I haven't bought my next cars yet, but I have posted tons of stuff I have bought and gotten people all in an uproar about.

I never said everyone sucks. Most cars do suck though.

You are all butthurt over me looking at and can afford an M3.

My threads are never 'angry'...unfortunately asshats like yourself like to pop in and not read the rest of my posts.

When I posted buying cars in July, I underestimated my time on projects coming on. I am also hoping to pass CCNP R&S and CCNA Wireless in all of six months. I have SWITCH done, but ROUTE is on a milestone of 7/14...the rest by 9/14. I finished SWITCH in 2.5 months then got really busy. Cars are really a back burner right.

It's funny how you motorsport lamers stick together. quotes like don't street race, but then post up video of blasting down an area with posted signs stating it's dangerous.
It's your general attitude. I know you don't get that, but surely you wonder why people react to you the way they do?

Why are you part of a forum then? I wouldn't call many ppl here strangers that have been around over ten years with me...

I actually very rarely ask for anyone's advice. I either give my opinion on a topic or give my advice. However, if I ask a question, it is very specific. But I can see asking a question like, what do you think of a particular car? You then take that information, do your research, and then make the decision on your own.

When I bought my car, I did the research on that particular model, compared it with other options I was looking at and made the decision on my own. I didn't take a poll on an internet site on which car I should get. That decision is mine.


And yes, I've been here for 10+ yrs and they are still strangers.

Your memory is bad, I've had an M3 for over five years. Poser.

Lol, an 06 M3 is the last gen model (and while great in its own regard) and only worth approximately mid 30's. That's not exactly something to brag about or all that impressive, most making a semi decent salary can afford that whether they choose to or not is another mater.

That's the thing though I am not trying to brag, the financially pathetic take it that way.

Bought your Yugo yet?

Thanks for outlooking this for me.

Still pretty busy, y0.

Passed my 642-902 ROUTE test today...

Maybe thinking about doing the 2009+ CTS-V now.

Still extremely busy...between study and travel, my dog developed diabetes (on top of her cancer).

Quality of life all the way for her though. Picked up this AlphaTrak pet glucose meter, having the wife make her up some custom food...she was running around like a puppy tonight.

send me a reminder in about a month or so.

kthx!

Bank won't give him a loan so his mom may have to take a second mortgage on her trailer.

Not sure what this means here. My credit is pretty damn good though despite even my mortgage company screwing up my home loan now.

One of my creditors raised my mid 5-figure fixed line of credit when that drama started to a 20%+ variable rate (nothing was on it). Recently, they just put me back to not the same single digit rate, but 11% fixed.

BTW, not everyone's mom lives in a trailer. Sorry to hear that.

LOL I was going to wonder what new cars would be in your mix. That's a good one, maybe a 2011 Mustang GT also. Since we're just talking about stuff you'll never buy why not put in a Delorean, too (one that can travel through time) and a 2018 Porsche 911 Twin-Turbo.

If your self esteem was not as low as we all know it to be (this thread is like a huge trophy to it) you wouldn't go into such mundane details about minutiae. So what now you're gonna get your dream car at an 11% APR? Whole thing is laughable.

Didn't really read all that, but my car loan if I do one would be around 3% on the used cars I am looking at.

I don't think you understand your own argument.

You have been pretty active in ATGarage, what do you drive/get taken to school in?

not really, and a 2005 Mustang GT is not a muscle car.

Sure it is.

Remember when you live in the ghetto and have a small hallway for a kitchen? Also, remember when you think you're hot shit when you really just like hot shit on your chest? Remember when your m/o bride goes back to her home country to..."visit her family"?

You ballin' dawg.

Wow...I posted a fact and you go off the deep end with some stupid insults. What the fuck is wrong with you? You remember a lot of granular details about me, you must have the most boring life imaginable.

Of course you read it, don't be coy. Can't believe a big spender like you needs to borrow money for a used car, how very pedestrian of you.

I suppose you want me to tell you what I drive so you can laugh at it, despite it not at all taking away from the fact that you post about cars you appear to have no real intention of buying. If it makes your epeen feel any less deficient I actually own a 1987 Corolla with 650k miles. I was driving it until last year but after a DUI (I drink because my life sucks) insurance went too high, so now I take public transportation to my job as a bag boy, which I'll probably get fired from soon because I have Tourette's and am always cursing at customers. However, even with all this, sometimes I'll take the car out late at night when I don't think the cops are around and remember how it's faster than any Dodge, Audi, or BMW that you may or may not own. And it makes feel better again.

Why would I take out $65-70k from my retirement when I can borrow at 3%?

I don't know many even doubling my income paying cash for newer cars though.

$40k budget? awesome.

find an m3 with competition package and manual (thats the ultimate e46 to me and in interlagos blue) its gonna be hard to find one but it would be worth it. if ur looking into Auto-x and HPDE/track time, the m3 is the way to go, charger is too heavy, and the s5's motor is over the centerline of the front axle, so weight distribution is not gonna be too good, but if ur looking for a cruiser all 3 cars should be good.
