Some learn by pissing on the electric fence. They usually become democrats.

Car budget was $2300 a month. Paid off wife's car, so her 800 goes to my 1500, and my new payment is 2100, so $200 savings.

It's a forever car, so it's kind of irrelevant to me.

I absolutely LOVE red interiors... but that is just way too much. I'd have to see it in person to know for sure, but holy shit. Based on the pictures, that one makes my eyes bleed.

I sorta like the red interior. My black C7 has a black interior and it's okay.

That worked for me once, only for a few months, as she wanted another car.

Watched that video last night and yup looks like someone just got played for a fool buying this thing especially when the ZR1 is just around the corner. C8's are rotting on dealer lots and some big time markdowns can already be found even with custom orders

Wife is so "anti-car", and her car is perfect, she will never ask for a new one until the Z06 is paid off. I'd love to give her a Lexus LC500, but for now, I'll take her $800 and put it towards a monster.
