stood out in a good way to me. I lived next door to an Olds and Mitsubishi dealership in the late 90s so I have a soft spot for the Aurora, Montero, Bravada and 3000 GT. Not so much the Eclipse, fuck that car.

Servers don’t want a minimum wage. As it is now servers in theory get a raise everytime prices increase. They also get to skirt taxes, though not as much when everything was cash. If they got paid a minimum wage then they would probably be locked in to that same low wage until the day they quit, while handing more of…

To be fair Hinkie doesn’t really have a great track record with the draft either. He has made good trades, but take a look at who he picked.

What if no formal vote was taken on purpose. This way no owner is on the hook should the voting results get out. That way every owner gets to say they would have voted no, they get to use Goodell as a shield, and get the rule they were looking for. And if there is enough backlash they change the rule and look like…

The kid is basically a scratch during practice because he can’t get enough rest. That’s more than just a generational issue between the player and management. It’s a lack of commitment. And yes that can be a problem that doesn’t show at first but eventually becomes a problem. It’s easier to get by on natural talent in…

Reminds me of the Mr X story in Bob Zmuda’s book about Andy Kaufman.
