Lexus. IMHO, Lexus is the smartest vehicle purchase (other than a Toyota) that you make. A Lexus LS and a Toyota Land Cruiser are the perfect pair of vehicles for someone to own. There will always be at least one of each in my garage. Of

I remember when I was a teen and saw "She's All That". The protagonist in the film drove a Defender. I fell in love with them and wanted one badly. Then I moved to the Caribbean a few months later and met people with them.

I wish you luck. I wouldn't buy the 2015 unless they've documented the timing service and give you a warranty. And don't park it outside. I'm not exaggerating when I say (I believe I've even shared this in a prev

I live ~90 minutes from Atlanta. Used 'luxury' autos would start showing up on used car lots around Atlanta as soon as their manufacturer's warranty expired. I had scores of customers who would test drives these vehicles (Us

I'm definitely biased because I own Land Cruisers, but it's wild watching people throw many away on an inferior product like the Defender. I think I'd rather have a Wrangler than a Defender and that says a whole lot.

Yes, but Apple generally produces a quality product that doesn't spend ~60% of its life in a repair shop.

I don't understand how Jaguar/Land Rover is still even a thing. This is unrelated to the hack, but they consistently make the most unreliable vehicles you can buy. When I had my import repair shop, I made a fortune repairing Jags

Yep. I used to be a building/remodeling contractor. If I accidentally showed up to the wrong address and demolished the wrong deck, I'd be responsible for making the property owner whole again. If a cop serves a warrant and the

I feel like that's true for most 'stuff', but there are a few exceptions where I will refuse to hire an individual based on things they've done with their personal lives.

It's just not as wholesome and Peppa is kind of a brat. And the whole picking on the dad thing kind of got old after a while. It just doesn't really offer any thing of any value to my child.

I quit Peppa Pig because it doesn't really teach anything and it actually (at least IMHO) shows poor behavior.

Bluey is by far the best children's show I've ever watched. My son and I love watching it together. It's so refreshing after having to watch Peppa Pig for a year or so before we discovered Bluey. I disliked Peppa Pig and I

I had the opposite experience with the P-10 F. Granted it's the only CZ pistol I own. But it's also the only modern pistol I own that was ready to go right out of the box without any kind of needed improvements or modifications.

Agreed. It seems that Sig really dropped the ball with the P320. My top 3 most used hand guns are the CZ P-10 F, the Sig P365, and the Sig P322. I honestly never thought I'd ever buy a modern handgun unless it was made by Sig. Until

I should have been more clear: if you're going to carry a firearm on your person, regardless of concealed or open, it should always have a round in the chamber.

That may be personal preference, but IMHO there’s no reason to conceal carry if you’re going to do it without a round chambered. I’m a huge Sig collector and I’ve been a fan of theirs since the 90s. I’ve carried a Sig daily for 20+ years. I

I imagine we could get a lot of issues resolved if public school teachers went on a nationwide strike for only a few days. Not even a complete week. The same could be said about back of house restaurant staff or caregivers like CNAs or day

That will only increase 'socialism'. If a business doesn't pay a living wage, that effectively means that said business is being subsidized by a different entity. It could be the employee, the employee's spouse, the gov
