Om, this article is perfect. This is all the same advice i give people. With a little research, saving money isnt hard. People are lazy though

Who cares what people think? That is why people lease cheap bmws and mercedes. You think everyone is impressed by the car because of the name.

But your comparing apples to bacon.

Its funny this has to even be said. I work at a place where you can make okay money with overtime. I have these guys at work paying 1k a month on a used bmw for 72 months at 11% interest. They then look at me cross eyed with my new scat pack. My car cost slightly less than their bmw. Magic of a 2.4% interest rate and…

Hahahah...fyi...all evo MRs from the generation have that tranny. The gsr is the 5speed.

I think its the perfect analogy. Houses are a terriblr investment. You spend 30 years paying a mortgage/interest. 200k house cost 200k in interest. Over 30 years you probably at another 100k in maintenance. All in hopes of the house increasing in value for retirement. Even if the house doubles to 400k, your still down…

If you need a loan for your house you cant afford it

Haha, exactly! At first i was thinking you were going to go the other way.

Use two hands when handling the banana

Nice car, but for 22.5k, id expect a decent interior and hvac.

Dodge charger scat pack. Can be cheaper than a sti or focus rs and has more room and power.

You can fit 2 adults in the truck plus stuff. I owned a focus st and the charger scat pack is way more practical.

Would you be interested in doing a comparison video with the aston and a 2016 dodge charger scat pack that is b5 blue? With the options i have, the cars are similarly priced

Im jaded....haha

Yeah, but a ss doesnt have the radar stuff in the tech package or the heated wheel. I almost got plum crazy, but i went with b5 blue instead, they are great cars

What options did you add? I just bought one with the forged wheels and upgraded seats. Msrp was 43xxx. At that point it had the same equipment and then some compared to the chevy ss. With rebates/negotiation i got it for 39k. I also factory ordered that car.

So what is the original swap that you completed?

Its funny, ive posted before how manufactures engineer cars to the epa mpg test. So to get the best gas mileage, you have to do 55mph. My old focus st would be around 3k at 80mph. This car had enough torque to put around at 2k at 80mph.

Negative, i am not.

Haha, yeah, i was kidding. This is my favorite car ive ever owned. 21 in 14 years of driving. I think it beats out my friends evo that i drive occasionally that has a big turbo.
