Well...... Flip has made a decision...









































ditching the Scat pack idea for right now. Did my pros and cons.... Also, sat and thought long and hard...



I'm on the hunt for a TL-S.... KBP or WDP is what I am looking for, under 10k less than 140k miles on the dash... I have time, so I will just wait for the best deal to come along.

Really not a downgrade either. going from a 2016 to a 2007-2008...

I'll get extra I guess things, I guess. So it's kind of an upgrade

Navi
Quad tips
Full leather
Sunroof
More power
ELS


Insurance will be a tad bit cheaper too, and registration.

Hey man...
only you know what's what and if it's worth it.
I honestly think I could live just fine without a LOT of the creature comforts in the newer cars.
Shiet...I use those AKG bluetooth headphones to jam out and take calls in both the S and the Cuck. Zero fucks.

Shiiiit I forgot my cousin's BF has an 06 that he needs to sell.

I haven't saw it so I don't know the details. Mileage, 6MT or auto. I know it's an 06, and I think he mentioned he replaced the transmission, so I'm going to go with A/T.

If my assumption is correct, I will not buy.

I could probably offer him 3000 dollar hairs and some 420 and he would take it though.

Ninja trying to get his credit score up into the 8's.

Don't pay off your credit card
Just make sure the ratio of debt to credit is low

Is it just me, or are you hopefully wishing to get a Type-S with under 140k miles on it, for 10k or less?

no points or fees to speak of, Maj...I'll read the fine print before signing the paperwork.
Already feeling good about my decision.

Let's see. When I was 20, 8 years ago. I was driving a 03TL-S, 04 Civic, CBR 600RR, and my old Ninja bike....

I was stupid, I was promoted with gubermint so I thought I was a high roller. Lived at home with my parents. I should have just had my bike and the TL and saved the rest of my money. That kid is making a mistake! I didn't learn my lesson until I was 22 when I bought my first house.

I drove a Chevy Astro Van and then a Chevy Malibu. I bought a Chevy Cobalt when I was 22. Awful.

I bought an older A4 two years into having the cobalt. When I moved to Texas, I couldn't pass anybody in the Cobalt.
