    What vehicle do you drive?

    That's still faster than average. What most of the world can afford is not quick cars.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Ignore him. There's no economic reason to pay cash for a depreciating item like a new car. Finance at a low rate and use the difference in the market and actually make money. Very few cars are worth paying cash (think used. High-end and rare cars). All the millionaires I know lease cars and...

    Car ?'s

    The Porsche market is a deep, dark rabbit hole in the best of times. Mid 2020 to now its absolutely insane. The GT cars from the 997 and 991 generations are selling for 20-50% OVER sticker price, used. If you want a 997.2 (10-12 years old) you're paying $140k to $170k for the Non-RS and...

    Car ?'s

    Anyway, back to the discussion at hand: the market for new and used is bad right now. If you can wait, I'd suggest doing so until quarter 2 of next year. Its the same for houses, watches, boats, etc. When things do settle, get what makes you smile and enjoy driving. However, I do second your...

    Car ?'s

    The current and prior generations of Mustang have BAD manuals in them. They are chinese made. The GT350 has a proper Tremec, but that's a much more expensive car. If you're not going to race the car or mod it for more power, you'd probably be OK. Current generation Camaro is also a really good...

    Speaking of Honda: Neighbors Honda push mower. In 9 years, NO oil change, NO spark plug change, NO air filter change. It starts on the first pull every single time and runs like a champ. I'm going to do some maintenance on it this weekend. I think its time.

    We had a large cast iron, free standing wood stove when I was a kid. Very efficient at heating a room and the air control could keep it going a while. But, I don't think it would burn that long, maybe 6 hours. You'd need an exceptional amount of wood. I'll try to remember the name, but in all...

    Old Dodge truck with the diesel inline 6/manual. 3 in the cab and probably 8 in the bed? Sounds perfect.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Chik-Fil-a does it really well. They have people taking the orders in person between the two lines and then they tell you when - and coordinate - the cars merge in the correct order. Plus they're fucking nice, respectful, and happy employees.

    You think you'll save money on gas, but 100% guarantee there will be an alternative road tax for EVs because the states are not able to get their tax revenue from the pump. You will spend just as much in the end, its only a matter of time.

    Car ?'s

    Honestly, it sounds like the car is too expensive for you and there would be better uses for your 2-3 years of savings, like putting it away for retirement. I get that you want it, but you certainly don't need it. I'd also say you're wasting money on crypto, but kids these days don't like to...

    Blizzard very likely did things wrong over the years as it relates to employees. But, they are going to be made into an example and will probably be burned more than their indiscretions warrant.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Prior generation was the last one that looked good to me. Only attractive BMW left is the M2. Personal preference, of course. I'd pick an Audi or Merc in the same tier, these days. RS5 is 8 series money, faster, and prettier.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    All performance mods will be the same, except exhaust (8 series is a longer car). 5 is faster due to less weight. Can make them both faster, but the big power voids warranties and you'll get to a point where a 2 year old M5 is more cost effective and better looking.

    This might be a dumb question, but is there a meter that records how long its been used, or is that just an estimate someone throws out about how much they think they've used it?

    What game is that @Warr ? The new version of Mordheim (skirmish)? Since covid broke 18 months ago I've been dying to get back into modeling terrain, painting armies, and playing. But, I can't do full scale Fantasy/40k anymore. There's too much required and no one to play with. I'd love to be...

    Its not the transmission, its the tuning and software each manufacturer decides to code for that trans in w/e car. The ZF 8 speed is a very good transmission and can hold a ton of power. In the Hellcat it was amazingly responsive and user friendly. In the Audi, maybe it was coded to be safer and...

    They've never, ever made brilliant business decisions and have alienated their fan base in different ways, for decades. Now I hear they are bringing back Warhammer Fantasy, despite making a massive deal out of its death years ago saying how much better Age of Sigmar was. Dumb in the past. Dumb...
