Uh oh, does that mean you wouldn't like my S55 AMG Mercedes Nazi-mobile? Or my Lingenfelter Twin Turbo Corvette? I got nostalgic recently and also got a Totally restored and modified 79 Pontiac Trans Am. Well Moose, guess I'm one of those jerks that blew money on cars. You're kind of right about the non-investment. The way this economy is going, I may sell the Vette soon. Someone has offered me more than I paid for it. It is fun to hop in that thing and feel the 750 horsepower surge on the Turnpike once in a while. I like to blow away the kids in their souped up Rice Racers that don't realize my Vette isn't stock.

but nonetheless you do own a car... you see the contradiction in your statement?

we can argue about the degree how much is being pissed away, but that is a different discussion

the gas mileage on lincoln 2002yr is one of the worst around http://www.fueleconomy.gov/Feg/bymake/Lincoln2002.shtml

you could have bought a smaller, cheaper and more efficient car when it comes to gas..so you are pissing away money too, no?

No.

I have been in several devastating car accidents....in one I literally was thrown thru the windshield....so I find it prudent to drive the heavier Lincoln for safety sake.

And, if I lived in NYC (Which I do not)...I would not own a car and just take cabs....necessity her in CT.

Cars have very little value after a few years.

Also having a good ride means jackshit these days because any idiot can lease an expensive car

technically you right, but this car is priced at 100K

MSRP: $94,550
Estimated Market Price: Not Available
Invoice: $87,932

assuming that can sell it before taking delivery and driving it

lets say you sell it for 75K

you could build a nice gym for $15K (there are tons of used gym equipment out there)  and still have 60K to invest  :-\

I don't want a car that I have to worry about all the time and what I do have . My Integra is all I need and I have a backup Cherokee when I need more room. As for gyms I need are the basics with a few extras. A whole bunch of equipment makes me feel lost in a gym.
