It's hardly cold in Florida, but I have driven my Avalon over a mountain once, there was a road, if you could call it that... after an hour of the rocky terrain I then drove it 9 hours back to Florida from north carolina.

Re: Buying an expensive car

Or do what I did ! Get rid of your car, use public transport,or walk, and rent the appropriate car/ van/ truck/ limo anytime you like The amazing thing about this is you find out just how infrequently you really need a vehicle. Of course I realise this isn't going to work everywhere. When it does it's great. No parking problems !!!

Btw I did a cost benefit analysis when I got rid of my vehicle . I've actually been far better off financially that I calculated, possibly because I really do only get a vehicle when I need it, and that isn't anywhere near as much as I expected!

BUT my dear, you live in a city where public transport is well organised and run properly so its viable.. in my city i couldnt possibly rely without a car tbh... well personally i prolly could at a pinch cos i live within walking distance of train and supermarket, but lots of people here couldnt...

Re: Buying an expensive car

You haven't been reading our newspapers, apparently our public transport is shit !! You love cars I loved driving, but since I haven't had a car it is just incredibly liberating. !! Not having to rely on a car is a really good thing. I do live in a very good spot, but I travel out of it a lot, and by PT. And I plan my trips.

Re: Buying an expensive car

take your poncy sports activity vehicle and shove it

looks like a typical commute....if you don't live in civilization. most people who can afford poncy vehicles don't live in the backwoods btw.

Sadly here in LaLa Land a car is a necessity, our so called public transport BLOWS and everything is really spread out.

BTW here's a pic of both my cars when they decided to break down at the same time;

LOL... no there isn't. We don't have 93 octane here, just 91. BOTH cars take 91 octane. Last time I filled up it was $65. I just broke the windshield on the S4 while changing the windshield wiper blades... I just came back in and started drinking.

I was having trouble getting the old wiper out, it finally came off the arm... it snapped back and put a hole in the windshield. I can laugh about it now.
I've always loved and owned BMW's, I was curious about the S4 so I bought one, used of course. Totally different cars. The wife wants me to pick one and sell the other, we'll see.
