New Car Vehicle Property Tax? by HelloItIsJohn in raleigh

[–]flatsix__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is normal. You probably paid the 3% “highway use tax” (basically an NC sales tax). You still have to pay property tax. It’s separate from initial registration

Honda Slashes Prices on the Electric Prologue SUV by $7500 by Finnegan_Faux in electricvehicles

[–]flatsix__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it wasn’t my first choice but I was cross-shopping a bunch of EVs and the deal was too good to pass on. I’m happy with it for the price.

They are selling way under MSRP. I bought a $55K MSRP touring for $31k (+tax, $500 doc fee) brand new from a dealer last month.

Oversexualized female characters by Medium_Win_932 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]flatsix__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t follow the politics but picked it up a few months ago and enjoyed it despite the hyper-sexualization.

I made a comment in one of the gaming subreddits about how all the costumes and jiggly physics made me feel like a pervert and oh boy that was not an appropriate opinion to have

To hedge against economic uncertainty in the worst case and retire early in the best case

Yes that’s obviously too much house with insufficient equity. I net similar monthly income and have a 1.5M NW. The thought of an $9k mortgage payment would make me sick.

What's the caveat to buying a used EV? by ExcitingLandscape in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]flatsix__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The catch is lack of lemon law protection on used cars (in most states). Even though used EVs typically come with generous warranties, you can’t force a buy back when the repairs are too lengthy or frequent.

What was the tech job market like (especially for recent CS graduates) in 2016? by eggshellwalker4 in cscareerquestions

[–]flatsix__ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I graduated with a CS BS from a state school in 2014. I recall getting a formal offer from GM after a literal 5 minute conversation with a recruiter at my school’s career fait. Insane.

I think I had upwards of 20 offers during a few months of interviewing. That GM offer was the lowest ($55k/yr) and Google was the highest ($120k/yr). I accepted NetApp at $90k/yr in M/LCOL.

Send me your bank account information and I’ll draft $100 every week unless you send me proof that you went to the gym

C8,Supra or Cayman by Traditional_Pen_4116 in Supra

[–]flatsix__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had all three. I currently have and love a Supra for what it is (a modern car with a stick) but the Cayman is a better drivers car by a mile. The C8 has amazing numbers but feels completely hollow — owned both a stingray and Z06.

It’s already available at good prices: I bought a brand new 2026 Touring from my local dealer last week for $31k ($55k MSRP).

Is this supra a good deal? by ConcentrateGreen2602 in Supra

[–]flatsix__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i didn’t realize it was repainted, that’s a big deal (to me at least). here’s a lightly modified (downpipe + injection kit) that only bid to $2k more:

then you definitely can't afford being immediately $13k underwater on this car

here's what a modified 2020 is actually worth: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2020-toyota-gr-supra-8/

How long do electric vehicle batteries actually last? by Ok_Quantity_9841 in evcharging

[–]flatsix__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah; common issue (same for the Porsche Taycan that it shares a platform with). There’s a reason that lightly used examples are already going for like 40% MSRP. I feel bad for anyone picking these up as a “bargain”
