Came here to make this comment. This is another big parallel to the PC world, where today what cooling system you’re going to use is one of the biggest choices you need to make when thinking about a custom PC build (liquid cooled, air cooled, how big, how many fans, how quiet or how high performance, etc. etc.)

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Actually, no. Back when I was in AP classes, that was definitely not a thing. Not that I claim to know exactly when the inflation started, but it is definitely a more recent occurrence.

Or something.

I totally saw the Eye of Sauron in there...

It’s smiling at us!

The headline says, “Model 3 Fighter”. (Not that I think that’s accurate, but that’s what the headline is claiming.)

Thanks! I am, 2008 350Z in dark blue (they only offered dark blue for a couple years, and didn’t sell a ton of them). So far it’s been a fun car and trouble-free.

Genius!

The way I did it was: I researched mechanics in the area around the car I was interested in online (Yelp, etc.) and found one that had realistic-sounding reviews (i.e. not just a few 5-star “Oh it’s the best shop ever!” reviews), called them up and explained my situation and arranged for them to perform a pre-purchase…

The reason to go with a CPO is not the quality of the dealer inspections (I’d still insist on a 3rd-party inspection before buying one). It’s the warranty.

That’s it! Just lay down a layer of Vaseline or Armour-All on the roadway that gets transferred to your tires as you drive over it. Then your tires have less friction later. Now how to replenish the Vaseline as it’s used up...

But they may need to stop...

Seconded. I live in Washington state, but a friend of mine hosted a barbecue at his house and had some Craig’s flown in specially for the event. It was worth it.

Now that’s insane!

The piece that you may be missing is that you also need to be a sociopath. That is the secret sauce.

Wow, this needs more stars. Bravo!

Either that or they’re joking... I hope they’re joking.

Which means maple syrup is... OH MY GOD
