Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
I was proud of one of my adjusters yesterday--I wouldn't have been as nice:
Insured: "We didn't even know it was a complaint."
Adjuster: "The first sentence of the letter you received says 'a complaint has been filed against you...'"

Someone put a lot of effort into it but the Ferarri sticker ruins it.
With high rise dual quads on it, the engine is definitely not from a Ferarri.

@graphicguy - does this belong to you?
Can't think of anything I need. Food is stocked up. Brought in some dried logs from the back yard for the fireplace. Made a TP run to Costco last week, so all good there.
Won't get above freezing this week. So, given I need nothing, guess I'll stay indoors for a bit.
Re: Can you review this Rebuilt 2019 Acura ILX Premium w/Tech please?
I could find better things to do with $11,000 like light it on fire, give it to Bernie Madoff to invest, or pay an overwhelming majority of my yearly property taxes. In all seriousness, people have done well with rebuilt title cars. Since you say "I'm not a car or speed person I just want a little comfort and a lot of longevity out of it," I'd take the $11K, plus what it is going to cost you to get this car fixed properly and buy something with a clean (not washed) title.

Gamers can be weird outliers. The other day I watched a YT video about a fellow who is really into older-tech games of the '80s and '90s who discovered and tracked down what is perhaps the only existing 43" Sony Trinitron tube set from the late '80s. The thing weighs something like 440 lbs and is unsurprisingly huge. Sony made only a few and when new it reportedly cost $40K. He discovered it in Osaka and with connections he created had it shipped to him at huge expense and effort. It still worked, with some issues, and he set it up in his parents garage to play what I would consider Atari-quality games (that is something I know nothing about, but they were very crude-looking)."he set it up in his parents garage" probably tells you most of what you want to know about him.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
@oldfarmer50,I have one Europac fund that did well in 2024 but it is still down from my initial investment from several years ago. I also bought Lucent at about $20 only to see it go down to 50 cents or something. That’s when I stopped trying to pick individual stocks.
Funds were not losers in 2024 but still haven't technically broken even with the price paid per share with reinvested dividends and capital gains.
Bought the funds starting in 2021.
The only investment strategy that I’ve learned is that when the gurus say something is an incredible buy….run.

Then there was the Combat Wombat- I love Hodakas.@bhill2 said:
When I started college and was still living at home, I drove a VERY handed down 60 Falcon with the mighty two-speed Fordomatic. There was another student that lived near me, and would grab a ride when it snowed (not that often, it was Seattle) because his Corvette was undrivable in snow. One morning he mourned "I have a cherry Corvette, and here I am riding to school in your Super Wombat". I didn't take offense, and the Falcon had a new name.Some Wombats are fun!
