Since everyone seems to be throwing stones at the Flugmaster's CONCISE, SWEEPING NARRATIVE, which deserves kudos just because it is tight writing, I will voice support for my 20 year old Chevy, my 4 year old Chevy, my 6 year old Bimmer, and my hewn from granite 14 year old Mercedes. The big surpris...

Speaking of the north.. just saw this: https://krcomplexlit.com/the-newsroom/jeep-4xe-all-electric-problem?fbclid=PAAaYTYmDfHx_xtJkCzybMkYlhzZ2AJxBBmQ-f5wVDVOfWvK8L9K60hI53I0g_aem_AX9sEl4i-obBHAXHs1EGJ8yRbL6qkYi_ldbZkC-L1CQ4RdxL4qHuB6a28dog3EUwXlsit2xF_mnMJSdCPbVYuBKsWYo-GQHuedJZeTk017TqIjeT_MGzYKq...

My Tacoma is just fine, thanks. “Our” 13 year old tsx is fine too, 0 oil leaks and everything works.

Your Tacoma is ancient at its core, as is my 4R (which is also been flawless).

Anything NEW is crap.

Also the T1 SUVs with IRS are fantastically comfy, at least the early production units I drove. Seems to be the trucks that suck. But I'd still argue that K2 was peak GM truck. The interior might not be as nice as the facelifted T1s, but it's durable. My neighbor's Tahoe with 120k miles on it still ...

Damn, you'd be 5/7 at that. In a past life, I had a freelance proofreader/editor on "staff" who would proof read/edit "up to 5 articles of 2k words or less" per week for a monthly fee. She did a great job and was really fast, probably got it done in less than 10 hours a week. Th...

The T1 sucks, especially compared to the K2 before. Everyone hated the "bland" design, but it was probably peak GM truck TBH. They sell the heck out of the T1 doe based on the eye test. What is wrong with it exactly? They sell the hell out of them because of pickup loyalists, for sure. Bu...

What I actually want to do is some kind of proofreading or testing, but it seems like no one wants to pay for that and would rather present half-assed shit full of errors to customers. I find glaring errors in almost all published materials. I would be embarrassed to have my name on most things. He...

Ford is just garbage. I feel like everything remotely mass-produced these days is garbage since we as a society have chosen to prioritize cost and convenience over quality. Yea, unfortunately I think you're right. But Ford has never had good quality, and now that the standards are relaxed, it's gon...

Getting further away from cars is a good thing, assuming you plan to work forever like most people. There aren't 40 good years left in that industry. That's our biggest fear at the moment, the wife is stuck in the automotive division of her company and being fully remote has zero chance of getting ...

It'll be different than the last two quite a bit. Hopefully better, but I need to find out. I've never been so honest in interviews and yet they still want me. So, we'll see. We could AirBNB our TC place, but probably won't. I don't want to deal with morans and someone breaking/trashing the place. ...

:hai: Nothing that fun, just taking an internet break for a while and focusing on IRL stuff around the house and whatnot. Got a new job, :waxer: status potential in the long run, will be interesting. Could also be an epic failure, but I need to try and find out. We might be splitting time between h...

OT fell off the front page slackers. I wonder what Chris has been up too. Probably road tripped to some obsecure desert town to buy a gmc syclone or something fun. I'm going with that he got a new even more :waxer: job and is now working even more hours, in theory I have his number somewhere but ha...

K brah, driving 90 miles a day is a :nope: for me. Been there, done that (in LA traffic :doe: ) so whatevs. Everyone's situation is unique. you aren’t wrong, but you might be teetering on being ignorant to society at large. Commutes will still happen. We can seek the least amount of grievance and b...

Other than wasting a significant portion of life commuting or blowing that :mindblown: compensation on :mindblown: housing to reduce the commute. Sorry, but 404 benefits not found :iono: No one is commuting just yet. As mentioned Feb 1st (those not previously agreed to being fully remote and people...

Having visited Chez Maximillian I would offer that it is a pretty damn nice little slice of NorCal living, both in immediate location with its house on the hill/fantastic view, and overall location in the Danville area, which is excellente. I would be loath to give it up. It is one garage space awa...

Why be loyal to a company when they do this? I'm in final rounds at that company for a remote gig that requires travel 1x a quarter with total comp nearing a quarter mil. I've been very upfront with not relocating and they DGAF and said the future is remote so why fight it? They're hiring people fr...

We bought ourselves a bit more time, but we may need to revisit the discussion of overall next steps. Server errors persist, none of us have the time or expertise to trouble shoot or keep the backend up to do date, so it's probably only a matter of time until we have some sort of catastrophic failur...

Lots of articles coming out about irresponsible car lending practices, and the house of cards that will result in :nuke: early to mid '23. It’s not lending it’s people who think they have no other option other than getting raked over the coals and then crying foul. You can ALWAYS walk away :dat: :d...

It's not tho. Still gotta make payments, they'll repo that shit within 3-6mos? Cuck#1 = bought G63 with 75k markup and for cash has now lost 100k+. Cost to own G63 was 100M plus fuel etc Bigbrains#2 = bought G63 on stretch pay with 5k down. Made payments for 3 months of 2k a month all in cost is go...

I'm missing something. It's not free money. The car gets repod and you're left with nothing.

2 years in a G Wagen for “free” I’m too much of a cuck to actually do these Miami style big brain moves

And just fuck your credit with a defaulted loan? I guess if you don't want to buy anything with a loan again for 7-10 years, sure. Why would I need credit if I can walk away with a couple hundred K of free money. Then start using cash. Big brain move I'm missing something. It's not free money. The ...
