Because all of their business practices both repulse and amaze you and they just want to add another log to the fire.max225 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 3:35 pm Hey Guys question...
Whats the deal with carmax fees ?
They are estimating 15% on top of advertised price here in cali. Are these dicks lying about their online prices and adding a "5%" reconditioning fee or something?
Normally it is 10% all i here for taxes (9%) + tags ($80 ) etc. Why is carmax estimating that high ?

But damn, I reached out to Natedogg way back and he said he wasn't interested. He'd be a fun addition around here, hope he makes it over. Plus we could be bros with douchewagons in solidarity.

Even the S P90D I drove is ultimately a toaster. Yeah, it accelerates like mad, but it's still a boring car at the end of the day, don't want.

Having the only one in town is cool... but in the end... a civic sport drove better... yes it was balls slower... but it had some feel/light on its feet etc... at 1/2 the cost... at 55k the Tesla model 3 was wild.

I don't know what made me randomly go to YouTube channel, but good to know he's still as batshit crazy as ever. He starts off the video by talking about getting trade-in values for the car and complaining that he's $3k underwater so he won't do anything. Then contemplates selling off his mods to cover the equity gap, but then comes to the obvious conclusion that a $0 down note on something new would just put him back in a negative equity position.
He then talks about removing mods and going back from Stage 2 to Stage 1 because he was annoyed with not having traction, then for the remainder bitches about how the stage 1 setup feels slow and that Unitronic tunes make less power than a custom tune via Cobb and Stratified. I mean...
I think we've all had our moments, but I have no idea how this dude makes it through a single day.
