The irony here is killing me...

What was sticker on theirs? And were you far off on the package deal? Was it their package or your financial wisdom getting in the way?

It was me! I was not willing to throw in another 25K plus tax and so on to get the added performance of the RE. I did that when I traded my 3,400 mile Yellow jacket and 40K to get the Hellcat. At times I regret that move.

$25K = Wisdom

RE = Emotion



Tough battle... Better you than me...


Oh, wait, I'm next...


This is why I'm staying away, very dangerous...

If the wife say‘s its the redeye or me ,you have a decision to make.

Widebody or narrow.😂

If my wife gave me that option... I’d ask which widebody is she talking about!! Haha
Jk

 

[Hickster]

Shoot me to hell,, if you could get her that far,, she can get what ever she wants. Divorce works wonders, and paint it later.

Why not play these cars aren't going to be around forever (at least in this configuration)...would be nice to upgrade while they still exist (in this configuration). Widebody Charger Redeye will make me think along those lines. Reset my ride before they change them? My 2018 is coming up on 14,000 miles...love every minute of it...but Charger Redeye is having me think long and hard (assuming they make them).

I"m sure you guys have all seen the UK decision to bring the ban on gas and diesel cars forward to 2035 right? Now, that's far off, and the UK market is vastly different than here, but global changes are afoot.

Very interesting. Battery technology needs to increase a lot more before ICE is done in. But, what do I know??? I drive a Charger...

 

[Hickster]

I have all ways thought on the lines of,,, you know you aren't going to be around very long, so get what you want. Purchase it, put it in your name and pick up the pieces at the court house. Oh honey,, I will pick up that tag cost fer ya. Don't worry about it.

I must be the 1. I place myself in the mind fead of info that even your family will screw you. Hold on and hold on tight. Must be a Guns and Roses after Axel burried his wife and can still hear her. I have taken the high road again. Got what I want, got what's make me and cat happy. Anf F the rest. Learned another lesson this week. Nice to people and so far screwed out of rent and whom knows what else after my intrusion Thursday. Then back surgery Friday. Better hide the guns. Being a contractor owner for 2 companies and PM for 3 others,,, being nice gets you a car you want,, but want get. The reference to the title on the car goes back 5 vehicles ago. My last, I will sign that was 4 years ago. And it played out again. Ex-- owe honey you need to pay and send this in. That will be fine since it is in my name and you have been making the payments. Bad, no, I put down $10,000 on the new car so she could make the payments. Now, ex's,,, can I have my $10,000 back now it is paid off. Female says my car go screw yourself. OOOps,,, better I don't call it in stolen, or attempt to sell it. Done with it again,,, hugh Bob. Me and my bike or car. Take no favors or else???

I'd say use common sense, you know the right decision already. You'll always want something you dont have no matter what it is.

 

[Jungle Cat]

I agree with the above statements, you're not getting $50k for your car unless you really overpay for the new one.

Also... I think the real question is to whether or not your wife will know the difference between Tor Red and GoMango...

Yes, I guess I’m a bit ignorant on price mine would bring. As far as the color she would know. She didn’t want me to get Gomango in the first place as her Subaru is orange and she wants to have the only orange car in the house. So I “suffer” with the TorRed!

 

[motorhead]

You'll be dead soon enough, live for the moment.

 

[Jungle Cat]

Buy her a horse (or two), (or three).... View attachment 11822

We have a horse farm that borders our property. All we have to do is look out the window. It’s just like owning them without the work or expense.

Wasn't there a Sheryl Crow song "If it makes you happy" ? Personally, I believe no one is getting out of this life alive. Secondly, Jay Leno believes engineers are great, which I believe to an extent. I've read the UK gas thing. It's coming. These cars are probably the last high horsepower gas engines. Elon Musk is a badass and an innovator. Look at TSLA in the past two days? Electric is great because it's torque straight off the line, no waiting. Lose the wife. I lost my first and ready to kick the second out of the house. I'm to old for B.S. Do what makes you happy, and can afford. t's all that matters. Do you want it? Can you afford it? Answer those two questions and you have your answer. I gave up on "asking permission". If your a team your a team, if not, your just room mates. You don't have to ask permission from a room mate, or at least I don't. Sorry for the rant. Been watching Parks and Recreation, and I need to become Ron Swanson. Sorry if that was a a little deep or even relevant. I need to lighten up.
