I’ll revisit any thread I want, and continue to call you a little prick. Welcome to the internet. 
And yes, I own my house. And I haven’t mooched off mommy and daddy since I was 18.
But seriously, all of this drama could have been avoided had you simply come on and said you wanted to buy an old BMW. Or even had your first response to everyone telling you how stupid it was to spend 5k on a car to save gas had simply been, “Yeah, I’m not really doing it to save gas, I just want a BMW”.
But no, you have to respond acting like a dick.

Sedlmeier, copy and paste this in response to Jay:
The drama comes from people refusing to accept a false reality, which is commendable. When YOU present the justification TO US that you are spending thousands to save hundreds, people are going to reject the false reality that you have presented. If you say “Here’s what I am doing. I’m not going to present any justifications to you, much less flawed justifications based on false reality. If you don’t think it’s a good idea go cry in your GTO.” Then you are not asking us to accept any false reality, such as spending $5000 on an old BMW that gets 5mpg better than your truck will save money.
There is no financial advantage to buying a second vehicle. It’s true that the increased gas mileage will minimize the financial loss of a second vehicle, but you’re not saving money you’re spending it. Which is fine.
You’re welcome to do whatever the fuck you want, just don’t ask us to accept that which does not exist as truth.

:WORD:
and if you think you could live at a place for $200 a month in rent you really do need a bitch slap of reality. If you had such an amazing talent you would not be living at home. I completely agree with what has been said, it is one thing to live at home so you can afford school, it is another thing to live at home so you can afford toys. We are not on his nuts because we were, as it was put, deprived as a child. We are on his nuts because he is going to turn into the 32 year old that lives in his parent basement because he wanted “fun” toys.
If the bank owns any part of your truck it is even stupider to go out and purchase another vehicle, put the money towards the loan you took on the truck to pay it off, then buy another vehicle. Seriously what you are doing is almost financial suicide, especially since you live at home to afford these things.
If you are getting 17 mpg mixed use out of a short bed diesel you are not going to be much better out of an E36. Buying an E36 with that many miles is going to come with it share of problems, and if you still owe on your truck yet you have enough money to purchase a 10 year old bimmer there is something majorly wrong with your economics knowledge.
In the end, grow up, move out, find out how much living on your own actually costs, then pick up the fun cars.
