Marketing to existing/previous customers is generally much cheaper than creating new ones. The cost of marketing to customers who will never buy is factored in, but you would be surprised how many people will drop off the map for years until they need something. At that point there is a decent chance they will deal…

I cried. Like, so hard.

So, what is the cheapest stock car I can safely go 200mph in?

I find this interesting as I am a newly (nine months, but didn't date until my head was on straight) single man. I am discovering that alternative gratification allows me to focus on what I want, a smart partner to share experiences and build memories with, rather than doing what my friends are doing: getting laid.

That is a Mustang with ugly body panels. I don't care if they stick a De Tomaso badge on it. Blech!

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

Amazing explanation! I think this is how my brain usually handles it. January is so close, despite being in the next calendar year, that I didn't process it the same way.

Like you, I figure being next year makes it correct. I still had to read it a couple of times and wouldn't have been certain except they would only show a 2015 model this January.

Sure, I understand the definition of "next." For example, "next month" is used that way. Also, January is "next year."

Tomorrow isn't next Thursday. The next Thursday we will experience is THIS Thursday.

NEXT January, or THIS January?

Yes, 5000 trouble-free miles should be expected from any car.

I sold my 996 around 18 months ago. Never had any problems. Wonderful car. Should have kept it. Looking for another Porsche now.

I had two EMTs want to race in their ambulance. They were kidding of course, but they are the only guys I dropped the hammer for when the light turned green. Normally I make noise and then leave the line along with traffic and let the other guy take off. And then I laugh.

I haven't watched the video yet, but two interesting facts:

I bought a BMW from the late 90s (e36 M3) recently and was surprised it has a light on the dash which tells you to look at a screen in the center column...which tells you the problem. So far my car has told me about low coolant and a brake light fail. I replaced a leaking heater valve and a bulb. Easy peasy.

Fuel economy? Mine gets 8mpg.

Those aren't companies, they are brands. Polo Ralph Lauren is the flagship brand of the company.

Especially since I don't need to sell anything to go on vacation. She hated anything that she thought was a status symbol, so it went much deeper.

No, it has been well taken care of. I bought it from a friend who was the original owner. It had been sitting for a while, though. I am trying to remember everything it needed.
