    I'm sure some people would consider me a troll, while I think I'm just writing honestly when I see things I don't agree with. Yet reading what you just wrote makes me want to quit …

    A 20 year old pickup is fuel injected, has a catalytic converter, and is checked by it's OBD2 controls constantly. Unless the pickup is failing its smog tests, and driving around w…

    I'm from California where ignoring someone for the way they dress doesn't really happen often. And honestly, any car salesman that's been in it for more than a month has seen a blu…

    They are definitely compensated via a gross profit commission split just like others at the dealership. They do have volume bonuses to make up for the fact that most of their deals…

    4. You said final paperwork previously. I'm not going to bother responding to the rest as it's clear there's some misremembering or exaggeration going on here. In my experience, th…

    1. I wouldn't call a miscommunication between a handshake deal with multiple people and departments involved and the next day the exact same as a "term sheet ruse" which implies th…

    I haven't seen the show unfortunately. My basic summary of the entire absurdity of the common tactic of "what's the best price you can do?" is as follows.. The best price is a vagu…

    1. Weird fraud I've never seen done, if the actual original interest rate was "agreed upon", and not just a "potentially if you qualify at our source bank". 2. I assume the car was…

    You can buy any car in America using the Tesla model. Just call them, tell them you'll pay asking price (just like Tesla requires) and tell them you want it delivered to your house…

    I sold cars for a decade, at very busy dealerships, and I have no idea what a term sheet ruse means. The only 'ruse' in car sales is the game played to stop people that want to pre…

    Take it from a car salesman, this is often a tactic to slow down the negotiation and make you feel like your offer was a good deal for you. I have said those words many times when …

    Every person? Obviously not. Statistically more likely? Absolutely. And your comments about SF people are absolutely true, and I live here.

    Obviously there are great low income earners. I'm just speaking statistically.

    Did you follow this safety protocol with the current covid vaccines?

    Jesus. Go more extreme then. Do you want to live next to the barely employed, social services using, bike stealing crowd? Are we really pretending nicer safer areas aren't more des…

    This wasn't about me, I wasn't the one I described. And I totally understand why people in Atherton wouldn't want people like me as their neighbor. I'm not goofy enough to think we…

    Jesus. I can't even be bothered to keep going with this.

    Yes, obviously the danger of getting passed by a much faster silent vehicle is much less in an area with low traffic density, low intersection density, yada yada. I'm glad we final…

    Is there anyone that genuinely wants people a few steps down financially from them living near by them? If you make $150k being an decent but not fantastic engineer and you get int…

    Either dodge chargers in your area don't have the loud exhausts that they do here in California, or you have a problem of some sort. Loud noises bounce off the road, off buildings.…

    It can be a response to people taking a handful of incidents and ignoring the millions of safe and courteous police interactions a year. So while it may have been a response to cri…

    Atleast when a Dodge Charger is charging up from behind, I can hear the thing. Pedestrians can hear the thing. When the demographic that currently commits most reckless driving eve…
