    How many of those people who supposedly can't afford a $500 emergency have been on a vacation in the last 5 years that cost them $2,000 to 3,000? How many of them drive a car less than 3 years old? How many of them have smart phones and big screen TVs? How many of them eat out 3 to four times a week?

    It's pretty pathetic. My 4 Runner is 14 years old. Not as old as yours was @SFGbob but still.

    This panic if fucking up a lot of our short term life plans (seriously) but unless we get into Weimar Germany with the dollar we'll be fine.
    Now you've made me sad, thinking about the old 4Runner. I got 23 good years out of that girl and I miss her.

    I drove a 2004 Sequoia into the fucking ground. Like 357k.

    Jiminy. Them’s are soccer tournament parent miles. My 2006 only has 94k.

    2005 Dodge mini van. 260k before splurging on a new Sentra in 2016

    40 mpg Greta

    My dream car would be a restored and updated 60s American Muscle car

    I'm sure luxury cars are nice but a horrible investment

    My Tacoma just refuses to die, and I just can't bring myself to replace it until it does. I haven't even looked at the odo in months, but it was approaching 350k last time I looked. The light on the dial that shows where the heat's coming out went out on it a month or so ago.

    I've never seen socialism so popular as the last couple weeks. Apparently, all the kids are into it now.

    Are the feds going to hand out money to everybody? If so, I'm spending mine on fishing gear.

    I'm buying camera lenses and booze.

    Dad #1 had a beautiful Navy blue '66 or '67 GTO with white interior. I was like 1 or 2 and have no recollection of it, but there are loads family pics of that car ... it was the first time anyone in the fam. had a brand new car, which my grandfather bought for my father for graduating from college. Apparently the thing hauled ass.

    My old man still, to this day, talks about that car. All. the. tim.

    +, you all know how Cubans feel about American cars. We? love them. The classics anyway.

    Today, this is my greatest fear. $23 TRILLION and printing more by the nano second.

    We?re so fucked.

    Yes and no. We? are not Weimar Germany. Axe @UW_Doog_Bot - we go down, the whole World goes down.

    But still, fuck all you deficit lovers. They do matter.
