I had the same reaction. $510 a month for a Corolla of all things, if I remember correctly.

And enough negative equity to borrow $25k to get a Corolla. The MSRP for a Corolla starts at $17k.

Depending on how new your car is, it can be trivially easy to install an aftermarket head unit. Even a sub-$100 radio can have Bluetooth support and include a microphone for taking phone calls.

I'm guessing KGWife is pregnant again and he's scared to tell us.

Beat me to it.

I saw a fourth gen Camaro the other day and the reason I bring it up is because they were loving everywhere for a while and now they're mostly either rotting in a junkyard or in front of a trailer.

Knyte, you probably could have done a better job getting a car that's more useful for your family. Something with 4 doors, safe, reliable, and that gets good fuel mileage.

Sell the car, fly to Chicago in a few weeks, buy my 1999 Toyota Camry with ~111,000 miles on it for like $1000 (moving to the city from the 'burbs and don't want to pay for parking) plus the cost of transferring the plates to you or w/e the DMV would have you do, drive it home and enjoy a decent car that needs a bit of work (rear struts/shocks and new brake pads) but that can comfortably fit your family.

This is actually a great deal. I drove one of these for about 6 years, and did the struts myself. You can get cheap struts on eBay for $50/corner, and rent the spring compressor from Auto Zone.

Seriously, that was probably the best car I ever owned. I regret selling it.

Is this not the age of the internet? Is there no such thing as video conferencing or telephone therapy?

I'd be on the phone with them right the gently caress now, not 'in a week'.

Seriously. Do you make $800 an hour? Because if not, then an hour on the phone now is time well spent.

Oh man what a missed opportunity! Now it will be expected.

Cornholio did it better. And by "it", I mean everything in his thread.

I passed a broken-down 4th gen Camaro on the way into work and thought of you, Knyteguy. Just thought you'd like to know :)

He said he was taking a 2-3 month break about a month ago.

To be fair, things didn't exactly go great when he was here either.

I think he needs more help than a business-minded section of a comedy forum can provide, honestly.
