Build taking place this week, should have my 2 door Bronco in the next couple of weeks. Popped up in my Ford Pass app today ready to activate. Ordered it 18 months ago to be an extra vehicle to use at the lake/beach instead of a Jeep, looks like it is going to be the daily driver for a little while.
It doesnāt matter what Iām driving, I park out away from everyone. The easiest way there is not to worry about how everyone else parks, is to park as far away as possible.
No, there was nothing really compelling about the interview from the part I heard. She sidestepped most of his questions about the interesting parts of her life.
They still have a ways to go. Iām considering getting out of mine after 9 months and they are still offering more than I have in it on trade which seemed nuts with the declining used market.
The other thread is a great read. Very odd, but still worth the time.
We rarely file estate tax returns unless there is a taxable estate, one is required in a probate situation, or it is borderline taxable based on arguable valuation amounts. There is no requirement to file by the IRS unless taxable. However, you still need determinations of value to set inherited value without the estate tax return.
You donāt need an inheritance tax return. The life insurance goes to the sister the other is split based on the will technically, but most people would ignore it. There is no income tax impact to any of you based on the facts presented. You do have a gift tax issue technically between your sister and you two for the split of the insurance she signs over. 99% of people would ignore it and claim it was split according to the estate, technically she needs to file a gift tax return.
Yes, blew hubs on two, front axle on one, sheared the plastic gearing on one of them with the hub issue, etc. They had vacuum leak issues for several years that would randomly engage a hub and something was breaking when that happened at speed.
Wait, so now trucks are luxury goods? We have very different opinions of that term. I also donāt know that i would agree the average new truck buyer is āyoungā people unless we have a very different opinion on the term young. My back parking lot at the office has an eclectic mix of vehicles, there is only one newer model truck. Most staff people are in large/small SUVās, older trucks for the male interns, and a couple of cars.
Iām the opposite. I average 25k-30k miles a year, trade every two years, and the last 3 F150ās all had issues. Most were front end related as the 4wd system (which i actually use regularly) was problematic due to the plastic parts used now. The GMCās prior to that had trans issues. Up until the last 9 months, I towed a lot, drove a lot, and probably wasnāt the easiest on vehicles.
The other benefit to trucks is resale value. Iām out of mine every 2 years or so and have always come out great on buy/trade pricing. Hell, this F250 is going back in for $8k more than the purchase price if i trade it.
If something near the majority drives them, by default it canāt be a status symbol. Plus, there is nothing status like about most trucks. This whole train of thought is completely illogical for a sub $XXXXX vehicle or we have different ideas of status. Itās an SUV with a bed that gets used occasionally if anything. Hell spending $60k on a new F150 makes more sense than a large segment of vehicles on the road for someone looking to buy new.
Or they realized jeans were a better every day wear than whatever they were wearing prior. Again, that logic makes zero sense. Adaptation has more to do with usefulness than it does any cool factor. People wore Jordanās because they thought they were cool, Jordanās were worn by a small minority of people because there were better options available for every day wear at better price points. Trucks are no different price wise than a lot of other vehicles, so for $72k (much cheaper options available, but I like my Platinum) I can buy my F250 that does everything when I need it or an okay optioned Tahoe/Expedition/whatever that has similar interior space through the second row and more limited usefulness. Again, trucks arenāt cool, just functional at the price point.
How exactly does driving something that half the rest of the people drive equate to status symbol cool? If I was worried about status, there are way more vehicles out there that would get second looks at the red light over a truck. Also, simple solution for your second problem, trade your Tundra for any number of the smaller trucks that are now on the market. Problem solved.
Itās such a strange discussion worrying about what other people drive and their reasons for driving it. I agree the 2500ās have gotten too big which is why Iām getting out of it. However, I never sat in my F150ās thinking to myself boy I wish this thing was smaller. 2 kids, 2 dogs, a truck has basically been our open bed SUV for the last 17 years of having kids. Now, they do their own things so I may go a different direction and keep an old truck for truck duties.
This whole issue seems like a very simple thing to resolve. Depending on true level of hotness, Iām sure we can find someone that is willing to āhelpā out.
These threads are the best threads. Iāve had a truck for 29 years since turning 16 with most of that being 2 year old or less F150ās. Iām not going to drive a mini truck, anything it can do can be accomplished with a trailer. I haul boats, trailers, stuff in the bed, etc pretty often and never considered going away from trucks. However, while I was waiting 9 months for my F250 I currently drive I sold my boats, toys, etc and donāt have a need for it right now. They will give me more than I paid, so I think Iām going to trade it for my Bronco (18 month wait) and then start looking for an older F250 to use when I need one.
I will miss blinding slow drivers on the interstate in the left lane at night.
They got tremendous value, they are no longer getting tremendous value. At the point in time an extension kicks in, draft status no longer matters in the discussion. His cap hit is right around $50M each year the next two years, that is not continued value and also will further exacerbate the lack of talent around him which he canāt overcome and play his way around.
No, theyāre not. Buffaloās D has been decimated by injury and they have no ground game outside of Allen. Iāll take Allen/Diggs over Dak/CeeDee 100 times out of 100.
So many dumb takes in this thread.
They didnāt get gouged or brutalized. The defense did their job outside of Diggs dropping a sure fire INT that turned into 7 and a circus catch by Kittle extending a drive. This is 100% on the offense.
Turpin runs straight into the kicker on a potential TD.
Diggs drops an easy int that turns into 7.
Dak does Dak shit like always.
Schultz makes back to back dumbass plays costing them a chance at the end.
Wilson lets Kittle bulldoze him on a play that would have set up a long FG.
Easily could keep going and going and going. Team is dumb, coaches are dumb, bunch of stupid plays ending with a stupid play call.
20,21 and 41 is one more than 2x21. It makes zero sense to write it out that way but technically you could argue the facts are correct because it just says one number not one of the variable. It is just not solvable in the way it is written as there would be too many variables. Teacher is dumb.
Agreed, although it depends on what is selling. Ultimately, in a sale situation or a partner situation the NC should be honored and not subject to a 25% ownership base. If the goal is to protect employees, then protect them with the elimination of the employee/employer component.
Engineering firm, insurance companies, accounting firms with the new PE interest, the list could easily be long and includes anything with a personal service component. Iām looking at PE deals, have 27 partners, and am locked into a 5 year NC if I take PE money. Those valuations may change substantially if the NC goes away and I can walk post sale and just operate under a non solicitation agreement.
