what does reasonably afford mean.. are we talking 1/2 your annual salary, 2x your salary etc?

I mean they have 7+ year loans now if you must have something you really can't afford.



To me it would mean you could finance. Up to you if you would trade a car in or if it would be your daily driver. Guilt levels are very personal.

Did you even spring for an SRT8?



No I didn't, but my car is optioned out to cost more than a base SRT8. People value things differently and I go what I wanted for my own personal reasons.

So, you got a muscle car without the biggest engine.


Brilliant.

I guess you're right. I could have spent another 10k and have gotten a much stiffer drive, Brembo brakes that need to have a brake job every year or 2 and costs 1 to 2k, much worse gas mileage, less aftermarket upgrades available. I just don't know why I wasn't so stupid. And especially when the car I have already has more power than I'll ever use. It can't be that I enjoy the ride and like the style can it?

I love the new Rubicon Jeeps, but they are way over priced.

35k or more for those? I'd pay low 20s for what you get.

It would make sense that many if not most people drive their favorite car that they can reasonably afford, wouldn't it?

So, BMW 5 series touring. E61 since I can't reasonably afford an F11 for quite a few years.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.
