I didn't pay attention to the details, but saw something about the cyber truck recall leaked that something like 13k have been sold, and Elon said something like 250k were sold

those numbers are wrong, but it was something like that

When are you putting your order in...

for the Hot Wheels version? :p

btw, i've been thinking about getting a new prius, but I read there was a cyber attack on USA car dealerships lol, and everything is all messed up for a while


I started a WNBA thread in sporting events forum


It still boggles my mind that the average new car price is in the mid 30k's. My 2008 mini van blue book value is $2,800 and it drives/works great. How does it ever make sense to get rid of it?


If you like that, you should see home prices!

We just bought a car over the weekend and this actually helped us because business was so slow they were itching to make a sale.

We had a 2005 Acoord that finally needed enough work to replace. Our other is a 2009 Mazda that should last for another 5 or 10 years the way its running.


I prefer "words mean what I want them to mean"

It's tough to beat the feeling of not having a car payment!


For all Elon fans:
SpaceX is now reportedly valued at $210 billion, up from $180 billion in December 2023.
The new valuation is a record for an American private company. With the skyrocketing (pun intended) valuations of all of Elon's companies, Twitter is turning into pocket change.

Seems like I've read that for the big 3 average transaction prices are more like $50k. Which is even crazier. I can't imagine what some of those car payments look like.

space x is just a military contractor, right? I mean like 90%ish of their money comes from USA military right?

We will register and get a new plate some time in the next week or two. We have 30 days.

Cyber attack brought down all their CRM software as well as some of their internal software. But didn't affect our buying process much. But they had non-existent traffic, we were the only people we saw there for the 3 hours we were there.

Payments aren't as bad as you'd think because so many people are being pushed into longer term loans. We ended up taking out a 72 month loan only because we get it at 0.9% so it's basically free money. It'd be stupid to pay it off any faster.

But for lots of people, they are just looking for the most car for the lowest payments regardless of the true cost of the car.

mark! you were right the whole time, I should have moved to south of commerce, and not in the middle of LA

I loved living in Downey!


Now one day, I believe it was on a Tuesday
A man in a checkered, double knit suit
Drove up in a large Eldorado Cadillac leased from Bob Spreen
(Where the freeways meet in Downey)
And he laid a huge, bulging envelope
Right at the corner of Billy the Mountain


Woot! I just got 12 cents from some class action settlement!!!


way to go!

my gas bill was 8 dollars last month!

my gf clogged up the shower. so instead of fixing it, I'd just turn the shower on to get wet, then turn it off, then wash up, then turn it back on to rinse off
