The worse tag is the PA train heritage tag. I had one a long time ago, it was impossible to read, as the letters wore down fast, and blended with the rest of the tag. It was great for the speed cameras in Washington, DC.

This one, mainly because you should never have a web address on a license plate:

2015 Subaru Outback - there’s a 7" or so touchscreen that does nothing, really (since the “apps” are all worthless, so we never did anything after trying them out).

There are answers to every one of your questions if you had bothered to actually read a couple of books instead of coming here thinking that your questions are smart. Here are the answers to all of your questions one by one.

Early 2000s still equals 18+ year old vehicle where the same issues still apply you muppet.

I take the longest term loan (at a reasonable rate), and pay the 3 yr payment. If a cash flow issue arises, I have the option to fall back to the lower payment.

Look for DeSantis’ new “Don’t Say Hurricane” bill coming soon!

I’m pretty sure the author of this post has zero idea what the actual car market is like right now (or anything else having to do with personal finance really) because this is one of the best times to buy new over used if you can get a new car without getting screwed by the dealer. It makes no sense to buy used to…

In response to the traffic data, a Reddit spokesperson said “we don’t comment on inaccurate data from third parties.”

Because threatening their community is a great way to show that Reddit respects and appreciates its user base...

That leadership group at the top is making every decision to alienate their biggest users and that is going to ultimately kill the platform. There are news aggregators like Artifact that are starting to…
