    If Supes is doing it to stop some dickwad from destroying the Earth, enslaving humanity, or erasing the concept of pizzas, I’ll be yelling at him to do it again. Fuck the car, I can walk!

    On a related note:

    United States Department of Damage Control is a fictional construction company appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The company specializes in repairing the property damage caused by conflicts between superheroes and supervillains.[1] Three Damage Control limited series have been published.

    Also note that the initials of “Damage Control” are “D.C.

    This goes part of the way to explain why people are willing to continue to live in NYC despite it being regularly attacked by supervillains, aliens, demons, etc. Though, I still think Philadelphia, Newark, Allentown and New Haven would probably be experiencing a lot of growth, seeing as they appear to be close to NYC and yet safe from the NYC chaos and danger.

      Well, as of the last trailer there isn’t much of a difference between Superman and Homelander. Both are whiny, entitled assholes who believe that it’s unthinkable that anyone should question how they use their powers.

    I mean, depending on how much the value of the car has changed, you might get lucky. My last car got totaled by severe hail, I’d only paid maybe 30% of it off by that point, but it turned out the value of my vehicle went mostly unchanged, possibly even raised slightly, and insurance paid out the full value of the car. I actually came out ahead a couple thousand dollars, which I was able to then use for a down payment on my current car.

      Do people not just buy cars they can afford anymore? When I grew up I didn’t know anyone that was taking out a loan for a car.

          Unlike houses I am not sure if cars have increase as much though. You can even find a Nissan leaf dropping below £5k last I checked.
