Why doesn't the transporter bring the car to your house? I had a car delivered from Southern California to Oregon and the transporter dropped it off at the end of my driveway in our residential street. What am I missing here? The vast majority of drivers will punish your car because they...

This is a perfect reason not to buy a BMW.

I have not heard of a dealer doing this. I wouldn't let anybody drive my car 60 miles. You know they will abuse it and it is likely the computer can record this abuse for denying warranty claims later. Go to the dealer and pick up the car.

I agree with what you are saying. You are not saying that poor people have it easier. Managing assets is time consuming and is stressful and I for one wish my life was simpler. However, one of the reasons I have to spend so much time on my assets is not only for my wife and I, but for my...

Buying a car is not a bad financial decision. Financing a car at exorbitant rates is a bad financial decision in most cases. In the cars that we bought this year, we paid 4% on the car loan and kept the money in our checking account earning a whopping 6% interest. Even after taxes, we are...

I too had 2 meniscus tears and PT was the saving grace. 9 months to recover from the first tear in the left knee and only 5 months to recover on the right one. The difference was that I started PT the day after my tear in the right knee. Also, I was at the chiropractor twice in the first week...

I also love the M2, E46 and ZHP. I have had them all, but the Blackwing is still my favorite. I could really throw the E46 around and it loved to be driven fast and it was easy to drive fast except when I took the traction control off in the rain. Boy did that car fishtail and it...

I can't even imagine having to look your kids in their faces and saying that's all the food we have and watching them go to bed hungry. It's a tough road being poor. If the schools would require a finance class for all students, then some if not a lot of the poverty could be prevented. It is...

I also had an opportunity to buy a 1M because of a previous buyer cancelling his order. But unfortunately, I was having knee problems and a clutch just would not work. I love the looks of that car. The orange was a fantastic color.

Actually managing your assets does take a lot of time, but I would rather manage what I have as compared to being poor. We all should be grateful that we are able to own these fine machines.

I wonder if the insurance companies give a you a very low first year rate and then jack up the prices in the next few years. That wouldn't support any customer loyalty.

Me too. I switched from State Farm to USAA recently.

My insurance rates went up over 50% in the last 2 years. I dropped them like a hot potato. I have no changes in my policy and no changes in my driving record except that we are aging like everyone else.

If the Audi was tuned, it could be producing 600+ horsepower and with all wheel drive, it is possible the Audi would beat the Caddie. There is no way that an untuned S6 could be the Caddie. I have driven a few S6s and they aren't that fast. An RS5 is quicker and would give the Caddie a run...

Too expensive.

There is no comparison between these two cars. The Audi doesn't steer or handle well. The repairs on the Audi will make you cry. The Audi does have a great interior and quattro is very good but a Subaru is better in the rain and snow. I have owned a lot of Audis and all of mine had minor and...

I have had a lot of performance sports cars and this is the only car that I have had problems with the brakes. I had vibration issues my ATS-V. The Brembo pads are likely the problem. The other factor is the rotors of course. The replacement rotors on German cars are made in Europe and are...

For the future, after washing the car, drive the car immediately for a few miles and then when storing the vehicle for a week or longer, don't use the parking brake. Of course, put a 2x4 behind the rear wheels assuming the garage drains toward the door and you are parking the nose inward.

Would you go into more detail about the brakes seizing up on the C8. My Blackwing's brakes also seized up when it was parked in the garage for 5 days. The temperature in the garage was above freezing.

It already has a negative effect. I remember the dealers who greatly marked up their cars and I won't do business with them. I have a long memory and I support dealers who are fair and I like being loyal to them. I won't be buying from the dealers in the Seattle area and one of the reasons...
