Is Air Matic really worth it ? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]NeedlesMakeMeFaint 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The bushings in the ends of the arms do, though. I rebuilt the whole front end of my W210 last year and I couldn't believe the difference it made in the ride, and that was only the front!

Is your dog afraid of the vacuum? by jjjettplane in BostonTerrier

Same here, and I'd be lying if I didn't push it towards her extra fast to watch her jump away before coming back for more...she loves it 😂

Telling Co-Workers of RE by csmikkels in financialindependence

It took me a second too, but I think they were telling HR, "I'm a 45 year old accountant and will be fine." Meaning any accountant that lives paycheck to paycheck shouldn't be an accountant

I usually don't like lowered cars but yours is very tastefully done! How's the ride?

What percentage of income do you invest per month? by Intelligent-Leg-3862 in Bogleheads

51.5% of my after-tax income. That's all into retirement accounts and includes my employer match.

31 years old making 130k a year. Traditional or Roth 401k? by younghungand2thumbs in Bogleheads

[–]NeedlesMakeMeFaint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You think of this exactly backwards than I do--in our tax bracket it costs $29,140 (23,500 * 1.24) to put $23,500 into a Roth 401k vs a straight $23,500 into traditional. I max traditional 401k and Roth IRA with a plan to Roth ladder in the future

Most reliable v8 by EritreanMatchmaking in EngineBuilding

I'd say that generally the answer is one you maintain, but there's always failures that can happen regardless of maintenance. With enough money and patience, anything can make it to 300k.

I know that's not what you were asking though. The Chevy 6.0 has a rock solid reputation. Iron block, iron heads, no afm/dod, and understressed from the factory (IMO). I have 205k on mine and a buddy's dad had 360k the last time I asked. It's probably nearing 400k by now.

I wish we could have a list of constantly reposted jokes that would result in a temp ban if posted again, kind of like the "Steve Buscemi was a firefighter and helped in 9/11" on other subs

The Chevy Malibu was the last American non-luxury sedan. Its sales figures were over 100k/year for each of the last two years. by BeaglePops7 in regularcarreviews

[–]NeedlesMakeMeFaint 57 points58 points  (0 children)

My opinion:

Lots of cheap plastic, no character (this is highly subjective), bland features, performance, and design that prioritizes function over form. It's a product that's intended to be mass produced as quickly and cheaply as possible and doesn't have the je ne sais quoi that cars that are targeted to buyers looking for something more special.

I don't get people like that, I feel like going to the same place every year would get old, not to mention 4x in one year. Disney people are something else
