wow, im surprised how popular air fresheners are. I've never had one in any of my cars... I hate having anything out of place on my dash, that shouldn't be there- air fresheners, XM receivers, phone holders, GPS units, you name it.

Keep it simple. Keep it classy!

Air fresheners is a thing. And also a few years past.

Also, who had seat-belt shoulder pads?

Any suggestions from ya guys?

Well.. he's not really looking, I'm just sort of finding a way to pay him back so I want to splurge for him. Sort of like, "Here dad, thanks for helping me out in the past, enjoy this in good health". But a used car for now so you can get to and from work comfortably. I'll get you a nicer car when you retire

"Strict with maintenance" = hey thoiboi, do oil change for me. hey thoiboi, steering wheel shake when braking, do brakes. hey, why this light on, fix it.


I think he'd gladly pay for premium fuel when I show him the reg v premium thread.

CTS-V

Or stick with Toyota and get a Lexo.. maybe GS350 or LS460. Although Morgie says the LS has issues with failing LCAs.. apprently it has 6 LCAs, steep on gas too.

You could get him a 335i fairly cheap. Gary loves his, so there's that.

i'd prefer to stay away from BMW HPFP issue scared me away from a used BMW.. CPO maybe... but i'd prefer jap over german because :asian: and reliability's sake. considering the gs350 actually... the new gs f sport is just gorgeous but i can probably find a nice CPO one .. oooo.. i do have a cousin that works at the largest toyota dealer (by volume) in America..


I wanted to see if i can stick to the Acura family but supply does not seem to support that wish

Shiet, if I bought my dad a 20-30k car as a gift, he'd cuss me out to no end and call me an idiot for wasting money.

I still hear about it every time I pull up in the Miata

Unappreciative, cheap ass immigrant folk...

My dad probably wouldn't take it and call me stupid for not buying a house. (even though I've bought 2)

Then moms will ask why you have no wife?

I'd buy my mom a car before my dad. Gotta deserve it, sorry!

For the moment though I simply fix everything all the time for her. Car & house. Works good enough.
