Seriously, the law requires accommodations, they did just that in providing him with a rental. It does not say "has to be brand new, identical and require the dealership to chew up a 50k luxury car so your little doggie can ride in the passenger seat".

So, when the next person they hand the loaner car to who has a serious allergy to dog dander breaks out in hives and sues the dealer, who pays?

Own a modern car. 5 quarts will make a nice tapping sound, just about anything performance based takes 7.5-8 quarts to start. More on a lot of a vehicles, 9 isn't uncommon. Stick a proper OEM filter on it for 12-15 bucks (Wix, seriously)? And 70 bucks is very easy.

Man, I'd love to be able to change my oil for 15 bucks. It's 40+ bucks these days even if you stick to non synthetic. Use the good stuff and you're at 70 with a filter, easy. Triple digits if you're running something with an ///M badge or other performance setup.

Given that it's a 35 dollar fine and no confiscation, I'm willing to bet "no".

Given that those were the first gen trucks, and were built 15+ years ago, don't think you've got too much to worry about there chief.

You need to update that picture a touch, glancing down the street today, 87 octane runs about 2.42/gallon, diesel is at 3.97.

You realize that's not a picture of the new truck, correct?

Not a CPO car there, chief. Your reading skills resemble your financial planning skills. You also have shitty tastes in 3 series.

I'd really like to know where you're finding a chip for a 540i that's getting you 390 hp out of a 280 hp motor.

A year old car pushing 42k miles. Good call there, must be a peach. Your financial adviser recommend that one too? $34k and it's already almost out of powertrain, free maintenance and basic warranty.

Freaking *thank you* dude. Unless you're loaded or operating off of poorly set up 1099s, your average middle class family with a kid and a mortgage is paying jack shit in taxes. Itemized deductions are easy.

Your "600/month" figure assumes a nearly 8% interest rate. Dude, it's 2014. Car loans haven't touched that high in 15 years. Most places these days are 0 or 0.9 for 72 months. Going in at a more realistic rate puts you at 500/month, or, since 72 is the new normal, about ~420/month.

It should intrigue you, because it's not true.

Bahahahahaha.

Does your financial adviser live out of his car as well? There's sane financial planning, and then there's ridiculous timidity over expenses. 50k is a decently optioned pickup truck these days, or 5k away from a higher level Toyota Sienna. Saying that you basically have to be a doctor/lawyer/upper level management to…

Uh, you might want to take 3 minutes to read up a touch on estate laws. Unsecured debts go away when you die, your heirs aren't paying those.
