Anyone who drives anything more than the bare minimum to get from A to B is simply caught up with trying to keep up with the Joneses. Vehicles can be the biggest financial mistake people can make and 80% of people make them.

Because we are dudes. You must not be because you asked this question.

because they like them


why do you spend money on things you enjoy? HOW frickING DARE YOU!!!! I should make a thread about how all the things voodude enjoys are a huge waste of money

and why stop at 400cc.....why should we allow anything other than bikes on the road? all the 18 wheelers....that can be moved by train and now we can fix the obesity problem....only bikes. Plus it prevents the 40k auto deaths that happen every year


BROS FOR BIKES!!!!!!

yea god forbid somebody like something you dont

again why do we allow posters with IQ's under 100, that live like hermits, to continue to give advice?

Babytac is obviously ate the frick up with the dumbass and continue to post that he doesnt think people should ever buy anything above the bare minimum needed. He has shown he has zero ability to understand that people make different amounts and may have different interest than him.


Babytac is the type of dumbass that in the past would try and take over a country so he could enforce his way on everyone. how dare anyone have the freedom to make a choice other than what he deems worthy.

I thought you left. Honestly you schtick is minimally comical to me. So I'm mildly amused your back.

Some people have cars they don't need, some people can't uphold commitments. We all have our weaknesses.

Well said! I am packing up my 110 pit bike and driving to Arlington tomorrow for the big race. Packing up my no fear jersey from 91" and gonna show Tomac and Roczen how to ride, cause anything over a 125 is just stupid. I hope my simple, simple ranger will get me there.

Collector's item. One of the few cars that appreciates with time as long as it is cared for.

You done fricked up by letting it go.

Around $40,000 would be more likely. Probably less since OP's was a 2-owner car.

And out there, somewhere, is someone on a 250cc waiting to zip past you as well.

Madison Avenue advertising...

I'm totally puzzled as well why everybody wants a car they can't afford and has a six year note, mostly to fit needs they don't really have. "i need three rows" "I need all wheel drive" "I need to sit up high" "I need a truck"

Yeah guess what, circa pre-2000 none of that stuff existed for the most part. You could get three rows in a minivan I guess, but it was rarely used.

That said I am perfectly happy to let millions of people buy stuff they don't need so that I can buy it used, for cash, totally depreciated, and enjoy it just as much or even more.
