They are all sitting at :dillerman: s because no one wants a 45k mini that depreciates at $1000 a month
Probably a bit of that, a bit of the auto-only issue alienating the :manuel: faithful crowd, and also a bit of Covid anxiety regarding buying a very niche hot hatch in an uncertain time.
Yea, I really want a :manuel: in a fun vehicle. I don't care that's it's slower and recognize it.

This intrigues me...particularly the even more :fullretard: :wat: Paceman. They're rather cheap too.
I love the Paceman. :lol:

That being said, it's more of a one car to do it all. With BukBuk the Jeep Truk, you can afford to have a more road oriented fun thing.
BukBuk's gone..but the poverty Ram will be a great hauler...so yea I don't care a ton about utility.

That said...I may end up justifying the "fun car" by using it for some highway miles and DD type activity. Something that's easy to get in and out of and carry some mild things in could make it more useful and get :tits: to agree to ride in it more. I'm really intrigued by a :manuel: Paceman for this purpose...plus AWD I could do some winter time sliding fun.

I missed the Ram post. :wat:
Check out my garage thread...

I decided to replace BukBuk with the cheapest Ram I could lease through the corp. Tradesman with Off-Road group.

:howdareu: :triggered:

I mean, I get it? But I don’t have to have one anymore. As long as I can manually select gears, and the transmission responds quickly, I’m good to go.

I'll have to make peace with that one day, but not this day!

Ok, so this day.

I think I sold the Aprilia? Buyer is a pain in the ass. Located about 7-8 hours away. “Too busy to come all the way here to get it”. Reluctant to have it transported. Wants to pay cash, doesn’t have the ability to send funds electronically. Ultimately agreed to ship because I have an acquaintance that transports bikes, but now he needs to carry a stack of cash back to me.

I’m still waiting on the title from the bank, but wants to buy the bike anyway, but is cunting about not being able to tag it right away.

Bruh, can I just get you in contact with my transport guy so we can move this along, or you can pass on it. I don’t care, just stop dicking me around.

For those that jerk off over prices. I bought the bike in NOV 2018 for 15k. Sold for 12. Not terrible. COVID has propped up used bike prices due to lack of new inventory.

Why did I sell? Because I’m a bike cuck and that’s what I do. I’m also kind of tired of having 175hp trying to kill me.

3k is :notbad: for any motorized thing ownership.
Was a cool bike, interested to see what you get next.

Sucks about the buyer.

Likely back on an orange bike. Although KTM hasn't released their 2021 naked bike lineup yet, making my slightly nervous that I won't see anything in a showroom until summer.

You didn't buy anything, correct? So you'll be just down to the Honda for now?

I do really enjoy watching other people enjoy my bikes, so, :notwrong:

So fucking annoying.

My general rule is if they don't have a firm plan in place to exchange goods for money within 48 hours of first contact, move on, don't waste time on them.

I should've followed my gut.
