Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I have to say, the Elantra is kind of dope. I filled up the tank and got 38 MPG hand calculated. The handling and comfort are quite respectable, it's super comfy and just a nice place to chill. I've weirdly gotten compliments on it from TWO people. 86 gets more but I would expect this to blend to n...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away
I obviously haven’t had a kid but I have always figured I’ll join the Y again with a kid. Free child care means wife can get a break, I can earn some good graces with her, I n get exercise. I literally hate my fucking life if I can’t exercise.
I’m curious and hopeful that this goes well.

One thing I miss, is when weed was weed. Fuck all these new fangled semi legal gummies and what not, I want to rip a bong or pass around a spliff if I’m going to bother. Oh you’re missing out on the gummies. As a health nut, you should be on this healthier way to intake the herb I mean I have weed ...

I’ve been beating that drum for a while now especially since the 24’s are out which look great. Elantra N is basically the Kirkland brand Hype R. Is that tiny bit of extra performance out of the Hype R worth another $10k in price? Not really. But is the brand prestige of Type R worth it? :iono: :am...

All the auto journalists are like ‘Elantra N is the Type R you need for the price you can afford’ and then proceed to prefer/buy/recommend the Hype R for reasons.

I’ve had the thought should the need arise. That said… would I always wish it was a Hype R? I’ve been beating that drum for a while now especially since the 24’s are out which look great.

I will say, the ND does kind of stomp the BRZ86 in that way. Everyone acts like they're basically the same, but the gap between the miata and BRZ is about the same as the gap between the BRZ and the rest of it's competitors. I'm praying the NE stays the same weight as the ND, has 1-2" more inc...

I almost never participate in weed, but if I do, the illegality kind of adds to the fun IMO.

I don’t know that taking money from people who saved is an answer though. It would be a bit too much regulation for my tastes but limiting the number of homes people/companies can own and not selling our houses to non citizens would maybe be a help for prices. Like not having Chinese corporations a...

Holy shit man I’m sorry. That must have been terrifying. Glad you are mostly intact. It all happened so fast. It went from "Oh shit, she's turning" to "Crap, she's not stopping" and then finally "Oh, this is going to suck." Then the impact. Those airbags go off with th...

Another example a boomer born in 1960 and retiring in 2025 is slated to receive $2885 in social security ... me at the same age in 26 years is slated to receive $3800. I will be getting about 34% more than the boomer. The buying power of a $1000 26 years ago... is $1925 today. Meaning in order for ...

Anecdote of one I know… But my parents have yet to have a paid off home and they’ve had two houses, the first was sold. They did rent it out to my sister for a long time on the cheap because she had a kid in high school and life didn’t go so great. Now she had to move to bumfuck to afford rent becau...

Also, Cleveland airport had a very poor selection of rental cars, I opted for an Elantra with 400 miles on the clock. I can see why people buy these things, for the price it is quite loaded out.

It was still an incredibly durable car. 410k miles under original engine and trans. And it drove itself onto the Junker. I shed a tear inside for sure. This was also a car where I learned its oem parts or nothing. 68 oil changes on the same car will teach you a thing or 20 Crown Vic was not a polic...
