Plenty of audis have been rolling around with near 800lb/ft of torque on their baby 4liter turbo v8 and launched mercilessly to mid 10 second passes with only a tune. I'm not aware of one failure of the transmission or awd system. It can be done. It's just a matter of dodge sucking.

"Hey, we know we sold you a piece of shit that doesn't come close to passing emissions. We knowingly deceived people. eventually we were caught and are being fined out the ass. We are being forced to buy back cars no questions asked. BUT..... don't you dare take parts off the piece of shit you've been flogging the environment with since you bought the car". Thanks Vw

VW's fault on multiple levels for not anticipating this type of backlash from pissed off customers. they were clever enough to build a car that can literally trick everyone into thinking its environmentally friendly, and cheat on emissions tests, but can't envision cleverness on the customer's part? tough shit. if anything, they should buy back all cars this week, no questions asked, and then send out an announcement addressing customers taking parts off

i considered buying a house in florida for the year i was there---in 2008. the house we rented for a year was for sale at $320k. at the end of the year, no shit, those houses cost $240k. what a crazy mcsteak that would have been. i lived in hilliard for 5 years, in a house i paid $134k for. my late grandfather gave me $15k to put down on the house and i did NUMEROUS upgrades---tile, redid the kitchen, bathrooms, and finished the basement--all my own labor. i sold the house to my brother for $125k---without a realtor. he lived in it for 5 years and sold it for a slight loss when he went on to fellowship in 2013. he was pissed---how could he be? it was just the 'unluck' of the market. renting gets rid of that risk/anxiety/etc. invest your money elsewhere and not be tied down to a house unless you know you're going to be there for 10 years. most people in their 20's have no fucking idea that they are going to be in one location for 3-4 years, let alone 10. when you rent, you can get up and move at any time, and not worry about a thing. there is some value to that. again, just food for thought.

i consider anything i own that is worth more than i owe by a margin of 20% to be an asset. people can view things differently, but that is how i see it. that is why i will always put 20% or more down on a car/house/etc. i understand your argument, and i don't think its wrong to look at things that way. you see the guy who has a $200k house, and has $100k equity, $100k mortgage as just breaking even at best. the reality is that if he dies tomorrow, his family can unload the house immediately for $200k-20%, and pay off his mortgage, and have $60k liquid cash. he sees it as a physical asset that has tangible value, against which he can borrow money, and eventually sell at some point for a profit---most would consider that an asset. when you drive a car off the lot, most would tell you that the car is immediately worth 20% less. if you put 20% down on the car and have to sell it in a hurry, you've broken even and the car is neither an asset or liability. because you use it for transportation, gas/maintenance/insurance don't necessarily make it a liability because seemingly you couldn't function without it. the same reason your clothes aren't a liability because of the detergent you spend money on to wash them, or your body is a liability because you have to spend money to feed it. i'm not trying to give the op a lesson in economics. there are advantages to renting and simply not taking the risk of owning property

i'm going to go against the grain and tell you NOT to buy a house, unless you're ready to make a 10+ year commitment. what could go right:::: the housing market does well, and you make 5% profit on your house after you subtract realtor fees, taxes, repairs, etc. what could go wrong::::: you sell the house after a couple years because-----relocation for work, find another house in a different location that you prefer, get married, kids, and need a bigger house, realize you hate your neighborhood/location, need to upsize, need to downsize the housing market stays the same or does worse---you lose money. remember if the house sells for the exact amount that you paid for it, then you lose money. realtor fees, and repairs will FAR outweigh any equity that you've built up during such a short ownership put a roof on the house?? new furnace?? A/C?? appliances?? yes, these are all things that you will lose money on, since the next buyer gets to keep them, assumes that the house will have them already, and they DON'T add true value to a house. the new owner thanks you for the new roof, but won't pay extra for it. again, this offsets any potential equity that you've built up. maintenance---this costs money. no one buys a new lawnmower, snowblower, weedeater, or anything for that matter, to upkeep their apartment/condo. not to mention this takes time, and time is money to some people. if you aren't interested in taking the time to manicure your yard to match the neighbors, then home living may not be for you. upgrades---i can guarantee everyone posting in this thread (myself included) has put some serious upgrades on their house. you don't typically see the return on these. it will increase the worth of your house, but not by the same amount you've paid. in other words, when i spent nearly six figures to gut my kitchen and upgrade the fuck out of everything imagineable, it did not increase the worth of my house by anywhere near that figure. again, this is money lost. nothing parties like a rental. if something breaks in your apartment, you likely don't really give a shit. you don't have to worry about taxes, upkeep, homeowners insurance, if you have to call the plumber for an emergency fix, you simply don't give a shit. home-ownership is not the investment it was 30 years ago, no matter what anyone here will say. i'm just as guilty as the next, owning a big house that i will never get out of it, what i put into it. i enjoy the hell out of it though---but it is NOT an investment. few are.

The irony of your screenname is literally killing me right now.

What's going on here?? I have no problem with owners stripping the shit out of these cars and selling the parts. Owners had no idea their cars would be deemed irreversibly fucked. Having owned a car that had to be lemoned out within 1000 miles of owning it, combined with the knowledge vag completely tried to pull the wool over everyone---I don't see an issue with this. The number of people who will take the time and effort to strip their car of parts is minimal. Think of the average fag who owns this car. They won't take the effort to do this.

he would be dumb to do that. NFL coaching is totally different from college. for every pete carroll, there are tons of chip kelly's

I didn't realize they made phones other than iPhones these days? And I typically hate apple products

Never!! Had an ex that qualified for kona. No thanks. I would definitely go to watch. I haven't even done a half IM. Hate the swim

Pumped up to go to Maui in January. I did the big island last year and enjoyed the tour of the brewery on the big island. Make sure to do a traditional luau. This is my year to learn how to surf. Expect shit to be expensive, but so what. Enjoy the seafood. Tuna there is amazing

yeah, they seem like slouches

That's a pretty fucking amazing story, broheimen. I'll file that away somewhere behind the memory of this massive shit I took last week. Who the fuck is cooper Bateman again??? Nah, never mind.

No one wants to see psu or Wisconsin in the playoffs. The committee knows this which is why osu is in. Plain and simple.

Good lord. You're even terrible at trolling. Kill yourself.

Where's the dancing fairy??? Great game. Offense woke up late. Peppers is honestly overrated. Everyone suckles his nuts. His wildcat plays were great for osu. So predictable. I want penn state to win and Wisconsin to lose. Wisconsin beats penn state and osu is an absolute lock. No chance for a second big ten team

You must be nervous about the bama game or something.

Like I said, don't lie (look at bullshit internet site for canned answers to commonly asked interview questions).

Khakis Collared shirt, with a tie Clean dress shoes Clean shave Hair cut Nothing more than a regular watch Lose all bullshit earings, or any other shit attached to your body, that you weren't born with Make eye contact, be prepared to talk about your strengths and weaknesses Don't lie

double, because I'm all the way up in Wisconsin and I need to be heard

Yep. No worries. Michigan looking like shit. Just need to win out. Honestly, if msu plays this way next week, they will beat penn state. It's just that simple

no they don't. it is weighted, but this year, in particular, there are two VERY weak conferences. the big ten is the strongest conference this year, correct?? and you've already said if Wisconsin wins out, you're guaranteeing they won't let a two loss big ten champ in the playoffs, yes?? see how you contradict yourself. if Wisconsin wins out, and so does OSU, both will go.

A two loss Wisconsin team will have played multiple top 10 teams in lsu, msu at the time, osu, Nebraska, Michigan, penn state. No way choklahoma has a stronger schedule and they are a much weaker conference. Love how you talk out of both sides of your mouth. First, you say conference champ trumps all other criteria because you don't want osu to be in. Then you say no way a two loss conference champ in the strongest conference can make it because you don't want Wisconsin to make it. If Wisconsin wins out, they will go no matter what.

Lest us forget money talks. Osu wins out, they're in. Period
