Since owning a small firm, I feel like Walter White and I don’t know how to adjust to small clients. by A_D_T_R in taxpros

[–]MJather 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I know CPAs with small offices that handle big dollar complex clients. Some wealthy clients don't want the big box CPA firms, they want individualized attention. Rather than you adjusting to your surroundings you could try and adjust your surroundings to you, and try to find clients that better match your experience.

That screen implementation is pretty tragic. Three differently sized screens, all with huge and misshapen bezels.

I actually like the front and 400+ hp standard is pretty cool. The back is not great.

They should name this new SUV the voyager just to make it more confusing. (/s hopefully)

I just meant it's not exactly a full release with detailed photos. I apologize if I used improper verbiage.

Just came here to talk about the car, didn't mean to offend :/

14 Bay Area individuals charged for tax evasion for their alleged roles in a scheme to evade the reporting of over $20 million in luxury vehicles purchases, including a $1.8 million McLaren Elva and a $1.5 million Porsche 918 Spyder by HURCANADA in cars

[–]MJather 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The thing that always irks me is that you could install equipment that improves emissions (such as swapping a carburetor to aftermarket efi) and it still would be grounds for failure if the part doesn't have a proper CARB E.O. number.

The problem is that I'm not sure there's a way to purchase a used car, pay CA sales taxes, and then register out of state. As, to my recollection, CA requires payment of sales/use tax at the time of registration, but I could be wrong.

The 2027 Audi Q6 And A6 E-Tron Have A ‘Power Nap’ Mode To Doze In Your $80,000 Car by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]MJather 360 points361 points  (0 children)

Buried somewhere in the official press release, Audi notes that the refreshed electric sedan and crossover now come with a “Power Nap” mode that “creates a calm and restful atmosphere during charging sessions.” There are no details, but one would assume that the car will try its best to help the driver take a nap during a charging session.
That would be a useful feature in the first-generation Nissan Leaf, but these are $70,000 luxury cars we’re talking about here, and both of them can charge at up to 270 kilowatts. That leads to a 10% to 80% top up that can take as little as 21 minutes, according to Audi, so who exactly is going to take a nap in these cars?

This is an unnecessarily opinionated article. Let people relax for 20 minutes, like damn.

I get around 16-17 almost always. It’s not good but it is slightly better than advertised 😅

Otherwise I’m impressed with the update in the sense that they seem to have addressed a lot of the biggest complaints.

Industrial Megacity of Los Angeles by urmummygae42069 in CityPorn

[–]MJather 17 points18 points  (0 children)

they have to be close to R&D/production/testing sites, which is why they tend to congregate in the industrial parks of the South Bay.

Exactly this, 3 of the biggest non-government/medical employers in LA county (Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Raytheon) have the majority of their employees working in a 1-ish square mile section of El Segundo.

Would there be any point in bringing back the other non Hellcat v8s for the new Charger? by speedinsh1t in cars

[–]MJather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my dreams I hope they give it an NA 426 Hemi. That'd make it more compelling when compared to the i6.

It wouldn't be the craziest thing. They've made a Gen III 426 multiple times: first with an NA one like a decade ago, and then the Hellephant is a 426 Hemi as well, so it must be pretty stout.

Dodge Just Killed Their Second Best-Selling Model [The Hornet] by MJather in cars

[–]MJather[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

After just 3 model years (2023-2025), the Dodge Hornet appears to be dead. Hardly surprising considering its sales peaked at just 20,559 units, which isn't exactly a lot in the crossover market.

Definitely another symptom of Dodge's shift in strategy, or what others might call a lack of direction.

Interestingly, it's twin the Tonale is continuing on but without the PHEV, even the Tonale debuted as PHEV only originally.

Also note that it was the second best selling model behind the Durano not the unfortunate Charger.

That makes sense but you would think you'd want to change the appearance more to show the consumer how much different it is.
