I Bought A Boat
Indeed I did. Going to be a new daily drive/project car towards the end of summer. I'm going to end up selling the CL in a couple of months to save some money, but I already found her (lesser) replacement. It's a 1983 Lincoln Town Car, 140k miles, excellent condition, paid $2000.
These seats are 23 years old!
I bought it from a preacher. It was his wife's car. It has a digital speedo, loads of room, and the old Ford 302ci/5.0L V8 from the Mustang. It's paid for, I don't have to worry about it in parking lots, and I no longer have to flip up seats to carry around more than two people. Yay me.

Yeehaw
In high school I used to have a part time job chauffeuring this guy to the airport, I drove him in a car identical to that one. It really is like driving a boat, you try to aim that big Lincoln hood emblem at where you are headed...

The hood emblem is like a gun sight.

Monthly improvements instead of monthly payments works for me...
I hate car payments, and that's one of the reasons I'll have my CL for awhile...

x10I get MUCH more satisfactions paying cash for a car then paying monthly. Plus if you don't like the car down the road it won't feel as bad cause it's paid off.

I don't think so...
It's refreshing to see a young man have his financial priorities in order....
All of us can't be ballers like you dom
at least he didn't buy a buick....

I have no problem with him getting his finances in order but that car is a social death sentence for a 20 year old. 
But like everyting else it seems, Minch probly doesn't care.

You will NEVER get laid now. At least you had a remote chance of stumbling into some pussy in the CLs.

Buick is somehow worse than a Lincoln? Much less a 1 year old Buick vs a 23 year old Lincoln.
