Is that a quirk, a feature, or both?

You know that when you have to dig that deep to find something to gripe about you are doing well indeed. When I was in the hospital with covid after they took me out of my induced coma, I knew if I feel asleep, I’d never wake up again so I just stayed awake for 4 days until I could sleep and be sure I’d wake up again…

Formula 1 has a pretty colorful grid though, yellow, red, orange, blue, pink, silver. Sure there are a few white cars, but they don't look samey at all right now.

I think the relatively simple S40/V50 is a better bet than some other Ford-era Volvos. I’m a huge Volvo fan but for $9k I would at least want the car to look a little cleaner/less screwed-around-with. Otherwise, I would probably stretch to a 2011+ S60 AWD. Also consider that I found an earlier (2005) V50 T5 AWD…

Which is at least double than anyone should really be spending.

It’s crazy to me how many people think that a $5k car is a “beater”. Especially right now, the used market is flooded with great cars from the mid-late 2000s. Its worse though that so many feel entitled to not have to learn about cars. Heaven forbid that people learn a new skill to keep the magic machine that turns a…

I keep wanting a new car and feeling vaguely that I ‘deserve’ one. I’ve had my Hyundai Elantra for seven years now and most people I know have had a new car since then, so why not me?

First off TSX wagon, nice. But seriously though $2.8k warranty on the Japanese Accord? You might want to start looking at other dealerships for service.

My cut off price for a car is $20k, regardless of how much I’m making that year (I’m an independent contractor and my income has varied from $45- $200k per year).

People spend way too much money on cars. The 10% rule as you stated in your car payment example would be a good general starting point, but the lower you go, the better off you are.
