Billy, I hate to nitpick, but I have a problem with the headline. The phrase "insane, masturbatory rampage" should be "insane masturbatory rampage." You shouldn't use a comma when the last adjective outranks its predecessor and is an integral part of the noun phrase. In this case, the rampage is not both insane…
I actually agree with LaHood on this point. The 2-second rule has a lot of data to back it up. When I read "Traffic" by Tom Vanderbuilt a few years back, that was one of the bits of info that just jumped right off the page and into a prominent spot in my noggin.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Same for me too, a '91 LE
Another story that wouldn’t have happened if the parents were responsible enough to have their car equipped with a manual transmission.
^^^This. Letting your money work for you is almost always better than just buying outright.
I don't have a problem with financing; to me it is worth a small interest payment in order to maintain the liquidity of more of your assets. My concerns are that people who would tend to take on such long-term debt are probably biting off more than they can chew and they are also likely to get themselves into further…
The last car we bought, we bought new and financed for a five year term. We had the cash available to buy it outright, and conventional wisdom is to buy used, but the rate of the loan was low enough and the price difference new vs. used that we saved quite a bit of money by leaving our cash invested. Just the dividend…
Excluding Kei cars? cause thats pretty much what this is going to turn into. Im going to get my vote in now for the Suzuki carry with tracks.
