(and like Rev. Peevler, there is no further response.)

You do realize this story isn't emails I sent, right? It says that in the headline... and the body... and before each email exchange.

Fun fact: Feresten was also a writer for the "Seinfeld" show. He wrote some classics, including the infamous Soup Nazi episode.

Usually if they text me and it's obviously a scam, I make an ad in the women seeking men section of Craigslist with their cell phone number and the text "send me pictures of yourself, clothes optional"

somebody give this guy a medal.

But there is no link between Alex and Mazda, so why even bother associating them? So again, you post fan fiction and associate it with a rumor you heard from a source at Disney. Why not just post that sources say to expect a new RX? by 2020. And then say "To tide you over here is a cool fan design I found that can…

Why, WHY must you share those beautiful rendering of a car that will never exist?!?

/shakes fist at screen

That design is awesome. Kudos to Alex. The rear 3/4 shot shows the back end to be a bit..."lost", design wise I think but the rest of the car (especially the front) is killer.

I think it would be awesome to see Mazda continue their work on rotary engines. More choices/options/engine tech can't be a bad thing...

I get your point in the article, but if I'm approaching a vehicle with the mindset of cost vs utility rather than market value then buying used costs me over time. If I'm dodging depreciation then I'm also dodging the least problematic service years. Someone buying used and driving it till major repairs is going to…

Anyone that uses the word "investment" when it comes to purchasing a car, I immediately write off as completely clueless.

I like how you guys are talking about having $20k and $40k and I'm just here like "Oh cool, I can afford gas today."

if "fiscal responsibility" was at the top of my list of priorities, I wouldn't buy a car at all. I'd move within walking distance of work and rent/borrow/zipcar if I needed to.

Over paying vs not buying? It's all about being responsible and managing the payment you can afford. Most people dont have $20K+ sitting around to purchase a new car with. But you can afford $350 per month over the useful life of the car. What's the alternative? Saving up? You still need to buy something and…

You eat depreciation costs every time you buy a car, new or used, cash or otherwise.

But while you're straight-saving for your $20,000 car you have no car. And money sitting in a savings account is decreasing in value thanks to inflation and today's shit interest rates. You might make it work if you're investing it, but that's another debate.

Whenever someone says cars arent a good investment I want to smack them in the head. No shit. That's why Im at a car dealer, not Charles Schwab. Guess what my 401k cant do? Get me to work, or the grocery store, or anywhere else for that matter. I cant autorcoss a savings account. Cant go for a Sunday morning…

Except that vehicles (new and used) are not investments, aside from classic cars. They are monthly costs labelled transportation in peoples budgets.

I don't disagree with the sentiment that buying a used car is, in many ways, more financially responsible than buying a new car.
