Yep, I started getting nervous when getting shamefully low trade-in values for my Challenger GT, with 789 miles on it. Stickered at 42,880 and got a couple of $34K offers. One at 30. Must've found one of the last dealers willing to pay almost what it should've been worth, and that was maybe two...

I have a set still in the packaging that came with my '21 GT, which I asked the dealer not to install. Since it's Prime day, I'll consider letting them go for a mere $450. But don't hesitate - tomorrow is trash pickup day.

Just take a bit of a loss and sell those locking lug nuts to some lucky buyer for $480.

Isn't this a bit like buying a $14 angle grinder at Harbor Freight, and then be surprised when it doesn't work right?

Maybe I'm not the only one buying snowblowers in the summer and mowers in the winter?

I dunno. This one seems unusually gifted when it comes to making things worse. Or maybe it was the loggers that lobbied for cutting down trees to print more money, and the evil oil companies that shut down the pipeline? Okay, in all fairness, it probably wasn't the president, but his...

Been thinking about getting a fourth Valentine 1. Guess I'll go ahead and order it.

Crap. Only 40 over, that would force me to slow down quite a bit. But worse yet would be the 3-lane part. Here the passing lanes on our 2-lane roads are few and far in between.

Well, if you're willing to give up the warranty on a Furd, I should have nothing to fear with a Ram.

I'm still a bit hesitant about giving up the warranty. Then again, warranty means very little when having to run off the road to avoid a collision. Guess I should get in touch with Jon.

Was this in the early 1900s, as they were beating out the EVs?

Exactly! And that's why my 'Cat is safer on the roads around here than anything else I own. And also why I hate the 118 mph limiter in the TRX. It sucks having to look down on the speedo to make sure I stay at 117 or less while the approaching vehicle is getting closer and closer.

And here I shamed my girlfriend into buying a Redeye, after pointing out that those are quicker in the 1/4 than her 911 Turbo S. Actually, it may even have been that my regular pedestrian 'Cat was quicker. But she wanted to up me and got the Redeye. So, $80K and change to beat a $200++K car...

I dunno. As I recall, my girlfriend's Porsche was about three years old, and she got over $200K when recently trading it in. It did have low mileage, though. Unless you mean a Boxter or Cayman, but those aren't exactly bad ass.

You don't get much Porsche for less than $100K. They've been affected by all the crazy crap going on, too.

On the other hand, you can't take it with you. And supposedly only live once.

No need to be a lab rat. We all know it'll fail - it's only a matter of how badly.

To me it's mostly to be able to break things in correctly. I like quiet drive trains, and while it's not brain surgery to change ring and pinions, it's not exactly fun either. But still better than taking an innocent vehicle to a dealer to be worked on.

You may have a point there. I don't like my wimmin too spongy, either.
