so what is he insinuating(sp?)

That you can't afford bananas

But can he afford a gay cruise?

If he's lucky he can. Plenty of bananas to be had on those.

'03 Trailbazer, not that there's anything wrong with it, but I would have been so much better off with a lease.

Prices dropped a ton about six months after I bought it in December of '03, so resale went to sh!t and now I'm probably $3K-4K upside down on it (owe $17K at 0%) even though I've paid $250 more a month on a purchase as opposed to a lease.

But, how was I to know that the wife was going to go from driving 35K mi./yr. to 4K miles with her new promotion?

but htat should be a good thing..less miles...better resale

Sure her driving less is a good thing, but in two and a half years I'll have a vehicle that's worth maybe $10K and have paid $15K more ($250/mo. X 60 mo.) for the privilage of having said I bought it. I'm out $5K and I'll have to go through the trouble of selling it.

Since it looks like everyone else is working on being banned I think I'll call it a night.

Getting banned or going to bed? I think that would be the "oh I wasn't done with the muslim discusion thead, or the offical goodnight thread, respectfully.

probably a microsoft force feedback 2 joystick. it was cheaper after rebate and i was looking for a joystick at the time but it really is overkill. i almost never use it these days since there are no good spacesims.

I need to try Tie Fighter on my projector.

Nope, but I don't know what the mods will do to you for starting another thead considering they locked the other one.

Still trying to think of a really bad purchase...

Surely I couldn't have researched every purchase thoroughly?

play freespace 2 if you haven't

the ff2 was expensive yes, but its still one of the better force feedback joysticks out there, discontinued and all...


my worst purchase was probably a 250gb maxtor hard drive. the fat dissapears every few months and i have to do a low-level restore

Hehehe, expect any GM vehicle to plummet in value 6 months after release. Corvette might be the only exception. This is why I will NEVER buy a vehicle with a dealer markup.

I hate it when you're right.

I did get a GM discount. I should have gotten something else, but I didn't want to get another Tahoe with all the miles the wife was driving at the time.
