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 beca...

Might want to crank up a nice little PI settlement to add to the payoff on the Camaro.

I have contacted one already.

Just pulled right in front of you? RIP bitchin' Camaro. Glad you're mostly OK> Yeah, I had the green she must have had a left on green light, and she didn't see me at all. Just turned in front of me. She didn't even try to slowdown or stop. Might want to crank up a nice little PI settlement to add ...

And the Fruit Roll Up House? Ah, sorry. It’s kind of a joke of times past; when high school drop out Beatrice was working as a secretary to a big shot and giving sloppy toppies at lunch time while the boys were smoking some cigars, she was still able to purchase a house for the value of a fruit rol...

F or those who haven't heard, a lady turned left in front of me on Friday. Fairly certain the Camaro is totaled, it's quite damaged. I'm doing okay, left shoulder is fucked. I went to the doctor, and nothing is broken so that's good. Been doing a lot of car shopping. Just pulled right in front of y...

I’m not saying redistribute wealth, I’m saying let the young’s get the same opportunities the old had. That requires the same benefits the olds receive/received when they were our age . How about that ? It’ll never happen when mommy milkers Nancy and her crew are deep in the middle of milking the c...

Alimony is 1:2 of the years you’re married until year 7. Been exploring some options just in case. Also that’s why Sibarian princess with blue eyes and blonde hair that cooked and cleaned for me got the boot. I needed my woman to work to even remotely live in a non ghetto. All part of the plan Stay...

:lol: What? When Ward Cleaver went to work and left June at home to raise Wally and the Beav, he still had a mortgage and a car loan. https://www.axios.com/2023/11/20/american-housing-market-older-homeowners-2023 First time home owners in the mid 80s were in their late 20, and they are lucky enough...

...and thats a problem. We do ok, made mostly good decisions along the way, and money wise kid was a struggle at 36 pre 2020 inflation spike. We do REALLY well now. I might have 2 paid off cars, but they are both 10+ years old. Wifes is 8. I do a lot of shit myself that eats people up of lesser ski...

If one doesn’t “oversimplify” you get nothing done and write 10000 page regulations on how high to cut the grass and if birds fart. Facts are facts. Our younger generations are being fucked into oblivion and carrying the golden geese into the retirement Homes. It’s a bit more troubling than just wh...

Not a single new alternator for a VW 1.8T in the entire Charlotte Metro Area?

Here is a fun story: My college best friend/roommate (drives :manuel: Taco) and his wife have a Golf AllTrac that she drives. They got a warning light on the dash that the battery wasn't charging. He actually called me and I suggested testing the alternator. Well, they don't have a volt meter even ...

"Quality is #1" - Ford 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 thin...

Ladies and ladies, your first installment of shit I see and hear!

Taxing unrealized capital gains is the most atrocious thing I’ve heard in a long time. I don’t care what income level, that’s just criminal. Also, they can say all they want about raising the LT capital gains on only earners over $1.0M, but it’s only a matter of time before they decide to make it u...

That is absurd.

So one proposal is anyone with above 500k in net worth should be paying the full state prop taxes regardless of when the house was purchased. And then sliding scale down for first time home owners especially with anyone with kids. That only rewards people leasing TRX's and punishes you for drinking...

I love your boomer hate bro. It makes a lot more sense than hating Toyota price creep. They wonder why young people are not having kids. And one of the lowest birth rates on record. Because young folks are taxed/financially ruined to pay for the olds swimming in money. For every young person trying...

I wondering if boomers will FUCK everyone in the stock market next. 1. They already fucked everyone with college tuition (They got it for $200 a year and current students are out 15>80k a year) 2. They fucked everyone on the pensions (they overloaded the system and made it unsustainable and yet dra...

The W140 S Class is a tank like no other.

It was the last one not built to a budget and widely regarded as the last “true” Mercedes

A W140 V-12 woudl be a nice addition to any car collection.

That is remarkable, especially considering it’s a 2017 or so?
