Was going to pull the trigger on a Malibu Premier 2.0 Turbo this year. The problem is they discontinued the 250hp, 2.0 turbo for 2023, leaving the lame 175hp 1.5 liter engine.  I should have bought the dealer demo last year when I had the chance.  It was amazing!

No data but casual observation: It seems that women who are anti-abortion and/or anti-contraception are post-menopausal.  

An orphan’s idea of an orphan.  ND.

The Army does absolutely nothing with regard to making anyone financially responsible. Enlisted and officers both MUST have the best car. Take your pick. I’ve seen NCOs driving Jags. Most will have BMWs and Benzes. Otherwise, it’s Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers. Intellectually, they are stunted. Someone who enlists…

Tesla has milked the “early adopter” market for all it’s worth.  Time to go mainstream.

If you think about it very deeply, you will notice that the similarities between the two industries are striking.

Watching this makes this old boomer want to check out sooner rather than later. I once had hopes for humanity. What a fool I am.

Polaroid, too.

I still categorize N/A beer with decaffeinated coffee: What’s the point?

A 100-mile snapshot is not the same as total cost of ownership.

The Lumina may have been an “awful” car, but there are several in my vicinity that refuse to die. Not bad for a 20–30-year-old car.

I was once a GMC loyalist but became a nomad when the GMC dealership closed down.  Now I buy from a nearby Chevrolet dealer.  The only difference between the two is the labeling.

Compared to my credit union’s 0.5% for their savings account, I can’t refuse.

TreasuryDirect.

They’re great with Horsey Sauce.

My brother bought a new ‘78 Trans Am. It was an absolute piece of shit from the get-go. It rattled like they hand tightened every nut, bolt, and screw on the damned thing. The shaker would rattle when the engine hit a certain RPM, and the dealer’s remedy for the leaking T-tops was to provide a towel. The orange-peeled…

Because American education is fucked. 54% of American adults have a literacy below 6th grade level. If you can’t read, how can you understand a TitleMax contract, let alone have a grasp of “that math stuff”?

I never realized that great amounts of money can be made off of the poor and desperate. I must have been out that day when they talked about it in my MBA program.

A lot of people are living desperate lives, whether of their own making or not.  Pure capitalism dictates that someone must profit from them.

Financial literacy? Functional illiteracy is the foundation of which financial illiteracy is built upon. There are far too many Americans who couldn’t read and comprehend a simple loan contract, let alone one that is weasel-worded like a TitleMax contract.
