Ouch. My understanding is that the basic rule in infrastructure is that an estimate of the damage done to the road can be compared by raising different vehicles’ weights to the 4th power. So, a 164000 lb truck does 17.6 times as much damage as an 80,000 lb truck, which itself does 160,000 times as much damage as a…

So the target firm borrows money to help the acquirers complete the acquisition, and then also uses borrowed cash to pay dividends to the acquirers.

Charlie: At what range?

I like both rap and country, but the answer to this is rap, hands-down. Country has a lot of vague references to trucks but rap has the creativity.

Yeah, having owned an ‘02 S6 Avant, it was a cool freaking car, but also an expensive headache.

Is your ‘17 an I4 or V6? I know the I4 is weak but the current V6 has more “grunt” (if grunt is horsepower) than the 1st gen V8 had.

I hate to be the one to break it to you: You need a minivan.

I think Hockey is the only USA major spectator sport without this problem. Hockey is so far superior in person than on TV, although admittedly the difference has shrunk considerably with large screens and HD. Still, the advantage of seeing the entire rink and the sounds of passing and skating are awesome (in the…

The reliability problem was in the transmission, as with practically every 1990s Chrysler product. My Vision had its transmission replaced under warranty around 50,000 miles (right near the end of its warranty) before my ownership.

North Penn? They are the best dealer I’ve worked with. Bought a used BMW from them a while back, I was in and out in under an hour.

I had one of these, a ‘96 TSi. As far as mid-90s sedans go (yes that’s a huge disclaimer), it was a great car. Plenty powerful (if you don’t mind some torque steer) and decent handling, with lots of room.

All the time, but usually through a top MBA program. Getting in at a decent IB is all about networking.

Yes, 330i and E36 M3 are fairly comparable in straight line speed. 330i ZHP is even closer to the E36 M3; close enough that I could not tell which one is faster.

I was a freshman in high school and my friend, a senior, drove one of these T-Birds. With a 2-hour drive ahead of us, we jumped on the freeway. The T-Bird had a digital speedometer that capped out at 85. My friend was determined to keep it reading “85" the entire drive, and in fact he was quite successful! No idea how…

SAC is fine, too.

And let’s not forget how they ALWAYS sip their sponsor’s drink before and after their response. It’s so shameless it almost makes me uncomfortable.

I get that it’s a 911 and some people really want a 911. But for this price one could get a 987 S that would be far more modern and just as, if not more, fun and fast.

With Sling, we get the same national ads that ESPN shows on TV. There is blank space during the local ad slots, with just some elevator music and an ESPN logo. It hasn’t bothered me at all; actually, I prefer the blank spaces because it’s not filled with some annoying ad.

I’ve been pulled over 6 times in a row without a ticket (1 in MN, 2 in IN, 1 in PA, 1 in WI, 1 in GA), following this advice generally. Put the officer at ease and be respectful and it seems to improve your chances.
