Sailed when parked.

He did twenty years being the top guy in Latin American finance? Plus his house was in Miami.

This is a pretty good workaround actually. Get the loan of your choice if needed (and if you don’t actually want to pay cash), take out a dealer loan, pay it off immediately. Dealers suck.

they love talking about using their guns to fight a tyrannical government and now when ukrainians are doing just that theyre fucking cheering for the tyrannical government. 

Is this a joke? Every time the Democrats try anything to improve the country, like say health care reform or an infrastructure bill, or nominate a supreme court justice it is obstructed to death by Republicans.

Exactly. In theory I’m a moderate independent, in practice I’m “vote blue no matter who” because I’m terrified of what Republicans are prepared to do to our democracy.

Let’s be honest, the gas companies are digging all of our graves.

This is America where we learned slacktivism. The only hurt they are willing to accept is putting a Ukraine flag on their social media profile.

For a second, I took this as a fire under my ass to buy an electric car. I have a newer car that I can make some money on in the trade, I’ve already got a 100 amp 240 outlet in the garage, I could use the rebate to offset next year’s tax bill—overall an electric car is starting to make more sense.

Russian oil makes up <3% of our annual supply. It wont effect us nearly as much as Europe. Also worth mentioning, this decision was met with bipartisan support.

That is the overwhelming sentiment, but people aren’t rational and Republicans will still blame Biden/Democrats for the high prices. 

The seller’s wife rejecting the Jeep tells me all I need to know. She wants something that will actually work every day, unlike this vehicle that doesn’t even fully work now. No dice. 

My guess is they were trying to keep up with the emissions regulations of the time and the ECUs just weren’t there yet. I had an ‘87 Lotus Turboesprit with K-jet. It was quite a lashup. So many relays and wires but it did have computer of sorts that ran closed loop with the O2 sensor.

Yeah, while I’m very much in the market for this kind of solution, its methods end up being jack of no trades, unfortunately. The inability to use the bike independently of the boat/trailer is the final deal-breaker for me. Sometimes you want to leave home base behind, and go shred a trail on just two wheels; this…

It’s more toy than practical, and it costs too much for a toy.

Solution to a problem only 1 person had. Glad he likes it.

I like these in a “hey, here’s an idea I don’t think anyone has tried”/”function follows form” sort of way.  

My favorite headlights of the 80s.
