Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
:notsure: why the article said it's probably an auto because he's 81. He's been a car guy ever since he started making bank 60+ years ago and can certainly drive a :manuel: . He's also known to be fairly frugal, lives in a small farm house in Scotland instead of a giant mansion, etc, so he probably...

:dat: It's really a nice toaster to live with day to day. One :| is that the fuel capacity shrunk from 18.5 gal in ours to only 14 in the current ones. My accord is embarresingly small. At one point, my dad was with me and I was filling up the car, he noticed it only filled 11.500 gallons, he was :...

Yeah, I refuse to see 6:00 am on the weekends. We lost our cleaning lady 3 years ago and haven't replaced her and I have a "yard guy" 6 weeks a year in the late fall as I HATE raking leaves. Frankly, I'm just getting more satisfaction out of my multi-year landscaping/firepit/patio project...

Cleaning lady and YARD guy... damn bruh. I mowed the lawn until age 40. That's long enough. I might also consider reupping on yard work if I ever moved back to the midwest just for the exercise but doing yardwork in this burg from May through October is a hard no dawg. Cleaning lady could probably ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Yeah the owner’s manual says 13.2 and my first full fill up I put 12.419g in it, so I think that’s accurate. Driven 120something miles this week and still showing 3/4 of a tank which is :nice: I’ll probably fill up again next weekend, even though I should drive way less next week with Michelle bein...

:dat: It's really a nice toaster to live with day to day. One :| is that the fuel capacity shrunk from 18.5 gal in ours to only 14 in the current ones. 13.2 in this bad boy. But that at least makes sense with the size/weight of the thing. Yeah, that new H is big. No excuse for having a :jalepenis: ...

Mid-year performance review went great. Exceeds expectations across the board with notable growth in taking on more of a headship role with my contract actions instead of setting to my contract officers. Cash pool for bonuses is low this year with budget constraints, but I got the $500 max, plus a ...

My bro and SIL have a mid-late teens Prius. It's probably the worst car I've been in in a generation. Unbelievably awful. It also hasn't been super reliable either. Bro hates it too, lol. I get in a lot of Prius Ubers for some reason. Charlotte is infested with them. They’re the worst car I could h...

You should give a fuck about both OF COURSE. But no lease deal on a Model 3 is going to move me to action, even though it should by pure green visor car hater economics. Stop talking about cars, stop talking about M3s, M2s, sports cars, fun, pleasure in general. Wear Costco Signature Sweatshirts an...

Buying experience may be part of it too. Aren't scumbag :dillerman: marking up primes too? My brother in law is trading in his 3 for a Y and the process is so easy. No :bs: Yep, I'd rather have a Prius, but I think a Model 3 is quite a bit cheaper at this point. Also, I drove a 2014 Prius the other...

You're not a man who is looking for cheap 0FG transport and has a knack for behemoth SUVs from a bygone era with plenty of brubs. A model 3 fills a different nieche. IMO it is the easiest to use, cheapest to own EV vehicle one can purchase in the USA today. And it CAN be significantly cheaper than ...

Or maybe stick around to see how things shake out. But those situations never seem to end up positive for the acquired company employees other than senior executives.
