Post Office rules. If you're in line, you get to ride.

I really hope I still live in Florida when this plate begins to hit the tax collectors offices. Even if it's literally the day before I leave, I will clear a few hours from my day to get this plate and rep it on the drive.

It's literally cheaper to buy a cheap beater car off craigslist when you arrive.

Between the extended warranty and not keeping the car long, you’ll be fine. It’s the next owner’s problem.

Ok. That’s a good situation. The issue with CVT’s is their longevity: they’re popular because they help with fuel economy and can help provide a smoother ride, at the price of long term reliability. Getting more than 100k miles out of one is extremely hard. An example is Subaru, who due to a...

The Chrysler derived powertrain is somewhat ancient, but that’s a good thing here. The bugs have been worked out, and they’re reliable. It’s the cars with fiat derived powertrains and electronics I would try to avoid.

Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD. I decided to throw caution to the wind (thanks apple card 6% march cashback + education discoubnt), and bought a 13" M1 MBP with 16gb/1tb yesterday. Photoshop runs rather quickly, AI/ID/XD not as quickly, but still workable.

That's the question. I tend to go through PC laptops every 2 years, but 5-10 years for my Macs. If you had to pick an M1 or an Intel Macbook Pro as a graphic designer, which would you take?

Contact a consumer protection or lemon law attorney in your state. Almost all will get this taken care of on contingency.
