Hey all, just wanted to say goodbye for now....I just got back from trading in my truck....I'll be back someday, when gas prices go down or I buy a boat again....It's been fun reading and chatting with you all getting help and suggestions....

 

Bettter put on your flame suit. All these rich guys can't understand why gas prices should bother anyone.

 

I'm guessing I was included in that bunch, funny, I don't even have a job, haven't for 5 months, and won't for possibly 3 years!

Hardly am I rich ahah

 

If the shoe fits...

 

But apparently it doesn't as you were describing "the rich guys?"

 

Then why bother responding to this thread?

















I know, just to be a smartazz.

 

Kinda like your (first) reply?

 

Not even close.

 

Hey so how 'bout them Padres? Peavy pitches a 1 run game and they lose at home. Damn shame...

 

Go Tigers (71-35). Verlander gets 14th win.

 

So what did you get? And RWN, you're miscalculating, I think. The Fusion 4 cyl is rated at 23 cuty not 24.

Just bustin your chops, bud.

 

Sorry, my window sticker says 24 city, 32 highway. Best I've gotten is 23.75 city.

It's all good.

 

You must be very wealthy if you can afford to lose your @ss trading in a truck to save a few mpg's.

 

Why do people even bother posting these topics? If they want to read the replies, just search for the previous posts. The same members will have the same posts in all of the threads. Almost like Deja vu.

 

I guess some people just keep hoping it's opposite day, when they'll actually come out ahead by trading in a year-old truck and getting a brand new car to save a few mpgs.

EDIT: I was just thinking, if I remember anything from my accounting classes, the costs that most people think of when buying/trading a new vehicle are to be considered "sunk costs," and should really have no bearing on the decision. Is anyone a CPA? Am I at least on the right track?
Still, it doesn't make sense to me to lose all that money, whether it's sunk or not.
