OT X :datass:

I think the student loan bubble deserves to burst more than the housing or auto lending bubble - it's just fucking out of control. Housing and auto at least have something behind the loans as collateral. Student loans are just insane (coming from the guy with wayyyyy too much of them). Eventually p...

The question is when is this student loan bubble going to burst. It has gotten awfully big.

The Second Thoughts/Buyers Remorse Thread

Wow, I legit liked my MK6. Offing it is my regrat. But, it was a 4-door without a sunroof. Great spec car. Yeah that would have been a better spec than the one I got. But. I should have got a WRX or Speed 3. I said no to the Mazda because of the smiley face, but the car drove awesome IMO and was a ...

I would have enjoyed owning a FoST more than my GTI. They came out after I bought the MK6.

I think my STI is the wrong car for my situation but I don't regret purchasing it. I enjoy it, just wonder if I would have enjoyed a :derp: mobile more. I think I'm just caring less about cars in general. I always expected the STI to be just a 1-2 year adventure. I regretted buying the MK6 GTI almos...

The rental car thread

I rented a Ford Expedition from Hertz in Hawaii, and took zero pics. It had the EcoBroost. It was huge, and made my Tahoe feel like an M2. It had the backup camera, but my phone was blocking said camera when I backed straight into some Indian brogrammer from Mountain View's Nissan minivan. Popped i...

Sounds like a pretty great deal dude, worth some real talk. How long is left on the fakesport?
~ 7 months.
Next month you could probably look at things. I think most places could pull a lease in early by 6 months or so.
