No dice. Not even if you knock a zero off the end. If the current owner won’t spend the money to “keep it out of the crusher”, then why would anyone spend FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, plus all the money to fix it, to do that?

Oh, I agree completely; you have to want THIS one. If you do, then this is the right price, IMO. I also agree with you that these are just so beautiful. Unfortunately for me, the world is full of cars I can afford to buy, but not own!

Nice price, but it also raises one of the quirks involved in buying a car like this: if you can afford to own it (not buy it; I can afford to buy it, but not own it), you can also afford to buy a newer, nicer one. So, you would actually have to want THIS Ferrari, not just any Ferrari.

Nissan Rogue. 

Two in a row where it is exactly the right price. NP. 

Not much to say; that’s the right number.

The rate reflects the risk to the lender. And as we can see, that rate probably wasn’t high enough to justify the risk. 

I really want to like this. AC was available as a dealer add during the ‘80s. But this car needs a stick to be fun. No stick, no breeze? No dice. Sorry, it’s a nice car. 

This is worth nothing. I mean, it’s obviously worth SOMETHING. But for all practical purposes it is worth nothing. 

The C4 is irrationally my favorite Corvette, flaws and all. But if I were to get one, I’d spend more money to get a nicer one, fully understanding there may be issues eventually but at least not at the start. Pass. ND.

Okay, I took one for the team and made this. It tastes good, but what a pain in the ass. I could have had either a pizza or spaghetti on the table in a third the time, with abou a third of the mess. I did it with an Alfredo sauce, mushrooms, spinach, and fresh mozzarella on top, which wasn’t an issue.

As much as the issues concern me, if the pilot gets on the plane, then I’m okay with it. The pilot knows a hell of a lot more than I do, after all. 

Nice car, ugly decals, too much money. 

20-30 years ago I preferred Boeing to Airbus, and was happy to get one while planning a flight. Now I actively search against Boeing, and only take one when I have to. (Got one upcoming next month, in fact. I’m not expecting problems, but I’m not happy about it, either.)

Make almost anything for dinner. The next day, make a pot of ramen noodles and add the leftovers. It works for almost anything. 

Too late (I’m an old guy now) I learned about estate sales. Not garage sales or yard sales; folks still think their stuff is worth more than I want to pay. But estate sales are where you’ll find $400 All Clad pots for $15. Where you’ll find a complete set of Cuisinart pots and pans (the good stuff, not the Target…

This is a very informative primer. May I add a slide? Rooibos, a South African bush tea, is delightful. And it will qualify for many who haven’t tried it as a new flavor, pleasant and not really like anything else.

One other choice: for bbq and outdoor cooking, you can get very large, heavy cardboard cutting boards that have fold-up edges. They come in handy especially for things like ribs and briskets, that don’t fit on many small boards. 

Wright’s bacon at Sam’s Club. 4lbs/$15.99, and it’s the best commodity bacon out there. 

Yep. I saw the picture before I read any of it and thought, “What the hell would I do with THAT?” And it turns out I would do the same things that I do with stuff I already have.
