Never bought a car, but I’ve bought some very pricey restaurant equipment multiple times. It’s used stuff, so there’s potential for problems. I’ve been fairly lucky, and no I don’t think any part of the reputable online auctions houses are part of a scam.
I don’t know of any auction sites out there that aren’t fairly old and well vetted by years of business.

You’d be paying just the interest for almost 30 years.

would even skip it and stay in Newport Rhode Island Another option would be cape cod area and woods hole


The Cliff Walk in Newport is fun, but overall Block Island offers way more in terms of experiences. I’d also say it is way better than the Cape. In the Cape you drive from town to town in extremely congested conditions and feel like you’re in a tourist snow globe.
Block Island doesn’t feel nearly as touristy as the other places. In Block Island you really get a sense of the region and seems more authentic.

Anyone ever been? We will be traveling in the Northeast this summer and thinking of staying a few days on Block Island. I'm wondering if it is worth it.


Block Island is very underrated IMO. It’s definitely worth 1-2 nights. Spring House is my favorite place to stay. Morning/afternoon bike ride around the island is worth it.
quote:

day is plenty. Take a cruise that includes a port of call at Key West. You can walk from one side of the island and back and stop off at a few of places along the way


That gives you just enough time to buy a t-shirt at Sloppy Joes and tell everyone you have seen it all. There’s definitely more to experience than a brief cruise ship stop.

My biggest advice is to rent a golf cart while you are there. Although most of Key West is close together, it’s nice being able to get places quick and easy.


A golf cart is quick for rental purposes but it drives (rules of the road) and parks the same as a car. You just set soaked if it rains. If you have personal mobility issues uber is faster because of the parking.

the drive from Miami is part of the reason to go to the keys. Do 2 nights in marathon and 2 nights in key west


That drive is miserable. Marathon is a good place to get out on the water from, but there’s not much there.
quote:

Would you fly into Miami and then rent a car and drive through the keys


Horrible alternative IMO. The drive is fun for like 15 minutes.

quote:

Also how many days would be enough? 3? 4?


Depends on your plans. In January there is Mile Zero Fest which is lots of fun. Overall February costs more than January, but the weather improves and getting out on the water is more enjoyable. February is a bit more crowded, but not necessarily in a bad way.

haven’t seen one indication that the debt is being reduced. Please show me some statistics showing that it is. He should just pay the debt down with the tariff tax instead of giving out more “free” money


A segment I saw on CNBC reported that October 2025 saw the largest single month increase to the national debt. There’s no real concern about lowering that number.

know several veterans IRL that get disability and work full time One of them described it as a partial disability or something of the sort


I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who was in the military that doesn’t collect disability.

f the SC declares Trump's tariffs illegal, what happens to all the billions of dollars in tariffs they have collected so far? Will they need to be refunded?


You’re assuming billions $$$$ has been collected.
TACO’s tariff plans change daily.

I’m a RINO.
The insane crap that has happened since 2016 has me lost. I still vote R locally 90% of the time. I’m on the board for a R PAC but MAGA hates us.

The regulative state is massive. It’s also mostly 100% necessary. You can watch a legal compliance law class on YouTube. It will explain a lot.

It’s a lifestyle personality identification statement more than a means of transportation. More often than not it doesn’t reflect as a good person driving the vehicle.

grew up really poor, and I have a strong need for financial security. Debt stresses me out.


That’s why it is so hard to break through to other side of the tracks.
The person with the most debt is probably the person with the most money IMO. I’m always looking for ways to take on more debt.
