    Congratulations!

    (I love getting a new car. I try to keep mine for about 8-10 years, so it doesn't happen very often for me.)

    Thanks man! Yeah, we're hoping to keep it until it eventually dies (hopefully a long time from now).

    Is that a roundabout way of saying "your mommy"?

    You just created a new thread possibility.

    Cars and their reps!

    Of course, it will probably just end up being a thread where we start bashing each others picks, or make snide comments about "liberals drive prius" and "conservatives drive...."...wait, what would conservatives drive?

    And then somehow someone will think it necessary to post a picture of half naked women on cars and then the thread will change into a huge flame war between people.

    SO thanks a lot HCP! You and your stupid ideas are ruining this place!

    ok:

    Hondas seem to be owned by:

    Old people
    Boring people
    Kids who think that a spoiler and NOX makes their Honda's cool! Big mufflers!

    BMW's are owned by guys who want to be cool and think their cars are really awesome.

    Chevrolet Trucks are owned by either old white guys or dipshit teenager/young adults.
    Same with Ford Trucks.

    A car is a conveyance. My advice is to pay cash for whatever you can get. No reason to pay interest on a depreciating asset.

    That's my opinion too. Buying new, even with cash, is stupid. Buying it with cash is less stupid, but paying interest on a new car is silly.

    Now, if you can't AFFORD to pay cash for a car (and i don't mean 35K for one), it's logical. But I'd rather buy a 2 year old car for 15K less than a brand new one, even if it doesn't have the "warranty"..since you're paying more for the car (in both total costs, and monthly costs) than most repair work would cost...

    HAAA! So it turns out the Hyundai Corp just sent me a DMCA notice for some copyright infringement allegations -- instead of countering and fighting this claim, I decided to replace all of the content in question with more appropriate information. The contact page, used car page, and favicon have a hilarious message as well :devilwink: http://www.hyundaisalemoregon.com/ enjoy!
