Debt is ok provided that you are either going to
a) pay it off. Personal debt as you imply everyone stops working someday. (probably)
b) make more money using the borrowed money than the interest, business loans, National Debt, things that have nominal payback.

There are a lot of people who don't understand the…

debt schembt. right?
The unfortunate part is that from a lead by example philosophy the US national debt teaches the masses that debt is OK and we shouldn't fear it. While it is OK to take on a debt burden it should be done with hesitation. Debt like fire, is a good servant but a bad master.

With so much drama in the MBZ it's kinda hard naming models consistently.

How about instead of manufacturers needing to make larger, more bulbous, higher-riding variants of the same damn sedan they've been building into a wagon to meet this "crossover" demand, how about every Starbucks across the nation just lowers their drive-through window height by 6 inches?

Properly matched turbos will show very little more lag than manifold mounted ones, it is one of the selling points of STS Turbos. Had one on my '04 GTO and it was an absolute beast.

SpaceX are the ones trying to get spaceflight into the realm of affordability by getting the actual cost-per-pound to orbit down. What Virgin is doing is NOT spaceflight, nor will it be any time soon. It's a glorified, rocket-powered Vomit Comet for rich people. It's not changing any realities about access to space,…

That's funny because I went to an expensive private high school filled with the kids of some of the wealthiest people in the country but the parents all bought them a Prius or old Volvo. Just a different culture where I am, I suppose.

I just want it to look like this. Why doesn't it look like this?

Volvo 480

Ford Aspire?



I'll see myself out.

how about my NA and W123 in my dad's garage? close enough?

I'm not sure why they bothered to sell a rebadged version of the 323 in Australia.

I had an early 323 GTX when I was 17- found it in a scrapyard for $300, swapped over the bad alternator with the base model 323 beside it and drove it home. Well, that was a surprise. I bought it because it was a sporty looking hatchback and I've always liked small cars. It had nice seats, a nice factory steering…
