[Shotimes] Well, I did it (bye bye SHO, hello STi)

[Steve Tatro]

I wouldn't spend $30k+ on a brand new car to drive around.  There are better uses for my money (like building equity, investing, retirement accounts, etc.)  I do tend to spend a bit so the wife has something nice to drive around.

I think the majority of new cars are purchased merely so the buyer can say "Guess what, I just bought a new ___!" 

I'm not sure but I think the majority of people who make snide comments toward those who replace their SHOs with something else are just jealous.  They act happy to be driving around their 10+ year old Fords but would rather have something newer/faster/nicer.

IMHO, of course ;^)

That's what I expect from the list: picking apart what someone
bought to replace their SHO.  It's why I'll probably never post
what I sell my car for or what I buy to replace it when the time
comes.  : )
