  1. Money leads people to do peculiar things. Like time a divorce.
  2. I have to avoid grapefruit with my atorvastatin no change to diet
  3. My buddies brokeass Sonic puked the engine well before 100k. Good luck.
  4. Not quite that simple. Hybrids tend to have much weaker motors than PHEVs and BEVs. They generally can only put full power down, or get above 40-50mph, when they kick the gas engine on. My theory is more stuff on one vehicle is more stuff on one vehicle. Overstressing parts for long times is the problem, not merely using them in the first place. If I had to take my guess at most reliable cars on sale today, I’d suspect 2.0L Corolla/Civic, 2wd 4Runner, base Rav4, and a couple EVs.
  5. I don’t personally believe that. It’s more systems with more potentials for failure. A well-engineered electric vehicle is the gold standard of reliability. At best, an extremely well-engineered ICE vehicle can maybe attempt to come close.
  6. Requiring building permits is not oppression, Bradley
  7. Cancer is a bit less physically evil than it used to be, but it's still financially evil as hell
  8. Like when you've had neuropathy spasms for five months Although it has been getting a bit better
  9. I guess you could say I'm an atheist that is not above praying when he's desperate
  10. it's not my fault the blacks want to ruin their lives with Chrysler 300's and Dodge Chargers instead of building stability with Tacomas and Rav4's.
  11. al fresco: very white phrase especially when it's a noun to refer to the patio dining area
  12. Seriously they built a pitched roof over the existing flat roof in 2005.
  13. Homesteading here on my 0.12 acre just like the pilgrims did
  14. Acreage might be the whitest noun I’ve ever heard
  15. 72 month is so 2018. 84 month is all the rage now. Gotta do what you gotta do for the basics, like King Ranch crew cab F150s. Bought the Miata on a 60-month loan, paid it off in 28. 4Runner is 60-month, anticipate paying off at 24 to 30. and then no more car loans. Ideally forever.
  16. Hard to call inflation a problem among the middle class when truck sales keep increasing That’s like complaining about finances while you’re popping a hundred dollar bottle of wine on a Tuesday
  17. High speed rail? No thanks, I’d like to drive my $40k car that I insure and pay gas on, and remain at attention in a stressful situation so I don’t wreck it or get injured. I would like to do this for several hours and get passed by the train. It is the American way.
  18. Shinkansen to the north of Japan now there’s an idea
