Oh man - I was so stoked about these last year. Almost put money down to reserve one. Glad I didn’t - because as much as I love almost everything about it, they’re listed at $80k for the RWD version in Canada. And there’s no way I’m paying that much for it.

It boggles my mind that Jeep is struggling. I swear, at least one in every 3 cars on the road is a relatively recent model. They can’t be investing that much into R&D and I refuse to believe that they’re all that expensive to build.

Well, sure.

I will go so far as to grant that he might need a car. Some jobs / areas really do have that as a necessity. But a $70k Corvette - hell, no. I think I posted elsewhere that if he needs a car, it should be a 10 year old, 10 K used Corolla.  At max.  Just expensive enough and new enough to be reliable enough to meet its…

I think it’s bigger than that though. I have friends in high end banking / law (I’m but a humble public servant) - and it’s not just a self perception thing for them. The idea that a car (and a suit / watch / shoes / pen / drink / house / etc) form an integral part of your marketed image bit is foisted on them by…

It stuns me that someone could fuck up so badly financially - literally stare that amount of debt in the face - and still think they should be off driving a $70k sports car.

“Bro” hahahahaha

People are acting like he just lacks creativity, so cribs from obvious science fiction. Either intentionally or accidentally.

That’s not pragmatism, that’s callousness.

Well you seem concerned about implementing laws that might keep people from doing stupid things. You also seem very passionate about seeing people die because they did something stupid.  Which is a really shitty kind of person to be.

You have to remember these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know...

How is a law requiring helmet usage your problem? Why do you seem to care that it exists?

As my friend’s deeply southern mother would say... “Oh, bless your heart.”

I love how this reads like they’re talking about an invasive species.

I always assumed there was this sizing up going on between trucks. A complex amalgam of size, horsepower, lift, tow mirrors, price, sound, wheels (number, size and width), speed and “what they’re hauling”.

I bought a VB WRX last yeast - the model right below the GT - so with the stick shift. Looking at the TR, I’m kinda wondering if I should have waited - this sounds like a pretty cool car.

I thought it meant they served as an English archer in the battle of Agincourt, and exclusively use it when passing Citrons and Peugeots.

This sentence?

OK, but again - just because you don’t see the point in owning it, or see yourself getting any enjoyment out of it, doesn’t matter. Someone clearly does get enjoyment out of it. And they hurt absolutely no one in pursuing what makes them happy.

Came here to say this too:
