Ive been driving for 50+ years. I’ve gotten out of a few, and paid a few, but I’ve never paid full price + points.

I deliberately haven’t mentioned weight other than in passing. I will say that I was the same as you: always in good shape, and regularly working out, until I got a desk job with long hours. I never thought I would get that heavy… and then I never thought I would get healthy again, either. And, I don’t think of it as…

“Cravings” is close, too. But I still crave things sometimes. There’s nothing like great ribs, or a meatball parm. There is still that thrill of anticipation of the first bite. “Urge” might be closer. I sure there’s a word somewhere that works.

Good explanation.

….

Never mind. 

No dice. Not even if you knock a zero off the end. If the current owner won’t spend the money to “keep it out of the crusher”, then why would anyone spend FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, plus all the money to fix it, to do that?

Oh, I agree completely; you have to want THIS one. If you do, then this is the right price, IMO. I also agree with you that these are just so beautiful. Unfortunately for me, the world is full of cars I can afford to buy, but not own!

Nice price, but it also raises one of the quirks involved in buying a car like this: if you can afford to own it (not buy it; I can afford to buy it, but not own it), you can also afford to buy a newer, nicer one. So, you would actually have to want THIS Ferrari, not just any Ferrari.

Nissan Rogue. 

Two in a row where it is exactly the right price. NP. 

Not much to say; that’s the right number.

The rate reflects the risk to the lender. And as we can see, that rate probably wasn’t high enough to justify the risk. 

I really want to like this. AC was available as a dealer add during the ‘80s. But this car needs a stick to be fun. No stick, no breeze? No dice. Sorry, it’s a nice car. 

This is worth nothing. I mean, it’s obviously worth SOMETHING. But for all practical purposes it is worth nothing. 

The C4 is irrationally my favorite Corvette, flaws and all. But if I were to get one, I’d spend more money to get a nicer one, fully understanding there may be issues eventually but at least not at the start. Pass. ND.

Yep. Still a fail. But that’s how he got through security scanning in the first place.

Didn’t even have to read the article to know it was this nutcase. 

He had a boarding pass for a different flight, but he missed that flight and didn’t want to wait for the next available.

Okay, I took one for the team and made this. It tastes good, but what a pain in the ass. I could have had either a pizza or spaghetti on the table in a third the time, with abou a third of the mess. I did it with an Alfredo sauce, mushrooms, spinach, and fresh mozzarella on top, which wasn’t an issue.
