I can't believe that it is even legal to finance a car for 35 years in any state, or that it isn't against usury laws to charge over 1000% interest ($250K) for a $20K car. I suspect neither the seller nor the buyer expect more than a couple of payments to be made.
I haven't bought a new car in more than 20 years, but when I bought a new 740iL in 2001 my payment was about $600/month, and that seemed really steep at the time. I did end up paying the balance after three and a half years, and that car ran for 240,XXX over 12 years. Best car I've ever owned. Last model year.

Just changed the entire front wheel assembly on our beater wheelbarrow a couple days ago! Was cheaper to buy a new assembly than a new tire and tube…
Took me a bit longer because I also had to shim out the front brace because he wood handles are starting to dry rot, and removed every nut to lube the threads. I also sprayed down everywhere I saw rust with some Locktite rust converter.
I knew it….

Yup and when I did it, I went with a cheapie Harbor Freight Airless version. It's been working great for at least 10 years now
Wheelbarrows need flat free tires and non wooden handles. Nothing worse than needing a wheelbarrow and it's got a flat or the handle breaks. I will die on this hill.
For the life of me I can't figure out what happened.
Got in an "internet argument" with someone over this very topic. He came back with Stop the poors from transportation. I asked if he has read Atlas Shrugged, transportation is not a right. And being poor has nothing to do with it, knowing how to act like a fucking human is what is is all about.

And hydrogen peroxide (normal house 3% solution) will give a gut ache and not kill you.
Interesting in the ER telling a teen that after “drinking the whole bottle”.
The gut ache is very real.
As is the M1 hold and psych placement once medically clear…..
You guys seem to like dash pics, let me tell you this is what retirement is all about.
I remember noticing as a kid that things changed. Saw brown paper bags for luggage. Deregulation in 1978 set the stage for a more free market and competition, but fares today are about the same cost (inflation adjusted dollars) as before deregulation. So, as typical, lower quality for the same price. After my last trip, I'm ready to try business class.
I’m really sorry to interject something real in this thread but there is no such thing as legit deregulation in America. All of the “deregulation” is just some shuffling around of language in some obscure laws by the big players of whatever section of the economy.
Jimmy, thanks. And that great Department of Education is really doing wonders.
He was the one that deregulated the airlines, and came up with the dep of ed.
Wrong, retirements about getting in the fast lane and driving the speed limit without a single care, as you piss off everyone behind you that’s in a rush…
also a dick move, but hey, they should have gotten there before you

same thing i found here when looking at new tyres and tubes, cheaper to get the complete wheel than parts.
we have about 6 barrows going, one needs a wheel and axle. have no idea why my late father hadnt put that barrow back in service.
cant have enough barrows on a property, at least thats what ive found.
i thought id be smart and get solid wheels for some projects, never again, they all have flat spots. youre lucky if you havent had an issue.
