russian spies and hackers is why.

Wow. California infraction rate isn’t that bad. Of course the base rate is absurd....

Unless Evernote makes more changes to its privacy policy, they can still read your notes if they suspect you’re violating the Terms of Service, for troubleshooting, or to comply with legal warrants. If you’re worried about the privacy of your notes, you should encrypt them right now. Or you can always jump ship and…

This list has limited value. Just because people don’t keep a car model for 10+ years doesn’t mean it isn’t reliable.

Extreme example, Porsche has very high satisfaction among owners and are generally known to be very reliable, but people that buy a Porsche can usually afford to buy a new one every few years, certainly…

In state? That is expensive. It isn’t that bad in California yet and I thought CA in state schools were expensive. You can go out of state to schools in some states cheaper than that!

That said, earning $15-20K isn’t out of the realm of possibility, yet so many just put the whole thing on loan without even trying,…

I do not think people appreciate this enough. College is valuable, but it should not be the defacto decision.

You should pay cash for college. Going to an in-state school isn’t that expensive, compared to out of state, or private schools. If you get a job making min wage and work 20hrs a week during school and 40 during summer, you can pretty much cash flow it.

That said, a college degree will also return dividends in that,…

Yup. So a wreck has to be mild enough to be drivable. Your call. Odds are, you won’t have an issue. But you still have car insurance, right? And would even if your state didn’t require it?

I kinda look at this as insurance. I’m getting rid of it eventually (CA likely won’t allow registrations past 2018 unless VW gets…

Yes, because arresting someone that is assaulting someone else makes you a stormtrooper.

Very nice. Hopefully this will get baked into iOS 11 going forward.

I deleted my account last month. What a train wreck....

This all happened under Marissa Meyer’s watch. Why is she still there?

Maybe. But out of 500,000 cars getting recalled, some are bound to be in an accident in the next few weeks.

In fact, my wife got rear ended tonight in her TDI recall jetta. Thankfully, the idiot on the phone saw her in time sitting at a red light to slam on the brakes and it was just superficial damage to the rear…

Seriously? Can she not just be put in handcuffs for assaulting an officer?

Of course, it certainly isn’t as structured, in that there is no syllabus, but just listening to the Dave Ramsey show will keep most people out of trouble if they just do 25% of it. And easy to listen to in the car radio or podcast.

What was that last 2 seconds of the video? A shot of him crapping his pants?

Well, I just purchased a 2002 996 Carrera 2, so hoping the figures are somewhat inline. I did notice that replacing the Boxter IMS bearing is much more expensive than one on the 911, but I am assuming that is an anomaly.

PPI turned up nothing to be concerned about though.

Yikes. $33K for the 2002 996 turbo, with over 100K miles? Great car, but that seems like a lot of miles, unless you are just going to play with it on the weekends. And it is a Porsche. Who wants to do that?

Part of the problem is I often set my alarm in the middle of the day for tomorrow when I know right then when I need to get up tomorrow for a given event or meeting that has come up. I really tend to use my watch for the alarm, so that is probably ok, but sans watch, I cannot see going back to a real alarm clock.…

“You get three guesses and the first two don’t count.”

I’ve never understood this. What if I guess right on the first try? Does it not count?

Our process has gone smooth. They emailed us last Sunday and we picked Dec 22 as our buyback date, but our car has no loan against it.
