I’m surprised nobody’s written about what else it looks like...

I kinda think I could get four grand off by saying “hey, I’ll buy at four grand less.”

Back in the day, I was a (junior) Taco Bell executive. Because we were in the same employee pool as people making minimum wage in restaurants, I was classified as a “highly compensated employeee”, and so I didn’t get matching on my 401k, even though I made less than many of my peers in other industries.

You’re right. Yes gear is expensive. But it can save your life.

The NSX is worth every bit of $160K MSRP for what Honda is bringing to the table, but because Honda overhyped the shit out of it for the last ten years, they’ve essentially shot themselves in the foot in the process, “under delivering” on the hype, even if the car is outstanding compared to competition and similarly…
