Good point. I'm gonna run up some crazy credit card bills and then tell MasterCard "uh, that was yesterday" when they try to collect.

IHOP's customers are paying for free pancake day the other 364 days of the year.

Correlation <> Causality

It's not a good point. The federal government already does this through Pell grants. All it does is drive up the price of college because of all the "free" money that the federal government is giving away. In what universe do you guys live where increasing the demand for something drives down the price?

This isn't a tax rebate. It's social engineering that uses the tax code as a vehicle for redistributing wealth. They do it this way because it polls better and because it falls into the blurry grey area of which powers the federal government actually has.

I like how everyone refers to it as "free." Nothing is free. Ever.

I had to sit through the sales pitch for some insane extended warranty at the Ford dealership. I put my foot down when the guy started condescendingly trying to draw out a cost/benefit analysis that completely reversed the time-value of money. I had to explain to him that I was a CPA and he was retarded and can I…

The Explorer has one of the worst ratios of exterior dimensions to internal space that I've ever seen. I rented one for a week and HATED it. The driver's floorboard area is so tiny that I was getting leg cramps from my inability to stretch my legs inside the car, and I'm only 5'9". I felt like the entire interior of…

Unless one of the individuals who donated money chipped in an amount exceeding the $14,000 gift tax exclusion limit, he won't owe any taxes on the GoFundMe money. Even then, he'd only owe taxes on the amount over $14k received from that one person.

They're all right-hand drive, too. I want one so bad.

It's not just you. When you double the number of rotor blades you can significantly cut down the length to achieve the same amount of lift. It also means the rotors spin slower and make less noise.

I remember when I was in high school (early 2000s), all of the Kia and Hyundai ads were like "BAD CREDIT? NO CREDIT? COME ON DOWN AND GET YOURSELF A KIA! DO YOU HAVE A JOB AND 300 DOLLARS? YOU'RE APPROVED!" It meant that if you drove a Kia or Hyundai, everyone assumed you had shitty credit. I haven't heard those ads…

lmbo this is incredible

I'd try explaining to her this way: "That money is gone forever. If you sell it now with all of these new parts installed, you can get quite a bit more money for it than if you wait for the next $2k repair." Then tell her to get herself a nice Hyundai Genesis or similar old lady car that isn't made in Germany and…

I test drove one of these and it definitely seemed to have more power than advertised.

The cop is not the one who swerves.

Except the part where they came to a near stop on the interstate at night and you can see a car behind them has to leave the road to keep from getting rear-ended.

The increase has been across the board thanks to continued low interest rates and longer loan terms. People can afford a lot more car at 0.9% APR over 78 months than they ever could at 6.8% over 48.

Dingell said she understood the reluctance of both political parties to embrace a higher gas tax, even though an increase is backed by business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Trucking Associations. “Everybody’s chicken,” Dingell said. “Nobody wants to increase taxes on the middle class. The…

I think it's just a matter of building more of them and getting them out to the dealer. These trucks practically sell themselves if you can get someone to sit inside of it and see how much more practical it is for the casual truck buyer than a Silverado.
