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...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
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...

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...

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 way the doors shut on the silver bullet was divine. Vault. Bmws sound like disgusting tincans in comparison. My coworker is really into old luxo cars. He owns an Acura Legend and Vigor, a 1997 S Class, an LS400, a 2000ish 740i, I believe a newer C Class his wife drives. He also had an E class o...

The beemer has been a great car.......I mean, I take care of it and it only has 48K on it, but pretty much its been perfect. We need a silver bullet vs poopoo projectile comparison The build quality on any E Class is going to be a world away from a BMW 3/4 Series. They are just better cars. But the...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away
Playing a Tuba changes everything. :notwrong: I never really fit in with the University of Miami marching band people, though. I remember on that trip after playing in the parade. I just walked around Disney by myself, and it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life. The first couple o...

This must be why I still put my 55 year old body on concrete. I maintain that doing the erl change at home is actually far less work. The whole spend an hour driving and then another two hours sitting in a rape palace lobby is quite unappealing when I can change it at home in 30 minutes for 1/4 the...

Exactly. Meanwhile the air quality in the Coachella Valley is atrocious. Dust has filled the skies for the last two days and will continue into tomorrow. Spring in the desert is straight up Grapes of Wrath dust bowl stuff. I feel like Tom Joad. So you're saying you live in Athens. https://s.yimg.co...
