    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
