Not even a counterpoint. Just fact.

300ZX Twin-Turbo, but also convertible. (Yes, I know that doesn’t exist.)
Ended up with a 1992 Plymouth Voyager....

That looks absolutely miserable. 

I love how he landed that in a field with no power smoother than most American Airlines flights I’ve been on.

I see people watching videos (YouTube, Netflix, etc) every day on the interstate. Mutiple... every single day.
The department of transportation is doing a study on the corridor I travel each day due to a statistically significant number of accidents. Who knows- maybe that’s part of it. 

Wow, and I almost bought one a couple weeks ago after it had the recall repair. Glad I didn’t! 

Man I love reading your stuff, but that is atrocious. 

I’m more concerned about those absurdly narrow garage doors. Maybe the architect made the house specifically for a family a clowns?

Also, why do people put “My loss is your gain” so often? Surely it can’t be helpful. 

Well dang, you’re absolutely right. 

I guess they’re trying to get this in before the Ford Maverick comes out? Poor VW... won’t even be close to most affordable then.

2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. 451k miles and still going strong! Had to replace a few things and have transmission work (use to tow often) but good other than that!

Edit: I guess this counts, too-
2008 Mazda3 2.5L at 280k miles. Only engine component replaced: alternator

Yup. I’m not sure what your point is. 

That’s why I mentioned it?

The fact that $30k is less than the average new price truly astounds me. I struggle to understand how anyone could afford that much - the most I’ve ever spent is $15k out the door and that’s stretching it.

All that said, I teach in a low paying state, have several kids, and my wife has an illness that keeps her from…

Average starting pay in my state is $32k/year before taxes. I’ve been teaching for about a decade and still make less than $50k. That’s with a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ed.S. I can see it with your example though.

That said, teaching is NOT a 3/4 time job. 

How on Earth do two teachers have a budget of $30k?! I need to teach wherever they do, apparently. 

Dang, and the F-150 already sells well - I think they’ve got another hit on their hands.

Just wanna jump on the “Woo! Not a slideshow!” bandwagon. 

I don’t feel bad for her at all. 

Same. I really appreciate this article!
