Thinking of getting new car... having difficulty with the aspect of spending money on it though.
Option 1: No car - Cost: $0
Benefits: Save lots of extra money (no car payments, insurance, or insane gas prices to deal with).
Downsides: Major mode of transportation = public transportation / cabs (sometimes it makes me feel like a NewYorker).
Option 2: Buy a civic - Cost: $15,000
Benefits: Have a reliable, reasonably priced car and still have plenty of leftover $$$
Downsides: Spend about $7000 per year (incl. gas, insurance, maintenance, and monthly payments). If I'm gonna spend this much a year, I might as well buy something like Option 3!!! Ok Ok that's just an excuse... but check out opt 3.
Option 3: Buy a Cadillac CTS-V - Cost about $50,000
Benefits: Have a hot, fast, sexy ass machine that can go 0-60 in 4.6 sec!!! Not that I would ever try to drive this fast but I could... if I wanted to.
Downsides: Spend about $18,000 per year (incl. gas, insurance, maintenance, and monthly payments). I won't have a whole lot lefover after this and the new condo... but dammit I need something to park in my new $30,000 parking space!

Why don't you get a schwinn?
schwinn's don't have engines... that would require work on my part and it would take longer to get to places. So not only will it cost me money but also time and energy. :sleepy:
I'll park in your parking space, neighbor
ha! that would take care of that problem then. but i think you would be in a different building. anyway, looking forward to seeing you this weekend... it's been ages! i think i gained about 20 lbs since the last time.
Option 3! You only live once! :goodjob:
thx streetphotos! that's 2 votes for opt 3! one step closer to being swayed in that direction.
GEt option 3...then you can be broke with the rest of us
3 votes!!! muaahaha!
