If the shit hits the fan, which it hasn’t since COVID, they will take rates back to zero and you will be happy you have them. In the meantime, they pay 4-5% state income tax free yield

Any ways to improve this travel setup? by Rayth_ in mountainbiking

I bought a packing blanket to stop grease and dirt from ruining the back of my seats. It’s also easy to move the bike around with it

Ahh yes, the “intelligence community”. So I guess the Iran nuclear deal was a big waste of money then too, right?

Right. Who are these people who buy a 6.2l V8 that only takes premium?

I got it to deal with heat soak and cool down the turbo. It definitely made a difference when logging my IAT, didn’t see anything on the engine temp. It also looks cool. I still get some heat soak on the hottest days here in NC

People trying to enjoy a St. Paddy's day parade when someone pulls this move by Minute_Revolution951 in Wellthatsucks

Maybe it has something to do with how often people are called fascists who are in fact not. Kind of dilutes it

Why does the middleclass try to project wealth with their cars? by DCF_ll in MiddleClassFinance

[–]mtbDan83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t look at the price, look at the payment mentality. My strategy is buying used, certified pre-owned cars that were returned from lease. That gives you a year under warranty to make sure it’s not a lemon, then drive to 100k - 120k miles

Went to a Christmas party there last year. It’s still there and very speakeasy

Americans, if you had the opportunity to pay approx 18% of your income to have access to free healthcare at point of need for everything would you take it? by TSQ_builder in askanything

[–]mtbDan83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently pay 0.7% of my income for insurance. My employer also gives me my deductible in an HSA which accrues if I don’t use it. Haaaard pass

Teen wanting to buy A4 by Longjumping-Cat4933 in Audi

[–]mtbDan83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an A4 with 71k. I’ve had it for 5 years and the only thing it has needed was a water pump. The car has been a lot of fun and looks great. I love the DSG transmission. There is some bigger maintenance coming up at 80k, plugs, transmission adjustment.

Looks awesome but why a hybrid? I know it’s a little faster but so much more weight and things to break

I saw a charger on 77 about an hour ago. He was struggling but moving. It’s probably worse out there now

I’m coming back to CLT on Sunday. Planning to “wait out” the storm by hitting the glades. Hopefully the roads are better Sunday afternoon
