:shakehead Take another look at Saki's explanation :killer:. An asset is anything that has value. It is not necessarily something that qualifies as a good investment.


Anyway, nice car Minch.

Thank you.

Killer, corporate property like company vehicles and PCs are also considered depreciating assets on their books. Rudimentarily, they have a market value that diminishes over a period of time. The process of depreciation does not abrogate its value as an asset, although in time it may.

To all of you saying I'll ever get laid with this car, no woman EVER showed any interest in my car, except for the heated seats. Oh, but when a C230 hatch with rims pulls up they all swoon Women who judge me based on my car aren't worth my time to being with, why try to appeal to them?

And to guys that said why not buy an old accord or something, I'm a big guy, and most of my friends are 6ft+, so this car can carry like 8 of my friends and all of our stuff in the black hole of a trunk.

Have fun paying for gas. Although the step down to regular helps, but saving the $400 a month offsets the extra gas cost and then some I guess.

I'm avering 24-26mpg in the city in my Accord V6 MT.

At least if anything breaks on the boat, it should be cheap to fix. Town Cars are in wreck lots everywhere.

Well, I average around 21-24 in the CL, and this thing gets like 15-16, so it shouldn't be THAT big of a difference.

And you're right, if anything breaks, nothing is electronic so it's simple plug and play parts that I can do myself.

But do you know what you get from a woman like that? LAID I gotta give you credit. You've got your priorities straight. now, use the $400 a month you would've spent for your car payment to buy hookers instead. Probably cheaper and less of a hassle than having a girlfreind anyways.

not true. I got more play in my Sebring than in my 330ci.

Of course there was a 30lbs weight difference between the two cars

Watch Minch get laid now cuz he actually took the pussy off the pedestal. .
