I am inexplicably drawn to large luxury barges that are fully depreciated, usually to the detriment of my wallet. Read more

I already own it. 2013 Audi A8 L 4.0T.

My biggest issue with charging for wait time is I can’t even count the number of times I have requested Uber/Lyft at an airport and the dumbass goes to the Departures instead of Arrivals so we are standing there waiting for a driver to show who has been sitting on the top deck for like 10 minutes, then they cancel… Read more

I interned with an insurance company last summer when I learned about this story. From what I know she was more than likely (and should’ve been) denied because under coverages E and F exclusions they don’t cover disease transmitted from the insured to a third party. Read more

I, unfortunately, recently paid a visit to my city’s police impound lot [someone complained about my currently registered B5 Avant parked on the street, and got it towed…I don’t want to talk about it], and 3 out of the 5 people in line were there to take a look at their stolen car. There is a separate area for…

Doesn’t matter how prepared you are if the freaking Government won’t follow the goddamned plans. The UK had the same problem as us, the right wingnuts in government tore up the plans because they were ideologically opposed to the very idea of government intervention. That was the failure.

The price increases in general suck, but also look into the options. Read more

Sure financial literacy education would be good, but we also need to shut down these sorts of predatory businesses and put the people behind them in prison. It doesn’t matter how much education you make available, allowing these companies to exist will ensure that desperate people will fall prey to their scams. Read more

Can confirm. I live in the valley and the air is awful here. Read more

Coming down the grapevine into the Central Valley or the 405 into LA through the Sepulveda pass are good examples. I lived several years in Porterville CA and you did not need any elevation to see the  brown air Read more

Actually good point, when I was a student, I worked at a private golf course at the reception. The chauffeur were explaining to me that his employer stopped buying Mercedes Class S and BMW 7 because of thefts and too much attention it was bringing (from the wrong person). This was located closed to Paris. But image… Read more

If it is worth anything to anyone, the scenario described above is casually referred to as an embedded put option. This is exactly what happened in the housing market in the US from 2000-2008/9. People could buy assets with the expectation that prices will rise, with the idea that you would ‘put’ the asset on to… Read more

I actually agree, and as someone who likes their in-car audio to sound its best, a wired connection is the way to go. It’s more just a head-scratcher to me, why their flagship luxury models can’t do something that not only most (if not all) other manufacturers can, but even present on their non-nav models. Why would… Read more

The car flipping on C&B really grinds my gears. It’s not just the slimy practice of the flippers, but that Doug took his car nerd enthusiasm and credibility and parlayed it into a medium that has enriched him and warped the market for cool cars that shouldn’t have become so exclusive or unobtainable. Don’t get me… Read more

This story was shrug worthy to me until I got to the “I’ll enjoy the new car but my payment on that one will be higher as the down payment is now lower.” Read more

When Seattle had their primary boom not long ago, there was a major issue with foreign businesses literally just buying houses with cash, sitting on them for 6 months to a year, and then re-selling them. The city tried to pass laws that required some level of residence, but they all got shot down in court while I was… Read more

Man, some folks seem to have some strong feels about this. Sorry if I caused offence. Also, I didn’t suggest anyone would be confused by it. It just sounds sort of childish to me, particularly when the sex was had in a car rather than a bed. I’m not judging, just commenting. Read more

Yes, as many of you have pointed out: The headline initially said “$2 a day” when it should have said “$2 an hour.” That was my mistake, and I’ve fixed it. Thank you to the comment section for alerting us to this error! Read more

Look here Klaren, the Swedes are my second favorite people. I’ve been there many times, even toured the Gothenburg Volvo plant in 1991. But you are sounding like an electric Karen, Klaren. Read more

And rest assured, once they figure out how to track actual ownership, the "one time payment" will not continue to the next owner.  Read more
