Fox News know exactly what their audience wants and needs to hear. The news kibble is slurped up by the Fox base with gusto.

If they do, I will be trading in my '17 GTI.

I hate the touch bar on my MacBook pro 

They should have named it Dodge Discharger.

Personally, I would take the Cayman, too, but these two cars serve different demographics so they are not in reality direct competitors. Many people put quite a bit of value on a car make being American. Because ‘Murica.

What other cars is a 200K Corvette in a ballpark with? Those “other” cars aren’t sold without markups either and decent 911s are over $200K. Plus, throughout the entire Midwest you are cool in a Corvette, but an asshole in a 911. Different demographics even for ccomparable money.

Financing is by itself a product that costs money. Financing is totally ok for people who have the money to afford Financing. Nothing wrong with rich people taking loans. Everything wrong with poor people taking loans. People simply have a completely wrong understanding of what financing is: it is either a luxury…

$55 to fill up here. What do you drive to cost $100 to fill up?  Either the mileage of the vehicle or zip code to live were voluntary choices.

It is depreciating. Can't count on it appreciating and fluctuations are that: fluctuations. 

Wrong area if making less that $100K
