That’s what 84-month financing is for. Which’d make this thing a mere $13-1400 payment a month.

My kid knows that after earning the first million, Dad expects a Pagoda Roof Benz.

Depends. With the built-to-order/reduced inventory model that manufacturers and dealers have been using to push up prices, a lot of these guys are going to have a lot of empty real estate that used to hold acres of cars.

Different horses for different courses, my man.

Alas, it doesn’t prevent it. It just removes it after shaking all of it loose.

When you consider the cost and consequences of a mistake, it pays off to invest in the right tool:

Is the now part of your statement accurate? Or is that something that will be accurate in the undefined near future?

That’s the only takeaway I get from this. I kinda like that idea.

Thank you for reporting this on Thursday. It’s great to know what racing is on TV before the weekend even starts.

Rebuilt title? With no explanation why it has a rebuilt title? For all the money? No Dice.

If I really wanted a backup camera and SatNav in this car, I could just go to Crutchfield and buy any of a number of them with big ol’ screens attached to a double-DIN chassis.

I’m not worried about the financing ... I’m worried about the real quality of the car, based on time I’ve spent at similar buy-here/pay-here lots. A polished lot lizard is, nonetheless, a lot lizard. And Homey don’t play that.

No Dice. Heavy scent of buy-here, pay-here, just sign right here and we’ll take care of it from the seller. Like plaid sport coat double-talkin’ seller.

I especially liked when it was cruising by in silent mode, and I could hear the clangs and clacks of it driving over metal strips and manhole covers in the garage.

Nah. Not interested. Fuck Palantir.

And the power of a fee-based economy.

Too much. No Dice.

I’m sure they are. But they are God-awful ridiculous. Give me the rent-a-racer look. It’ll lower the profile dramatically, and I can save the boy-racer stuff in the rafters of the garage.

Get rid of the boy racer hood an trunk and replace ‘em with rental spec units. Maybe the chromed wheels too, for quieter lookin’ alloys. Not black ones, though.

Fair enough. I was going for the punchline. I don’t hit everytime.
