Yes - usually the non status-quo people are viewed that way.

I usually loathe unsolicited political calls and text messages. However I received one today that I can’t argue with:

Steve Scalise has represented us for 30 years, and Louisiana is still ranked LAST among all 50 states. Ask yourself: What has Scalise actually done to improve your quality of life?

There are 2 other Republicans, an Independent and a Democrat on the ballot. If you want different results, vote anyone but Scalise. Louisiana deserves better. Election day: Nov 5th.

Drain the swamp?

I feel like this board has turned into Facebook 2.0 where old people yell at clouds.

Stop posting your opinions about restaurants

Ok. I’ll stop posting my opinion that Ruth Chris is not “perfection” since better steaks can be found in any major city.

Perfection literally means ‘perfect’ which would insinuate there is nothing better out there.

If it weren't for The Beatles, Pink Floyd wouldn't exist. Now saying that, DSOTM is a fantastic album

Dumb statement. If it weren’t for Buddy Holly, the Beatles wouldn’t exist. So is Buddy Holly the true mastermind? Of course he isn’t but you get my point.

The early Beatles stuff is straight up bubble gum teenage girl pop music. That’s a fact Jack.

I really DGAF about this one. The Carabao is pointless and should be abolished.

Understood thanks for clarifying.

Didn’t mean to be jumpy. I fricked up and sparred with a few PT idiots this week.

We can agree to disagree. I think there’s enough global concensus that we’re both probably right. Gilmour wins on instrumental talent though :)

Cheers.

You'll need to research maintenance costs over the life of the car you're looking at if you haven't already.

True. But right now I’m looking at principle + interest. I’ve found new models around 55k and some certified used in the 40’s.

It seems like with the passage of time the gap between new and used rates is getting bigger and bigger.

Sorry if Germans…this is my first time on this board. I’m purchasing a car soon, and considering some low mileage used options (sub 15k). I have always bought new because I just prefer new cars.

So my question is, how big of a price difference would make it worthwhile to go with used? I’m taking the huge gap in interest rates into account, and right now it looks like used rates are about double that of new rates.

So let’s say we have a new car price of $55,000, how low would the price of a used car have to be to stomach the absurdly high used rates? 40k? 45k?

Appreciate it.

Which is funny because the only stat you provided

You need a stat to prove that insurance rates are a state issue and not a federal one?

GTFOH

Roger, I’ll give you this one. At least you’re independent minded. I just wish more free thinkers had the testicular fortitude to think outside of D and R and put their vote to use.
