I'm trying to buy a new car and I were in this one area and every single dealership wants at least 10K for every car. We're talking about 03 ford focus cars included. The thing is they don't want to sell the cars outright they want to finance you with shit payments that enslave their fellow neighborhood fresh off the boat/border construction workers for the rest of their interest paying lives. Then when said chump can't make the payment for whatever reason they repo it and resell it to another unsuspecting fool. Whilst perusing these indentured servant mobiles this mexican chick kept looking at me. It was like she'd never seen a white person before...in fact that's probably exactly what it was. They had to get us an interpreter at 2 of these places. The only reason we were even in this area was because I found some cars that were too good to be true on vehix and lo and behold when we got there they were "already sold" all 5 of them...imagine that.
Its like I'm an elf here and this is the 4th age of man. Most of my kind has left for the shining realm of manwe. Some of the men still speak our ancient beautiful language but it has for the most part passed into antiquity.

You should try Fort Lauderdale or Davie. More black and white folk.

Maybe you shouldn't have rebelled and gone to war over your stupid silmarils.

This board tries to hide it, but we're all a bunch of nerds. :laugh:
The guy who sold me my car was slimey as hell, He tried to act all like my best bud and a nice guy but damn it all if he didn't raise the price of the autos he was selling every time I came in... day 1: "$1000"; few days later: "$1500"; few days later: "$1800"....
It's a good thing I took notes from the beginning and could say "Yea, but didn't you offer it to me for $1000 last week?" Pay attention and take detailed notes about the autos you look at, including blue book pricing and stuff, and you can nail these suckers every time.

I researched my car, made several inquiry trips to different dealerships, and haggled a great price for my automobile. Speak for yourself, slapnuts.

So did I. Why do you think I was able to get my car for the $1000 even though when I went to get the car he had raised the price of it to nearly $2000? Anyway, what kind of car did you get?

A new lease on a Mazda 6 with upgrades, 249 a month.

That's a new car though, I wouldn't want a lease anyway (the car depreciates at least 30% in the first year alone), and I don't know if I could afford $250 a month. A Mazda 6 is a sweet car though.

Maybe you shouldn't have rebelled and gone to war over your stupid silmarils.
But I needed those to place under the ground effects of my car. What you thought I'd settle for neon bulbs? Only the divine light of Telperion and Laurelin can make my ride shine proper.
I'm looking on ebay now and I've found some stuff that looks pretty good. I wonder if they let you come see the car if you're in the area.

INTERNET is the one of the few places where I can release the nerd/geek. In real life no one has any idea that I know what THAC0 means.

It's bad when I had to explain what the silmarils to Kary, even though she is a massive weeaboo who trolls anime blogs. OPPOSITES ATTRACT!
Seriously, so many people are nerdy. x.x
Quick story, me and Kary are both sitting in class about 3 years ago in a biology lab (Dumb required courses). We're sitting there waiting to see the new Ghost in the Shell movie (one of the only animes that do it for me) so we're looking at our watches alot. One of our lab group sees this and inquires. He's a guy who brags how he steals all his books, the rest of the group are frat boys and sorrority gurls. When we tell them why, we get this:
OH! THE ANIME MOVIE!? You know what's a great anime?! DRAGON BALL Z!
Then 4 of the 5 other members (Girl included, only one girl didn't know about anime) proceeded to talk all about their love of DBZ, Sailor Moon, Knights of the Zodiac, etc. I was crying from the hillarity, they talked about it for the rest of the class. I still don't remember what lab project we were SUPPOSED to do.
-
You know what's a great anime?! DRAGON BALL Z!
Heh, some guy told me this a couple of weeks back. "Dragon Ball Z and Naruto!"
-
When I hear that I have a strange urge to kill people. I'm not sure why.
-
Imagine fratbois and sorrority girls chanting this.
I think the guys were gay, though. When we had to do a sensory exercise, the sorotity girl (who was around an 8-10) was placing lifesavers on Kary's tongue, while she was blindfolded. I was entranced...
But yet, the fratties were not. What happens when it's my turn?
"OMG BRO! YOU HAVE SUCH A LONG TONGUE!!!"
Kary fell out of her chair laughing.
-
They want you.

I was very happy with my Carmax experience two years ago - we'll probably be going back next year to get an XTerra for Eddie. I'm not obsessed with popping a car's cherry - let someone else take the depreciation.
-
I was happy with my Carmex experience two hours ago. My lips were getting a little chapped.
Plus, I love the smell of that stuff.

If it was good enough for your Roman and cowboy ancestors, it's good enough for you.

Carmax? They sell cars online right.
*chells them out*

Spoken like someone who has no idea how a lease works.
Its not your car. you only lease it. you're not held responsible for how much its worth in 3 years. You turn in your car and if the buyout is thousands more than the value of the vehicle, then you let the bank worry about it.
People who buy Minivans and SUVs make me laugh. in 3 years, the market will be even worse. they'll be paying for a car thats worth half what they owe.
get a lease, get gap insurance, never own a car again. or buy a cheap car outright and drive it for as long as the repair bill is less than a payment.
I haven't been in the car business long, but I'm pretty sure I can give advice whenever its needed provided you leave your assumptions at the door because its amazing how many people have it absolutely wrong.

oh yeah, and theres a dealer like that here too. its a joke, only suckers shop there. if you're looking for a car for less than 10k, go to craigslist. buy an import. don't buy a ford. buy a honda, toyota, mazda, or nissan. something with a good reliability reccord. a honda engine will run to 200,000 miles, but people get stupid and sell them at 100,000. you're out of warranty and it won't be the newest car in the world, but you'll get reliable transportation for the next 7 years. just make sure you've got a mechanic you trust who works on imports, or a dealer service department.
you want a car, do your homework.

Exactly. I bought a used car worth 10,000 or so, the tradein after 4 years was about 3k, and it was in perfect condition. My payments for the paidfor car was the same as the lease, and my lease is only a few bucks more.

Well I kept looking for a car and eventually ended up getting another 01 ford taurus. I paid 4900 for it and it has 38K miles on it. It's an LX which is a step down from my last model. This one just like the last one was owned by a little old lady. It seems to be my lot in life to take cars off of elderly women and then ride them into the ground.
Yes, both the cars and the women.
-
The elderly women? ???
-
That's how he was able to afford the car. He's the GILFer we've all heard rumors of online.
If they want significantly more than what kbb.com says the car's worth and they won't haggle down, leave. Or go buy a hundred thousand mile car that's of a model with a proven track record and run it 'till the wheels fall off.
-
My mechanic sold my 83 Toyota Tercel to another of her customers and give me occasional progress reports - still running at almost 200K miles.

:laugh: No! I just remember how when I was little , EVERYBODY used to watch DB. And up until now, is in at least 3 different channels all through the day (in many countries in Latin America). It's crazy, I don't know if they share the rights or what/
-
I liked DBZ till I realized it was a rise and repeater.
-
I liked it when I was a Senior in HS, and it was on in the mornings on the UPN station at 6 am and I would have it on when I was getting ready for school. Before that, I had never watched anime. Now, I never watch anime.
Raditz to Freeza remains awesome to me. I should watch the unedited version they released, but I haven't even seen Gundam 00.
-
I liked DBZ till I realized it was a rise and repeater.
So did I. I watched it through when it was first shown in English and then, with the Freeza saga unfinished, got some fansubs to fill in the rest. I still haven't seen the Cell/Android thing in its entirety to this day merely because so much of that just put me to sleep. I did see all of Buu and even that was fucking tedious. It's the fucking Old Yeller of anime. Someone should've shot it years ago.
-
I watched DBZ for a while, til I downloaded the manga somewhere. It wasn't nearly as tedious and was actually funny.
-
I'll always love DBZ for its overwhelming powet aspect. But Naruto has more special attacks and I'm all about special attacks.
-
DBZ was pretty infamous for dragging out fights and stuff for about 6 episodes. Remember when Piccolo's planet exploded? They somehow managed to drag "three minutes before destruction" into four episodes. It was pretty ridiculous.
-
DBZ is infamous for dragging its battles out.
-
I still cant believe that there's people who actually commited suicide in Japan after DB ended (10 years almost)
-
Merla insists someone committed suicide when Dumbledore died. Anyone know if that's true?

If you're stupid enough to kill yourself over a fictional character, you don't deserve to exist.

I might kill myself if the Pats win the superbowl. With the Red Soxs winning the World Series it gives people from Boston the false sense that they are worth a shit.

We already had a year where we won both the World Series and the Super Bowl. Plus, you're from bumfuck middle-america. The North East is the seat of American civilization. Look for the Celtics to pwn this season, too.
The Bruins? Eh, who cares about Hockey but Canadians.
Patriots over Chargers, 42-17

What I love is that Red Soxs fans act like their team is the best team in baseball, which of course nothing is further from the truth. The Yankees are. Love them or hate them, they have more WS titles then any other teams. The Soxs aren't even the 2nd best team in baseball, that honor belongs to my beloved Saint Louis Cardinals. Even the As are better then the Soxs. The mother fucking Oakland Athletics.
Besides any team that has the designated hitter pitcher rule isn't a real team anyway.
