I’m really not a small displacement high revving guy, but I clicked play (and anticipated on smashing that like button!!!) to listen to some engine screaming their hearts out and was left with a guy talking about specs on a list they came up with.

Auto sales has no place for you and your math skills. :D

If you amortize the amount due at signing over the 24 month term, plus the taxes (7% of new car value here in GA), this is a $550/mo lease. $0.66 per mile, plus gas and insurance. Not a very good deal.

I had a managerial situation once where a malcontent undermined my best team member’s work and just generally acted like it was a competition and not people with a common goal.

“The notion that people who buy used cars are financial worse off than those who buy new ones is probably fair enough, but to say that used car buyers will maintain their cars significantly worse than those who bought the 20-year-old car new is also just an assumption, and is highly dependent upon the individuals.”

When items like bar soap or sunscreen or whatever go on a BOGO sale, I use a Sharpie to write 1/2 & 2/2 on them, so when 1/2 gets to the end, I know there’s a 2/2 still sitting in the closet. When I get to the end of 2/2, I know I’m actually about to be out.

Do you miss the S2000 vs the NSX?

Other than Miata.... what 2 door sports car for under 30k should they be looking at?

Could they? Yes...Will they?, No.

Things I wish I’d learned early:

Yearly testing for senior citizens and affordable mass transit. Until then, stories like this one will be all too common.

Now, this is the point where you make some comments about “warranties” and “reliability.” I got news for you, friend-o—you aren’t keeping this car forever. You’ll pick up one of these coupes and hang on to it for two or three years max, then life will dictate something more practical.

Bet you there’s more than one lawyer who has/had tried to convince the driver that they can sue the homeowners for placing the rocks there. After all if the rocks weren’t there he would have crashed into their house which would have likely been less injurious to him. They have created a hazard.
