indeed. places like Grand Cayman are utterly dependent on cruise ship excursions. i hope they haven’t forgotten how to catch fish.

bless your heart. i find happiness in many things, cars are just one of them. and yes, i can afford what i want and live how i want. that includes investing my savings. i don’t need your pity or your advice. you’re irrelevant to me.

thanks. but i think i’m going to wait for the next plague. they aren’t offering 0% on the C8.

I agree that someone living off of pennies shouldn’t buy a new corvette. 

It’s not a lot of dough for everyone, and not everyone’s priorities dictate a single vehicle.
