The Swamp

You can always get f'd buying any car, anywhere. Oh for sure. I just meant vis-a-vis the Carmax model or typical upselling tactics. So you'll have to lie about having options. I do have other options, so no lying needed. This particular one is just the best one that has popped up in the last ~4 mon...

I would travel for a CarMax deal, other than that... I guess I'm not seeing how i can get f'd going to a BMW dealership to buy a used Toyota truck. Like, they can't upsell me on an M61i or whatever, or even try to sell me on a different truck, since I can already see their inventory. And also, I re...

Sure, but also don't want to travel 400 miles without some kind of arrangement in place, lest it get sold before I get there.

Take note that I haven't bought a car in 20+ years... Is haggling still a thing? Considering that I'll be purchasing a ~$35k vehicle with cash (no kids, suckas), what's a reasonable figure to try to bargain down to? (Also the specific one I'm looking at has a 'Good' deal rating already*.) I will hav...

A friend and I were talking the other day about how it would be nice if there was a 'quota' you could reach in your life of unintentionally-heard musical artists, and once reached you'd never have to hear them again. Seger is the poster child for that movement for me. Not totally unpleasant, just bl...

Entertaining myself thinking of the exact moment when Snyder came to the realization. Like was he watching the movie and expecting the pivot to happen at any time and then got all the way to the credits and was like WTF? Or did he realize it earlier and just fumed throughout it? Fun stuff!

Pavement is a total blind spot for me. Should probably fix that given how often I hear their name dropped.

Yeah I gotta pay 2.6% on card transactions. I eat a few grand a year subsequently (and that doesn't include Etsy sales whose total fees come to around 10%/sale). So yeah, if you want to support small biz then pay with cash/check.

I think it's a fantastic idea. Biden sounds like Einstein when compared to Trump trying to answer an actual question. Hillary even more so, but he gained at the debates against Hillary. Because it's such a farce. It has zero to do with policy or ideas, and of course it will be presented to us like ...

Thanks GK and Dsafe, adding both of those sites to my search rotation. But, back on point, there are multiple reports online that Carvana charges significantly higher prices than many other outlets. This is my conclusion after watching prices for a couple months. I'm expecting to travel to purchase,...

Been looking at Autotrader and Carmax, and occasionally Carvana (seems unlikely I'd use it though). Am I missing any other big listing sites?

Possible one of the 20ish cities named Buffalo might creep toward ‘amazing’?

Aways thought the franchise was a little too goofy, although the OG had enough charm / cultural cache to get by (and some good quotes!). May give the new ones a whirl when I need something mindless.

If it had tracking it had a printed label and if it had a printed label it would have a USPS- validated address and thus would not be ‘illegible’ at all. Also, it all likely gets sorted via barcode and the only person who would ever read the printed address is the last guy in the chain dropping it o...
