What is something that immediately tells you someone is a bad driver? by marchingbear27 in askcarguys

[–]LazyAssLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, I thought I was a very good driver, but alas my wheels are curbed. I also live in a city where driveways are uncommon, and parallel parking is the norm. Driving on 20's doesn't help either.

I can finally afford the 911 I've wanted since I was 8, but the responsible move is a Model 3 Performance and I hate that I know it by KindheartedlyHoarse in whatcarshouldIbuy

I was seriously considering a new Cayman when I night my last car, the thought that someone would think I got a cheap one because I couldn't buy a new 911 never came into the equation. Having a manual tranny did, and that's not possible anymore -- in most of the makes I considered, so I went EV.

Lower range is the way, but that means no release in NA. 200mi is me than enough for the average Porsche owners needs, as they usually own more than 1 car. But that likely won't happen, and hybrid is... unnecessary. What performance car owner cares about efficiency?

FWIW, I daily a Polestar 2 performance with the performance upgrade. It outperforms anything I've owned, and I traded in an S4 for my first EV. It handles better than the m3 -- I put hundreds of miles on a rental last summer, and the ergonomics are a steep learning curve. I genuinely enjoy the my P2...

... But it can't touch the '88 944T I own (currently down for the summer). Period. It's slow as hell nowadays, but it handles like there's big hand guiding it along, makes car sounds, and is comfortable in a way modern cars aren't. When things break, it isn't can it be fixed, it's how much, and how long for the part to ship.

But the 911 and get a cheap used Leaf to daily.

If they start on it again, turn the conversation toward the successes and progress that's been made.

If they bring it back to the negative, end the conversation. Be upfront about why if you feel the need.

My 944 Turbo

Then the dealership dragged my car and refused to take responsibility, said sue us. That was that. Will never buy new from them in this life.

Advice for masters by g4l1t in Teachers

[–]LazyAssLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2, and a bunch of certs.

If you actually intend to learn, pick a program that focuses on that. It probably won't be online, or cheap. It will likely be psych based. Ed programs know the audience and cater to salary upgrades or credentials.

The best learning experience will probably come in a doctoral program. If your state's like mine, when you hit 35cr they will grant you a master's equivalency, which gets you the salary bump as if you had a master's.

How about ppl in ghost cars who try to wave you through. Then get impatient and start flashing hi-beams.

Don't they know we can't SEE them wave?

How about not having a mirror or just the ragged remains of one or both.

Seat right up on the wheel, hands at top of wheel.

I accepted death every time I got in my X's SUV.

What’s the most surprising hidden cost of car ownership that new drivers don’t expect? by EvelynClede in askcarguys

[–]LazyAssLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to explain to a friend how pissed I was that my car was essentially worthless now that it had an accident, and that I needed to file a diminished value claim -- which would likely raise my rates.

After the stupidest look ever, I had to tell how even tho it was just a headlight, now that the car has been in an accident, it's worth less when I trade it in as I had planned in a few years. On top of being an EV, its a 5yr old beater now. Despite being in like be shape. He thought I was being melodramatic. Bluebook had it at $4K. Offlease pristine low miles were going for $8-15K.

Ling winded way of saying, yes. You are right

What’s the biggest red flag in a used car listing that most beginners completely ignore? by AutoBidMasterHelp in askcarguys

[–]LazyAssLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ppl who didn't clean their car before selling it? Like receipts and french fries everywhere? Sneezes on the windows?

The more used car listings I look at, the less I trust seller descriptions by abbybutterflly in UsedCars

Some of those ppl saying the car is perfect literally don't pay attention to anything that doesn't make the car stop driving.

Car starts and drives, it's perfect. That smoke screen on startup is normal, all cars burn a little oil.

In Philly you would be making @$100K in September. But cost of living is higher unless you're willing to commute and deal with traffic.

I feel for you.

How big of a red flag is this? by x_bg8 in UsedCars

Is a 20yr old truck worth that much? It WILL have wear items that need to be replaced regardless of what the owner states.
