A woman i work with bought a Jeep Wrangler recently and was bemoaning interest rates. We got to talking about it thinking it’d be like 6% and she said she was lucky to get 13%

We got to talking about it thinking it’d be like 6% and she said she was lucky to get 13% I worked at a dealership for a long time and this is pretty common. People would want to come in and flex and buy a 3 series and pay like 80% of their min wage job on the payment cause they live at home and/or have no credit. Then we had customers on the other end of the spectrum who were here from Korea for school and would roll in and buy an M5 in cash or on dads black card The real sad ones are when some broke person would buy something like an x5 that had 140k miles at a buy here pay here lot and then bring it in for service and get pissed cause it needs like 12 grand in work

In which case you should probably be buying a much cheaper (used) car. 13% for a Jeep Wrangler would make me sick to the point that I couldn't sleep at night.

I remember it coming up a while back and prices were as bad as buying new I just looked at some cars and the used is still bad but not as bad as it was. A 2020 Forester with 22k miles was only 6 grand less than a brand new 2024 Forester. I think it was a slightly better trim than the new, but wasn't premium.

I should’ve got cx-50 when they had 0% financing but decided to drive my focus into the ground. I loathe car payments. Not as bad as a year ago, but still high af.

The best deal in car buying right now are all the EVs sitting on dealer lots that people don't want to buy. Problem is in the grand scheme of things they're not really "cheap" vehicles to begin with.

All in all it's a pretty nice car for the $18k I paid, but man the battery life in winter is definitely an issue. Knowing what I know now, I'd definitely have to get the increased battery range version.

He really wanted one but didn’t have the cash for one outright and at that point the car was probably like 12 years old so obviously the bank was probably like uhhh yeah sure I guess but you’re gonna pay for it

I’ve been talking about it for like two years, but I think this is the year I finally get an electric. My wife’s car is slowly dying. She doesn’t drive a ton, so I can do like 99% of the charging at home. Probably get a bolt or Ioniq.

Beyond that, it's the perfect car if you can charge at home and don't drive that far very often Does help that there was like a $3k refund for buying a used EV..

If you crash a 200,000 ton container ship into just about anything that isn't a mountain, that object is going to lose that collision.

Neil Armbong posted:they have steep discounts atm. i believe 35k off MSRP in some markets. It has to do with tension and how its distributed over time. By that I mean the tension of each suspension wire is altered dramatically and near instantaneously as the each one fails in turn. So you get a cascade effect. Someone with better physics needs to take over

I got a Tesla Model Y as a rental once, and man for a near $50k that interior is bland as gently caress. Tesla is just a front to make money with the valuation it's getting. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks and performs better and is nearly $10k less.

Ether Frenzy posted:If you crash a 200,000 ton container ship into just about anything that isn't a mountain, that object is going to lose that collision. Every bridge in the SF bay area would have survived. Because all of the ones that a deep draft ship like that one can get near, have berms around the pillar bases, made of many feet of steel and concrete, so the ship doesn't actually hit the bridge at all. The golden gate bridge was built in 1933, the Key bridge was built in 1972. There's not really any good excuse. Yes, ships in the 70s were generally a lot smaller than the one that hit it this week, but that's also true of the SF bay area. Yes, the SF bay area bridges are also built to withstand earthquakes, but the wide berms at the base aren't really earthquake protection features. Yes, the Key bridge is a lot longer, but that doesn't mean you can't build big feet on it. It's basically just nobody decided to implement a known effective safety feature that would cost a lot to put in. I may be wrong, maybe there's some arcane engineering reason why it'd be impossible, but I haven't seen anything like that yet. e. quote:Astaneh noted a collision has happened in the Bay Area. He studied the crash of the Cosco Busan container ship into the Bay Bridge in 2007. The ship sideswiped one of the Bay Bridge's support piers and caused a massive fuel spill. Like, yeah, I bet it could have helped. That's my bet. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Mar 28, 2024 |

From what I understand even that wouldn't have done it. The energy still gets transmitted. Those things help with small ships or a ship in full reverse going slow on impact, but nothing was going to prevent a ship that size and going that fast from bringing down a bridge.

Yeah, I saw the same. At least if we're talking about those Dolphin systems. The analysis I saw someone linked was about how a barge of that magnitude would just run most protective systems over.

The Cosco Busan was 68,000 DWT and 869 feet long, so it was a smaller ship for sure, but still ginormous. And "nothing" just isn't true: a ship like that gets stopped dead by running aground, and the berms are essentially that. It's a question of money. How much will it cost to create spans wide enough and sink foundation deep enough into the channel that you can build wide enough berms to handle a 200k ton ship direct impact at speed. It's some amount of money.
