That would be me. And while it may cost me money to buy a car, I really like that it's not a "rental", but mine. Heck, it can take me a year or two before a vehicle feels like it's mine anyway. Or should I say, before we're good friends. Tax wise a lease would do nothing for me, so no incentive...

Did I mention that I like to be able to say "It's mine"? Well, there is that painful three month period that I do have to keep a car financed in order to get several thousands off. Then it isn't mine, and as much as I hate owing anybody anything, I do. Plus it does cost me $200-$300 in...

Oddly enough, the guy who bought it spent all kinds of money and made it look nice, too. Enough so that it supposedly spent time at Petersen's Automotive Museum. Lost track of it after he died. Which was not caused by him driving that Jeep, by the way.

In the past five or six years I have picked up almost all our vehicles from dealers ranging from 300 to 450 miles away. Once back home and unloaded from the trailer they first go on the lift for a thorough check, then the break-in can begin. Now if the dealer was only 50 miles away, I might...

It's starting to sound like all you guys have paved and well plowed driveways.

That must be an oversight on the moderator's part, not having made the Taxi Workers Alliance an honorary member yet.

And your point is?? I not only lowered a Jeep, but also sectioned it four inches. It was a very fun ride after having ditched the 4-banger and installed a healthy 400 c.i. smallblock. Fun, but so sketchy with its 82-inch wheelbase that even I was a bit afraid to drive it.

Neither did Chargers...before things went to hell.
