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 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 R8 that will likely outperform the houses here?max225 wrote:0 Down 4.88% APR which is the going rate and @85k @ 72 months $1364 a month.

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

I am not, I don't see Billybob the 3rd getting a 85k loan while he has 1 set of used dentures and a broken down lawnmower to his name.

Wouldn’t being a customer imply that he/she bought a Mazda ?[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 6:19 pmI have a current customer who lost his Model X to an autopilot error.

No autopilot in that guy to “destroy” the vehicle[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 9:51 amHe's bought a Mazda, he just doesn't know it yet.
But he's leaning heavily towards the MX-5 RF.
I don't see what is so 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 , why not?
We all have different priorities.

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.D Griff wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 9:56 amI don't see what is so about this.

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

I'm a neat freak and would take care of my place but I'd be 100% fine with 1950s green appliances and shit.

And lets be honest here. The majority here give NFs about haus stuff and would totally do the 8 car garage w/ small living space above.
but ain't nobody here shopping trailer park communities.
