Front end looks a bit goofy, but otherwise, it looks like a sharp car. But yeah, that is exactly what Honda needs plus more!

Really you don't like it? I can't find a single thing I don't like about that fan made rendering.

Except maybe the side mirror color. They'd look better with a thin split anchor too.

it might be the "Type R" plate throwing me off, as that car likely has nothing to do with Type Rs. Plus the fender wrap-around, above the headlight looks poorly done. someone just faded the line, which obviously wouldnt work. Headlight shape is cool.

Yea that part would be nigh impossible to pull off on a production car. I like the look though. Good execution of mashing Honda and Acura styling cues.

So wifey called me back and immediately called BS on me. In her words "you won't spend $100 on shoes without talking to me first and you'd likely have gone to 8 different dealerships, calculated every single option and created some kind of algorithms to find the best approach prior to even considering signing your name."

She knows me too well.

When I told her the price, she wasn't floored by it. She laughed a bit. Said we can talk later about it. Hmmm....

"We can talk about it later" translates to "I don't want to talk about it now...and I won't want to talk about it later either"

I have a sneaking suspicion it's actually Majofo with a fake account. It honestly doesn't seem plausible. I checked out the link to the RSX, and I dunno... All from 2004.

I'm saying it now- I have my suspicions that something doesn't add up.

How many doctors do you know that drive a wide body RSX and have a boosted del sol and a WRX and NOW a 6mt TL? These aren't even desirable cars...seems too good to be true.

Plus, if she is 37, she would have modified that RSX when she was 25. Most 25 year olds I know, in med school, or just coming out, are broke as fuck. Plus she just said she was married for 16 years... So she was 21 when married?

I mean, I guess it is plausible, but like you, I have warning bells going off

Oh I did right from the start. But the list keeps getting longer. Even the way she types / spells / composes sentences. When you've been on the internet for so long you start picking up on the small things.

And for me, in the one world, there are tons of 'catfishes' that you start being able to spot.

I bet if a mod ran her IP address, we'd all know we are getting trolled.

"She" purposely posted that RSX page. Not a single post from her. Not a single bump since 04. Give me a break.

Either way, it's still fun for shits and giggles. I don't buy it, but hey, might as well joke around. For all we know, Flip is white and Johnny is a woman this is no different.

She's into dogs and fishes.

I'm thinking she's legit and not trolling us.

Shit, I dunno Yum. It'd be stupid for me to buy it this year. But I want it soooo bad.

The plan was to get something next year, however, the color of the ford accord I want is being discontinued after 2016. The odds of me finding one used with the packages I want are extremely rare. I may just have to settle for a distant second color choice.

I'd be able to put down a much much bigger down payment next year. Financing a car makes me feel uneasy. I don't like owing. Sigh...

Well, the Alberta economy is toast right now...and as tempting as ANY new car is (believe me, it is...I wanted that E Avant so bad), it may be better to wait if you know it is a risk. Ford would not be doing their job if the car was not appealing.

Up to you, of course...discuss with the First Lady and go with logic and your brain.

And got your PM.

Job security is the least of my concerns. Luckily, wifey and I have nothing to do with oil/gas, and as such, we've remained totally unscathed (at least thus far). But you're right- maybe waiting isn't a bad thing.

Being able to pay more upfront would also make a lot more sense. Dammit. Why do you have to talk reasoning into me?!

I'll just go back to living the youngmoola life, talking about shit I can't have

Lol, just got my answer from wifey:

"Can we manage it? Yes we can. Do we want to? No."



Yeah, I'm a tool. I'm getting ahead of myself. Walking into that dealership was a bad idea. Sigh...

So, credit to Taco Time for his detection-sensors. We may be onto something good here. I just need to doublecheck with my "boss" before I proceed.


But, if things are how I see them...somebody is gonna get a hurt real bad. Somebody. I tink you may know who...!

Waltzing into a dealership is always a bad idea if you're not ready to buy. Just like a nice strip-joint in Vegas.


A random one in say, Regina...not so much.

Yeah, but he was always like "OMG, look at this awesome deal I found!! I'm gonna buy it!!" And then two days later he'd come up with an excuse. After the first 4 times, we eventually had enough.

I feel like I'm treading down his path now

Sorry guys. I apologize. I'll stop. No more. I promise.
