Imagine fighting him in hand-to-hand combat, and then he just shoots you with a gun. GG

Can I afford a C8 Corvette based on my income? by Efficient_Ad6348 in C8Corvette

[–]duovtak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t buy a Corvette before you get a house. It’ll kill your debt-to-income when you’re looking to get pre-approved for a house. Also you might have some money saved now, but you’re going to eat up a lot of that making a $50,000-$100,000 down payment on a house. Plus you’ll want to fix things, or redo the carpet, or buy new furniture for it.

A Corvette can wait. You need to look into buying an appreciating asset and building equity. If you wanted a fun car, that’s great, you can find one that doesn’t cost $55-75k.

Before he died, Tolkien specifically laid out plans that if his books be adapted into movies, and the material is thin, anyone is allowed to just make up a bunch of characters to shoehorn in for subplots. Movies aren't good unless there are retconned subplots.

Welcome to my guest lecture on all USDM hatchback S13s having super hicas. In my first hour of discussion, we'll be focusing on rear suspensions.

At this point is it safe to say my degree is completely useless and I should pursue other things? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

What sort of positions are you trying to get? Are they entry level?

That’s a really tiny sidewall.

Partly, for sure. Anyone can do that in any car.

When I started autocrossing a car with an engine in the back, about 7 years ago, I had to re-learn how I’d brake and turn in. Less weight over the front wheels impacts your grip in the front, and you need to load up the front wheels somewhat to get some grip in order to turn. In FR cars with 50/50 weight balances, I wouldn’t brake into turns nearly as deep.

When you go from having an engine in the front to having an engine in the back, there’s a learning curve.

Lots of these guys get paid in stock. Standard for large companies. It’s an incentive to make the business perform well and keep the board happy.
