No, it's a $0 down payment with $33k in finance charges over the life of the loan. The car itself is technically "only" $42k.

they also used to close certain blocks of Valencia to car traffic entirely. always loved to see what was happening in the street on those days. people would hold impromptu dinner parties and music performances that drew decent crowds. wonder if that'll ever happen now that we're putting a big ribbon of bad ideas straight down the middle of the road

i assume that you're talking about the sunday streets program. they don't do it as often as they used to but they're doing a sunday streets on valencia on july 30th, closing over a mile of the road to car traffic for 5 hours.

exactly, 41k was the sale price, but the APR added 31k to that. if they had a down payment it would have been subtracted from the 41k

you know the driver figured the truck just hit a rock or curb, at no point was that worker within view (which in literally no way absolves the driver, if anything it means they have a higher responsibility of not being negligent of their blindspots)

correct. they probably never saw the victim and never knew there had been a collision, because the car is built to make that kind of situational awareness impossible, and they were almost certainly looking in the direction of traffic (the opposite direction from the victim)

Speaking of the design of modern vehicles, I could swear that all of the speed bumps built here recently have been loving massive. My suspicion is that all of the monster SUVs and truks with big travel soft suspension could just sail over older speed bumps without slowing down and so the council is having to build them bigger and bigger to actually do their job. Kinda like the arms race happening with vehicle size and weight, wonder how long it will take before a 20 year old hatchback can't even get over them without bottoming out.

I've seen this in person, there's a residential street people use here to cut between highways and after some lady had her legs removed by a speeder they stuck speed bumps in. They were made bigger last year after truck drivers would just glide over them at 40mph (in a 25)

Good composition on this photo. I spy a similar capacity bed in the background attached to an overly large growth of a cab.

one thing I've been seeing a lot of lately is trucks that don't tow and never will tow being bought with the extended towing mirrors. Good poo poo, anything to make your truck even more obnoxious.
