i found myself in awe of the new f250. They are so massive... you can barely pilot it around suburban hell. They drive over all the crubs and cut diagonal on all turns.

I'd take 10+ year financing on something cool. It would be cheaper than buying something that I don't really want every couple of years. Being able to buy once vs getting stuck in the :plac: cycle of compromise could be great.

That's why I need 180 months. They'll give me 360 months at 4% on a POS house in Corning that will never appreciate, why not give me the same terms on an old :manuel: R8 that will likely outperform the houses here?

That's worth 3x trailers in most parks... Who will finance someone who has that type of life... and it won't be at a prime 4.88% it'll be 20%+

Someone will finance it and I guarantee it'll be parked in front of a homestead with a lower market value than the :truk:

edit: I say this because I know of a local guy that lives in a trailer park with a Ferrari 360

I have a current customer who lost his Model X to an autopilot error.

Has no idea what he wants to replace it with.

Wouldn’t being a customer imply that he/she bought a Mazda ?

He's bought a Mazda, he just doesn't know it yet.

But he's leaning heavily towards the MX-5 RF.
No autopilot in that guy to “destroy” the vehicle

I don't see what is so :wrong: about this.

If I was single, I'd get one of the shitty country houses on the outskirts of Charlotte with three car non attached garage and live it up NFG. If you're into cars and don't care about :pinshit: , why not?

We all have different priorities.

Yea, my :pinshit: house crap is 100% driven by :tits:

On my own, I'd live in a very small, but nicely maintained house in an OK area and a bunch of toys.

There's a yuuge difference between living in a small modest home w/ a 3 car detached garage (and probably a decent amount of land) and living in a mobile home community.

edit: unless you're in one of the retirement communities in FL - some of those are pretty nice.

And lets be honest here. The majority here give NFs about :pinshit: haus stuff and would totally do the 8 car garage w/ small living space above.

but ain't nobody here shopping trailer park communities.
