Pit Bulls are so cuddly!!! Breed more of them.

Don't be fooled. He's plotting with the cats to eat you both! The golden? πππππ -
You sure are! π Geesh... Can't parents buy their kid a nice ride presented with a big azz bow on it! If they got it, spend it... More power to them. Everybody drives, you don't have to be a Puritan... Why begrudge them! People spend their money on all kinds of crap, why so judgemental? That 4 Runner probably cost more than a BMW back in day.

For the complainers like @Augie... π We're almost evenly divided on a very controversial issue: https://finmasters.com/should-parents-buy-their-child-a-car/ If they can afford it... Sure why not buy your kid a car! More power to them. Give your kid a head start, leg up! Sets them up for long term success. "Pros of Buying Your Child a Car Your child will be able to come up with a million reasons why you should get them a car, probably starting with the fact that their friend got one. But in reality, there are two main reasons to buy them a car instead of letting them do it themselves. First, itβs a chance for you to give your child a financial head start and set them up for long-term success. When you cover the cost of the vehicle, theyβll typically be able to: Avoid taking on an expensive auto loan. Hold onto any cash savings theyβve set aside. Get a car sooner than they could on their own. Second, buying a car for your child means you have direct control over what they drive. You can choose a vehicle thatβs safe, reliable, and economical. Left to their own devices, a teenager might buy something they think looks cool and exclude more important considerations." Lots of cool & safe luxury rides! π

Seems that you are complaining about them. Again, them not buying their kids a car isn't some teaching lesson. LoL... Where did you ever get that notion. Like buying their kids a pair of shoes. I got no problem with it.

Nobody is complaining. It's 2024. Rich folk buying their kid a car is chump change. No lessons are being taught. People drive. It doesn't have to be stratified.
-
No doubt... Has nothing to do with a vehicle. What lesson? That he had $40k in 2014 and still hung on to hung on to vehicle? Amazing story bro! More people should learn that lesson! Not knocking... It's all where people choose to put their resources... If someone is coming up with BMWs for their 16 year old... It's probably chump change to them. God.. I'd hate to see the horrible living conditions. π
-
Probably $40k. π Investment banker humblebrag... π Vehicles are funny, because they are on full display. Too bad we couldn't drive around in our houses, you'd see how opulent people really are.

Stolen working class valor!!! A 4 Runner can cost up to $60k... How much house is he living in?π

Are The Bears Wrecking Caleb Williams?
ExiledInIllinois replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in The Stadium Wall
Caleb has a higher completion % than Jim had during his SB season.ππ€£ 6 less INTs too. -
Diesel or petrol? 400,000 miles is impressive for a gas vehicle. My mother inlaw's 2018 Honda HR-V had 9,000 miles on it. She didn't use it anymore and moved. They gave her $18,000 cash at the dealer in September. Carvana was quoting close to $19k... But didn't want the hassle.

Nagy is O coordinator in KC!ππ€£ -
Only 75,000 miles in 10 years. Anything will run going 7,500/ year. π That's 600 miles a month. The car sits more than it runs.

How many miles on it?

Did it include the video game seizure warning?

Old Toyotas do tend to engine oil sludge... But then again, Mr.Toyota will just blame it on driver error like the floor mats.ππ€£ Ever notice the floor mat tack down systems nowadays and the better throttle by wire system designs? Me thinks it was NOT solely driver error.π

2006 Jeep TJ, one owner: Me 2018 BMW 320ix (the cheap one, but it gets close to 35 mpg on the highway and I can get to BFLo 525 miles away on one very tippy, toppy filled 15 gallons of fuel if I don't drive like a BMW prick lol) 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD OffRoad The best one. The Jeep by far. Like me, last of the dinosaurs with modern ignition, fuel injection, and crank windows... Just don't lock yourself in it or you'll be using the key through the driver's window to unlock it from outside or if it's flipped, kick the front window out or rip the top off. π Always have a plan. π...

Boy that was quick. Hey blue collar guys... You get what you get and don't have a fit. You'll land on your non-union feet.

Funny thing is... Bills lost to the Fins @ the Orange Bowl in 1972, 23-24. That's probably OT today with 2pt. conversion... May have been a loss or tie... Close games while leading were easier to win back then. And luckiest. Better to be lucky than good. Mahomes has more called back, overturned INTs than Brady had during his whole career.

WOW! They build them tough up there in The Great White North! Nobody is RUSHing to Chad's aid. Damar had 3 defibs, a nurse making her way down the steps from the 500 section, AND Stefon had already caught an Uber to the hospital before anyone attended to poor Chad trying to keep his leg together. Chad's coach looked visibly annoyed, kinda like my father having to RUSH me off to the ER for stitches when I almost cut my finger off when I was a kid... "You want me to get the car AND drive where?" "Ah, yeah Dad, the hospital 3 miles away."π /smdh 3 months later, they still don't.π

Wings Saturday night before Chiefs game ???
ExiledInIllinois replied to Richmond_Bills's topic in Off the Wall
Kaisertown is north of BFLo River... Close, but I wouldn't consider it SouthSide. More EastSide (to me)... Even know lumped in w/South BFLo. Germans closer to East Side Polish than SouthSide Irish... lol ...Yet, Kaisertown it's own distinct neighborhood IMO... But if you gotta put it on a directional axis... I'd say East Buffalo... Since BFLo River/Creek and below is hard define south... Everything north more East Side. Cayuga Creek through the east. Oh... Then again there's that silly thing of Germans closer to Polish, yet... Don't think they wanna be lumped it with the Irish on SouthSide either.π Let's just call Kaisertown it's own private little Idaho!π Homemade salads are phenomenal... AND they use GRAVY for the beef on weck! cc: @Gugny @Mike in Horseheads Germans/Polish gotta fatten you up somehow! -

Your local pizza joint, order by phone/internet and eat them at the curb. Fo-get about the popular joints if you can't wait super long.π -
