President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The real key is to keep an eye on when a model is due for a refresh. If you buy a new car that is in the fifth year of its model cycle, you aren’t going to get shit for a trade on it five years later when the next generation is about to give way to a third generation.

I usually figure you should buy early in a model cycle (year 1 or 2) and either trade in 3-5 years later, while it still has strong resale value or ride it til it dies. Trading in a 7-year-old vehicle with moderate-high mileage is the worst of both worlds.

Selling early avoids many of the maintenance requirements and repair work that needs to get done, but you basically accept you will always have a car payment. Running it into the ground incurs more maintenance and repairs, but you may go a decade without a car payment.

Trading in after 6-9 years means you pay all the depreciation, most of the repairs and you only get 2-4 years without a car payment.

 

Goddamn this is brilliant.

That is an ... interesting translation.

Thanks! I'll look for it.

Congratulations! Babies drive car-buying decisions far more than any other factor I can think of. I went from a single, childless Mustang owner to a husband/father Mercedes C-class owner to a father-of-two Infiniti QX60 owner faster than I could blink.

If you’re looking at the Telluride, one of our best friends has a Hyundai Palisade, which is more or less the same vehicle, and she loves it.

 

Pretty common corporate speak.

Get hired = onboarding
Get fired/resign = offboarding

As someone who worked on an assembly line building engines until recently, always buy the second year of the model. The first few weeks of the model change, despite being trained and preparing for months, things go on that you probably don’t want to know about when you turn over the ignition.

At least wait until the guinea pigs who go out and buy a new model right at first have absorbed all the recalls.

 

I don't think you should get a library when there's serious doubt you've ever read a book: including the ones that were clearly ghosted for you.

Not the first time Tuberville screwed up the Constitution. No wonder the graduation rate at Auburn sucked so bad.
And "after we get this virus behind us?" You mean that virus that people like you denied for months? So now it's a thing if it somehow can be used to circumvent the Constitution.
But the feeble, transparent notion here is somehow hoping that this could happen and that somehow, in the interim, something would happen to keep Trump in office.
The clock will run out at noon on Jan. 20, Tommy.

 

I’ve owned two first-gen vehicles - a 2005 Mustang and a 2020 Mercedes GLE - and haven’t had any problems. Any issues that might crop up would be covered by warranty. You risk having to take the time to take the car/truck to the dealership, but there are few first-year vehicles where the issues are so bad that they might to leave you stranded.
