Yup, I got my car for less than a third of its value 4 years old and still under warranty. I could never see me buying a new car. I almost leased something this past winter, but with the rental car, and the lack of snow my car made it through winter just fine. Next fall I will either look into leasing again, or buy a beater. My only problem is I’m used to the luxury. It sucks not having those things. I still am kinda pissed at myself for not buying Donnie’s SRX. I think if it was the same color as my v I would have ended up buying it. ---

Not to mention your credit is probably stellar too. 2500-3k is just insane, thats almost my car payment. ---

Ive been doing alot of lurking on forums and reading alot about the r35 platform. I guess companies figure if you have the money for a GTR, then you have the money for GTR parts lol. Its just like any other high end exotic or high end super car. Its a little out of control to say the least. ---

It gets expensive after 650whp or so… when you have to start building things. Its a badass car, but they are finnicky too. And if the motor or trans lets go expect to pay $25k. Hense my mild puss mods. ---

Plus you know it’s a GT-R. You don’t need quadruple digit whp to make it an enjoyable car I’d assume. ---

So the other day, I was jerking off and I slipped off, hit the dresser and started gushing blood out of my hand. I went to get up and get something to stop the bleeding, slipped on my own puddle of blood and semen – fell into my closet door and broke it off the hinges. Now, I couldn’t do much at this point as I was completely fucked up. Sprained my dick and my ankle, hand is undoubtedly broken and I’m covered in a semen-blood emulsion… So I called the neighbor. He comes over, but for some reason brought his entire family. It was awkward. Anyway, I had a salad for lunch. ---

The only reason I bought my fit new was because 1-2 yr old ones were selling for pretty much msrp at the time. Interest rates were lower on the new car. I paid $12,500 for my '05 Elantra and a used one was $13 at Fuccillo so even though I had no intention of buying a new one it made more sense. > [@Is this website legit?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-this-website-legit/52186/7): > > thats crazy as hell for insurance. i hate paying 60 a month for my cts-v. couldnt imagine 2-300… Im paying $94 for my truck alone with full coverage and no points/accidents. Im guessing yours is insured as a ‘pleasure’ vehicle though. My Mustang was only $40 a month but it was old and I didnt have collision on it. ---

I just put my red s2k on the road today and it was like $100 a month. i’ve got 3 other cars on my policy, a motorcycle, a house and a diamond ring.

i spent a lot of money on an engagment ring, if it ever gets lost or stolen i want to be covered on it, not to get a cash settlement, just to be able to get a new one and replace it. it only costs about 90 a year and is well worth it if anything ever happens to it. it’s pretty common to ensure these things. ---
