Shrug. I’m paying around $4 a gallon for premium now but I just sold my SUV and pulled my motorcycle out of storage. I had forgotten how much fun it is to ride and 47 mpg to boot without having to baby it.

My guess is race had little to do with the firing. They just didn’t like you dude and probably started giving you negative reviews so they could fire you for cause. Just move on, it’s a sinking ship anyways.

I love Canadians, so nice and polite.

Is that in U.S. dollars or loonies? On this side of the border we don’t bother with toilet paper, we just use Canadian tender.

The saber rattling against Iran isn’t helping and OPEC has been successfully cutting supply. Add speculators piling into oil futures and you’ve got the perfect storm. Wouldn’t be surprised to see $5 premium in California this summer but probably not sustainable. It’ll all come crashing back down as the economy slows…

The 17 seconds or more offense wasn’t working for D’Antoni. Have to play fast, shoot 50 threes and hope at least half of them go in. That will allow Houston to steal a game, maybe two and lose in six.

This guy probably amassed his collection over time and before you know it, 57 bikes! Problem is material possessions can be an anchor, a weight around your neck that prevents you from freely moving around and enjoying the other things in life. Live simply and you’ll be happier. He (and let’s face it, it’s a man,…

Hmm, I just did a quick back of the envelope and assuming a 5% borrowing rate, the $25k monthlies plus the $700k down would total just over $2 million in present value. So as long as the car is worth at least $500k at the end of the lease it’s a money winner for the lease company. And I’m sure they will force you to…

Now was that really necessary? Six grown men with sharp metal instruments stabbing and hacking away seems a bit excessive. Hold the snake down with a blunt instrument and pop the bucket on top. You’d think Texans would have more practice with this kind of thing.

You probably don’t quite understand the bubble economy. There’s a shitload of cash floating around out there, people have bid up the value of tech startups in Seattle and elsewhere to the point where 30 year old nobodies who have not shown a single cent of profit are gazillionaires. And how is this any different…

I feel sorry for Dwane Casey. Casey did a hell of a job with an imperfect roster and the Raptors have had more regular season success than they ever could have expected or hoped for. But they keep running into that buzz saw in the east who by the way has been cutting every eastern team to pieces since 2011.

You make some good points. Sixers are a talented but deeply flawed team and adding LeBron or Kawhi doesn’t really solve anything. But it’s unclear what your path forward is. Trade Simmons, Embiid for who? You’re probably not going to get equal value back, the best you could hope for is a bunch of draft picks and 5…

Yeah really anything but this works for me:

Go drive a 110 hp first generation Nissan Leaf. Or a 111 hp Fiat 500e. Better yet try a 89 hp Renault Zoe. Yeah not all electric cars are fast. And you could detune any Tesla with a flick of the switch. Wouldn’t take much to install an electronic limiter which would cap horsepower when handing the keys over to…

Look at it this way, if the Dubs didn’t exist then you’d just have LeBron strutting around bragging about his 8 straight championships and how much better he is than Michael Jordan. Now that would be something to get sick about.

“this classy Audi comes with 168K on the clock and the assurance by its seller that it is 100% reliable.”

“The agency doesn’t expect that Tesla’s semi-autonomous Auto-Pilot driving system will be a part of the investigation.”

Oh man Rovell, never try and show up a Cal Berkeley grad. You just got owned!

My plain old run of the mill 2017 Civic is still worth almost what I paid over a year ago.

It’s probably why they never sent us their best cars until now, people not wanting to pay $35k for a Civic. The $55k? Blame it on the dealers, government taxes and people who think it’s worth it and are willing to pay that much.
