I would avoid salvage titles in almost every situation. You don't know why it was a write-off, you don't know who rebuilt it, and you don't know what kind of job they did.

If you're already into turning wrenches, and it's a "special" car, maybe. If you are buying it from the person or company that did the reconditioning, maybe. But most of the time, the write-offs go to auction, somebody buys them, rebuilds them, sends them right back to auction. Then your local fly-by-night used car lot buys them and sells to unknowing retail customers.

Speaking of that, be prepared for a whole lot of cheap used cars to hit the market in six to twelve months. These will be flood cars, and Carfax may not tell you that. It can definitely be worth it to pay for a title search service that allows you to plug in a VIN and then returns everything that's ever been attached to that vehicle's title.

You do not want to buy a flood car.

Real news media doesn't make controversial statements about individuals unless they have proof. I am quite certain that before this story went to press, there were serious internal discussions at CNN about not only its validity, but about CNN's ability to demonstrate that validity in court.

That's what was playing when our wedding party came into the wedding reception, and then Throne Room when we came in.

In case you're wondering, this appears to be a custom pillow.

Trump opted to have more music played, rather than take more questions at the event, as he danced to songs including the Village People's "YMCA" and swayed along to Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U," Rufus Wainwright's version of "Hallelujah" and Guns N' Roses' "November Rain."

So, I know GnR has already told him not to play their music. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say The Village People and Sinead O'Connor would feel exactly the same way. I can't speak for Rufus Wainwright.

I feel like making armed threats against workers for the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be a federal crime.

And it seems like this was a bunch of people "hunting FEMA," but only one got arrested?

Which one is the frying pan, and which one is the fire?

 

Hot take: The song Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves is about a woman who has a delusion about someone who wants nothing to do with her. #music
