Thankfully, there was a lot of visual to keep me entertained. The details were stunning. I mean, really, really stunning. Everything from the F1 tent party to the way the antagonista composed herself, there wasn’t a second I believed that this wasn’t a great period movie. It just needed some spark. Plot development… Read more

In perhaps one of the most distracting and confusing moves of late, the Motor Company released their 2016 model…
~$4/gallon, and I still can’t get 93 octane in this stupid state. You forgot point #6, market manipulators and lobbyists. Even with the known confounds, it doesn’t add up. Oil goes down by ~75%, gas price down by ~10%. I don’t get it. Read more
A handy guide for writing about shitty customer behavior on the internet is to ask yourself, “am I at all treating…
You are right on point. We recently bought a Fiesta ST when I really wanted to wait and buy a Focus RS. We make decent money for where we live (dual income, no kids), but with the cost of housing, rising food costs, and a slightly unstable economy, it just did not make economic sense. Read more
I’m right in that same camp. Maybe it’s because where I live has absurdly high cost-of-living, but I do NOT understand how people afford $500+/month car payments (plus the requisite full-coverage insurance for a financed car) on top of all their other bills and living expenses.

I see this video as a kind service to us and all the teenagers who drive J-Body’s and Civic’s, who will now, more than likely, find a giant farm field to try to conduct e-brake drifting in until they break something, thus, keeping them off our roads. Read more
Dave Ramsey’s advice is very general and made for people in financial trouble. In general, you probably shouldn’t get $30,000 in debt when you already have previous debt that you can’t pay off realistically. Paying cash for a lesser used car is a good idea in that case.
The people saying that you can just invest that… Read more
Absolutely right. Everyone these days wants to believe that the best answer to any question is a simple answer. Lazy thinkers. Give it to ‘em in a slogan and they’ll hang on to it like it was handed down from on high. “Never buy new” is a prime example. Never buy new! Depreciation! Value of the car after three years… Read more
I’m sure Dave would shame me, but I’ve got two car payments. Both are 0% interest, though. My savings account doesn’t make much interest, but it still makes positive interest. Read more
This guy is a fucking idiot. If car loans were like 25% interest, I’d agree with him...pay cash. But they aren’t. You’re be hard pressed to pay more than 4% if you have decent credit, and even at that rate, your money can make more money for you almost anywhere (save for a bank savings account). As for the used vs new… Read more
