Diners have Waffles. Jewish Delis do not. Easy answer.

Besides it wouldn't be the first time LSU hired a HC from NC State after his first year there.

Bottom line, we don't just steal College Baseball players from little ole NC State. LSU will take whomever the eff we want.
Think about it. We just grabbed a head football coach from a team in the College Football Playoffs. Do you think LSU couldn't pull off a hire from NC State, lol.

Did you buy the silver one in Covington with 35,000 miles?

Perhaps Mulch Color Spray/Dye can be used. About $23 and enough to last several seasons. I've done it with a cheaper ACE Hardware sprayer and had good luck.

Sounds to me that you've made some good choices in life so far. If this is a splurge you find worth it then go for it.
Like I said it wouldn't be my choice but I'm not in your shoes.

Proliferation of student loans. Makes college more expensive, more apt for bullshite curriculum, more peripherals for non-education concerned accoutrements, and a for-profit like mindset that can outweigh educational focus. They're trying to let everyone in order to get everyone to pay.

Excellent. Ask yourself a couple questions:
Will you be earning 10% for the lifetime of your payments on the truck?
I was thinking more like 7% on the ten year old truck. Either way, find out what the interest rate is on a new truck and then understand how much of your payments go to interest on each. There is an equilibrium of payments on new vs old and probably a potential to buy a >$46k new truck for the same monthly spend.

Lower payments, modern features, no depreciation risk to you, ability to upgrade without worrying about selling, and a full warranty.
It should say “Forever payments” and include a * for depreciation risk. You’re essentially paying for the depreciation in your lease payments. Dealers don’t absorb depreciation as they’re hedging on a predicted rate in your payments. They're not giving you any freebies.
$46K for a 10-year-old truck is crazy, and paying a 3-5-year note on one is nuts. You didn’t mention if you’d take on a note, but since you’re buying something that old, I’m guessing that is your plan.
You might want to compare your monthly interest rate costs for a 10-year-old truck with the new one listed above. You could be spending an extra $100 a month for an older out of warranty truck.

Right there with you. Shoot 80's 911s can hit $100K these days. I regret not buying one when they were semi-affordable.

Good answer. Fantastic cars as are their sibling the Boxster.
I'm fringe enough to say that I would rather a new Cayman GTS 4.0 or Boxster GTS 4.0 over a baseline 911. To me it is the less car equals better car scenario.

Sub-$45K?
It's not easy to find a 930 for less than $145K. They exist but usually have been well loved and/or need work.
Early 3 liter or G50 cars are in the $200ks. Real Slants can be double that.

The XK120s at that price need a lot of love. A good one goes for more like $100k.
This is correct. You may find a good 140 or 150 closer to that price range and they are arguably a better car than the 120.
