Yep. But my dads 300 feels pretty darn good too. Huge but good. They are not terrible vehicles, I really like this chassis
:dat: I've driven numerous Challenger/Charger in different trims and they're no Lotus but the handling is better than I expect every time.

Lisa side swiped a car as she was parking. Pulled into a parallel spot but hit the car as she was turning in. Whole right rear quarter panel is scratched and scraped. She doesn't seem to care? Amaze.

And this is why a cheap used car is great for her.

Most of us of in flyover country have at least 1 vehicle in the garage, the rest is used to store needless stuff. In our area, 3 bay garages have become the norm in new construction homes over the last 5-10 years. The rest of us have 2 car... Plebs have 1 or none.

:dat: The current economy is built on a house of cards, if that. I'm generally amazed at how much debt people are willing to carry, particularly when it comes to 4-wheeled transportation.

People with money or people with debt.... Likely the prior as JLs aren’t exactly sold on stretch pay... there are very few incentives on them, and the average finance payment on a rubicunt is $700+

Good for them and FCA. :notbad:

Just kind of shocking to me, I do alright and cars are one of the few things I care about and still can't imagine buying a $50k vehicle + insane amounts of pointless mods.

:jelly:

I feel weird about buying a Civic for under $25k. :scrooge:

Seems like it's so dependent on where you live. Around here transportation costs can easily match what people spend on their homes. It's :fullretard:. Wouldn't be at all shocked if folks are walking out of Heep dealerships rocking $800/mo payments on new JLs.

People working at minimum wage are looking at you in the sane manner. But the spread is even bigger. All they can afford is a $2500 vehicle

The civic isn’t exactly cheap, 25k is a lot of money and it your second car. You already have a 12k c5
