I think age plays a factor as well. The older you get, the less you want and the less you want frivolous things. At least that's the way it's working out for me. I'm spending more on big ticket items like house and car and less on dumb stuff like games, movies, clothes, food etc....

Been to DragonMeade and loved it. Also, coming from another large metro-area city. People who do not live in Detroit don't care if it's Warren or Detroit. With the close proximity, it's all Detroit to them. Pretty much anything East of Ann Arbor and West of Windsor it Detroit to them.

I don't think Mitsu is long for the US market in general. I'm betting they'll soon go the way of the Isuzu and Suzuki

Maybe when the price drops to $150 or less but until then I'll pass./

How do we know what we're comparing though? I can get a loaf of cheap store-brand bread for $1 or I can get some whole foods artesian shit for $10. I can get a 22 of Steel Reserve for $1 or I can get a craft beer for $10. I can get generic store brand milk by the gallon for $2.50 or I can get whole foods organic shit…

Great? I disagree sir. That was very bad.

Really? They look so tiny. Even though they're affordable they're still a bit rare. I'll have a look on Autotrader and see if there's one in my area.

Exactly what my dad did. Him and his buddies formed a company in which they were all owner-operators contracting through Navistar.

Really? I see an awful lot of people my height (usually they weigh a lot more too).

I haven't tried but would love to. Those things are rare birds around here. People keep them in their garages.

I could probably go as high as 30K but I'd rather keep it around 25K as that would make payments around $450

I'm 4 inches taller than you. I wish the Boxster was more affordable as I've driven one and they're quite roomy for being about the same size as a Miata. As it is I'll probably get a C5 Corvette, a 370Z or a G37 coupe.

Yep, that's exactly what we should do when dropping $20K+ on a new car.

$38K is nothing. My dad co-owned a company and was a truck driver in the 80s and early 90s. In the early 90s he was making between $175-$300K. Granted, his truck cost $100K, tires were several hundred dollars a pop, an oil change was couple hundred bucks and 300 gallons of fuel was over $300. Still, it's a tough job…

and I'm still too tall to drive it :-(

I didn't see it on the chart but there's also a recall on 2012-2013 Chevrolet Sonics for the suspension bushings cracking and wearing out prematurely. They'll put new bushings in and tighten down the suspension. If you're hearing a rattling sound coming from either the front or the trunk area of your vehicle then that…

Was talking about the ZR-1 and Z06 packages. Should've clarified.

I think the majority of the parts still come from Japan, it's just assembled here.

You are correct sir, I completely forgot about Fiat buying Chrysler.

Whatever......... to most people a Vette is a Vette and they don't consider their SS Cobalts or HHRs to be a completely different car than the standard or LS1 and LS2 models.
