Ya, I want to lease a beamer cuz the price is right. . . and ALL maint included. No worries, no hassles.

The lease would be a little less than my payment now, and I will have another car, so if I start to go over on mileage ., . . .I got another vehicle to drive for a bit.

I have just been wanting a Miatafor so long now. I originally went in to the Mazda store to look at the new Miatas. When I found out the RX8 was less $$$, I bought it.
Now I am looking at the older miatas for a fun car. (low, light, and fun)
And BMW for the 4 door, leather, and goodies car.

I think he is down to 14.8 now. He just keeps lowering the asking price to match the payoff.

payoff is 15.3. I just want the payoff. Car was previously list at 17.9....down to 16.2 on the Autotrader...and when people call I tell them it is less. I dont want to make money on the car, we just need to get away from it without any money out of our pockets. I have ben offered 14.8 twice, but as I have posted, neither of those deals went all the way through.

We are all in dream land about our cars and what they are worth private party, or even as trade ins for that fact. Demand, but more importantly, the direction of where that demand is coming from is influencing the value of our beloved cars on the used market. Kids want our cars. Their parents want a cheap car.....in the unlikely event that a kid is going to a loan to buy the car, it would be obvious that they wouldn't be able to finance much.....this is why our cars don't receive much on the private market.

Truth be told, I would buy a mac in a second if it was compatible w/ everything I do.
In fact, I'll probably install the 2nd harddrive and part of it will be used to install Ubuntu on it because I love that operating system, and it's much better at handling resources than Windows.
I need windows for all the stuff I do on my phone, and if the laptop is good enough, I will definitely have some games on it.
Also, the software I use for my music to unlock the protection, only runs on windows.
I not a Apple Fanboi, but there's no denying it's ability to work right and quick.

It is not the first time people have tried to change the wording


Kinda sad when people are giving away their rights for free.


I say we have more guns.
If every passenger on the planes had guns . . . September 11th would never have happened .

they're not trying to change the wording, rather to get clarification on the actual words themselves. (ie; the infamous 27 words)

Red being the highly contested portion of that sentence.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

i see both sides. the right to bear arms should be protected. but, in a way that makes sense and protects the general public.

what does it say for us as a "civilized society" if going forward everyone "needs" to carry a firearm everywhere they go? i hope it doesn't come to that.

but, on the other hand if we were all allowed to carry light sabers, i might like that idea. light sabers look cool, they glow, and they make interesting sounds when lit up.

guns are so... uncivilized.

The right to carry a gun is there to protect us from OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.

This was SO important to our forefathers that it is #2 on the list.

If you use paypal it can get expensive


To list the wheels would be about $5-7
But paypal would take about 3%-5% for the transaction

loren: I can't believe those things haven't sold yet! Are they a popular size for a different car? Craig's list?
