If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don’t, but a man can dream though. A man can dream.

    You have gotta be shitting me.

    I thought I was being unreasonable for playing around with the idea should I figure out a way to save up the $30k for a midlife crisis car.

    And here people are already paying that premium while in debt with another vehicle. So they roll over the debt. Now, I’m not exactly sure why the people bought a new rolling death machine, but it sounds a lot like a significant lack of reason.

      He’s not. I bought a Subaru with an 820 credit score and still couldn’t get less than like a 6% APR through my own shopping and dealer even looking. This was a year ago. My payments are in the 500 range though.

      Thankfully my other car is paid off and we’re in a position to afford the Subaru without issue. It’s become my wife’s daily while I drive the paid off Hyundai.
