I mean, I only buy used now—so I guess I'm that secondary market and the people I buy it from buy new. Most of my family isn't rolling in on a new ride every other year (although my inlaws seem to have a new used car every two years). Most of these new cars are depressing. They all look the same. They're either grey or black. Bought my '07 Chrysler 300 used back in fall of 2010. Still going strong. Only car I'd buy used is an Evo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could take until they take the drain out of me before I'm really back to where I was, so now its a game of patience and rest (It always was). I've never done a march bracket. hang in there, bro.

You're a bigger man than me, LOL...hope you get back to normal asap. Do what the doctor says, despite what you may read, he's done the work to know what you need to do. Get some rest. A ruptured appendix ain't nothin' to fool around with. Other than my current one, my fave was my '85 Subaru wagon that I bought from my best friend's parents for $600. I put a ton of money into it, and it took a head-on collision to kill it. (I still honestly think it coulda kept goin'.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took talking to a couple different people including the surgeon to help put it all in perspective. I'm at the acceptance stage now. My favorite car was Emma, the 98 chyrsler sebring convertible. Washing dishes for a living and going to college, totally kept a smirk on the face until she tried to kill me with the ball joint popping out on me. Road that car until the wheel fell off, put it back on, and kept driving her. Miss that crazy *****.

Kosher Ham Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I wonder why they stopped making certain cars...and why they continue to make others. For example...The Supra, The MR2 Twin Turbo, The Acura Legend, the VW Karmann Ghia, the Fiero, the 308 GTB, etc... ??? Yet they still make ...Buicks. Seriously though, SO MANY unsold cars every year and the car companies won't simply take the hit to get rid of them. Nissan etc... That is just silly to me.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Only new car/vehicle I've ever owned was the one I have now, my 2008 Toyota Sequoia. Before that they were all used and most likely my next one will be used too (1-2 years old). My first car was my dad's old 83 Honda Accord (the grey ghost), drove it through college and put almost 200K miles on it, but the AC went out in 1998 and it was going to cost more to fix than the entire car was worth (blue book had it listed at $400 in perfect condition - no miles ). My dad was high school buddies and friends with the owner of the local Buick dealership, he cut me a really good deal on a one year old Skylark. Also cut a deal a year later on another Skylark (same year and model) for my wife when her Chevy Caviler tanked. People made fun of us cause we drove the same car, just different colors, but ****, the car payments combined were under $300. So **** em. Was in two wrecks in the Skylark, one that sheared the compression pin in the AC unit (in 2001 - Buick was a 97) and again, the AC cost more to repair than the car was worth. Drove it without AC until I got hit by some dude in a van (his fault) in 2004, at that point I went out and got a 2002 Montero Sport. Dang transmission went out in 2008 with only around 120K miles on it. Then I got my Sequoia, only driven off the barge to the dealership cause they messed up and sold me another one where the inventory wasn't updated. I went in late on a Friday night, test drove them, then asked them to look for the color I wanted. They had one at another dealership, I did all the paperwork, paid the down payment, etc. and the next day I get a call and they told me another dealership sold it first and the systems hadn't been updated. Ended up getting one never test driven with a free towing package included since they screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Need some advice hear from anyone who's going through or has already had to deal with aging parents. We're in the phase right now where my mother's erections are becoming more and more frequent. Been trying to pretend like we don't notice but it's becoming a problem. For instance, this girl that I've been dating and I went to visit my parents. Mom made us grilled cheese which was nice but when she brought them over, she practically smacked Skyler in the face with her raging salmon.
