I have so many questions for the person who made that and they all begin with "why?" Somehow I think it's great but at the same time I'd never want to be seen in it.

wesleywillis posted:a tale of sadness and woe Poor guy, I know the feeling, but I'm lucky enough my unreliable shitpile only cost me a grand to buy and I could scrap it today and not be out much more than that. I feel like if I met the guy in real life I'd need to buy him a beer and give him a hug. Edit: Dammit, I was talking about the Maserati, not the "Invention".

C-Bangin' it

And if IIRC Wheeler Dealers did an episode on that model (or maybe it was a 3200 or whatever.) Had some sensor that was like super ludicrous expensive but there is one guy on earth that fixes them in his garage and he wouldn't show what he did.

Same thing with the 996's. Seems to be that the people that have the least problems with them maintain them but still drive the bag off them from time to time.

Was going to point my SF-area friends at it but I'm guessing now he either fat-fingered the price or decided listing it at $1020 would get people to call... and then say "Oh you meant $19k? Cool lemme get my wallet"?

I am still surprised at how underwater people manage to get themselves on used cars. Some dude was trying to sell a 15+ year old diesel pickup for more than what it cost new because he had to "pay off what I owe "

My little sister, who I love but who makes bad decisions and then asks me for advice about them afterward, bought a lightly used hybrid SUV for >$18k, on a 78 month loan. She is disabled (depression +PTSD) and is living on disability in the Seattle area. She thought I'd approve and be really happy for her because this particular vehicle gets great safety ratings and great mileage! It has the room to transport her large works of art to the sci fi conventions she goes to to sell them for a little extra cash. It's sooo much better than the paid-for, ~20 year old subcompact that she had to pay $600 for a new transmission for because you know, ughhh, these maintenance costs were killlling her. So yeah eventually I'm convinced she's gonna be trying to sell a 10 year old hybrid SUV which still has 4 years of payments owed, and is gonna be really upset to learn it's literally worthless. I can't even really talk to her about it because it's so upsetting for her when she realizes how loving stupid a decision it was, and it's crippling her budget every month. Not everyone makes terrible decisions because they're morons, a lot of people just don't understand what the right priorities are, and let a sales person talk them into buying based on payments and features.

Joe Mama posted:At least she bought a useful vehicle and not a clapped out 350Z. Yeah about that. How much do four new tires for a SUV cost? I don't know the exact answer, but I'm pretty sure it's about infinity times more than the amount left in her budget at the end of each month, which is zero dollars. I will wind up buying her new tires
