Texas seems to really enjoy a mass shooting.

If Quinn stays healthy, he’ll catch 70+ balls. And that’s a fantasy alert, guys.

Amazing.

Asheville, Raleigh, Wilmington, etc. Beautiful state.

He was such a nice boy. I wonder where it went sideways for him?

I’ve got a joint on Singer Island. We’re just now getting back to normal from Irma. Every update brings it closer to us but as long as we stay in the southern quadrants, we should be kinda OK...I hope.

As usual, Steve is right.

Those General Insurance commercials must be a whole lot deeper than I’m seeing.

Let it rain.

Where’s that soft gif?!?

That’s how cults work. The cult leader always has to keep upping the ante. His followers are forced to defend it and thereby move further and further away from reality, from friends, from family. They isolate themselves. Works like a charm...

Hard times for Jax/Savannah.

Im fine with not shooting unarmed suspects. I hope black folks get extended that privilege.

You will never see a better example of white privilege than this footage of a naked, triple homicide suspect running straight at an armed police officer and the officer absolutely refusing to respond with force. It boggles the mind. NSFW, obv.

Dont jinx it, bro.

Poor FunkedUp’s heart must be broken right now.

Dwight Howard is a Laker.

You won’t see a better bunt.

All black for a day game?

You’ll enjoy this, @tshile. It’s a good quick read. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jan/22/barack-obama/obama-says-automakers-have-paid-back-all-loans-it-/

Whoops! Make that “low aprs”.

Rebates are more of a model-to-model basis type of deal and it’s not at all unusual for a factory to juice it up for the last 10 days of the month. ”Dealer Money” would generally refer to quarterly sales volume bonuses and advertising assistance related to dealers meeting objectives during the vehicle ordering phases.

Sure. Credit has been pretty loose for a couple years now (high aprs, high LTV %, long terms), but has just recently started to contract...banks are nervy and bloated with “bad paper”. Also, inventories are old, factories are slashing dealer money and staffing/pay plans are trending down. To be fair, I’m mostly at Mazda and Hyundai and both brands are having self-inflicted struggles for reasons outside of the overall health of the US economy. A few brands are doing quite well at the moment. But...the trend is real. Most of us are a little nervous

I’m not big on Chicken Little stuff and I’m no economist...BUT, as a car dealer guy, I can say that 2019 looks a lot like 2007 to me. And I have made preparations, both for the business and on a personal level.
