Can’t come up with 6 figures?

That addendum makes me happy. Even as an 18 year old, you saw the value of what you were given and respected it. That's integrity. I'm sure your parents did a good job raising you, but you've either got integrity or you don't. I'm sure that's served you well in the years since. Excellent story. 

Fail Rated.

I should note that I DID fill the tank AND washed the car inside and out before returning it to Todd and Selinsgrove Ford. 

Senior year in high school I wanted a nice car for prom. I went down to Selinsgrove Ford, where my family had gotten cars and service since I was little. I spoke to the owner Todd and told him I wanted a car for Prom, knew it was a long shot, but could I rent a car from him for Prom night.

The headlights were gross

If you cannot afford the payments at 48 months then buy a cheaper car. There are plenty of other vehicles to pick from that you can actually afford.

the solution to keep payments down is simple...get a cheaper car.

I think on jalopnik, in this case it’s ok to be that guy.

I actually found it quite strange as usually Oshkosh puts out quality shit. Everything we had in the military from them usually worked very well. I believe the requirement “creep” is what did it in. The generals think it should fill 20 different missions and have every bell and whistle possible. Which usually…

Being a Russian ship, I expect we’ll have dash cam footage soon.

The opposite side of having HOAs is having David Tracy as your neighbor.

Wool actually cleans up very nicely.  It’s great at repelling moisture, too.  Kind of an ingenious move by Volvo to fight soggy butts on long trips or in warm weather. 

Everybody laughs at the Lancer, but...the car is good. It’s either going to break or run forever. Who knows?

the 4.0-liter head I have sitting in my living room

Ccorrection: He didnt drive a Lexus to 1 million, he bought a Lexus at 900k and drove it 100k to 1 million. There are people out there who have actually driven their cars from mile 1 to one million.  In my eyes he just drove a car 100k miles....

- Has a $30-40k truck.

Nitrogen fill is expensive. They can’t just get that from the air you know. 

If you’re seriously asking that I wonder why we’re on Jalopnik. Off the top of my head:
1. It pisses off Range Rover purists.
2. It pisses off BMW purists.
3. It now makes turbo noises, and with some tweaking can probably shoot fire out the exhaust.
4. It now has a manual.

Blessed be the poor insurance adjuster trying to figure out how organize the paperwork on that one.
