interesting “sidethought”, now that the economy is crashing we’ll just have to wait and see if it cures us all of this disease

Sometimes it pays in the long run to get the car with the V6. I bought a new V6 several years ago, the highest trim line of that make and model. The higher quality of some key parts has kept it running and in great shape. The lower trim lines were 4 cyl and some came to develop expensive engine problems.

I know some people who work 2 or even 3 jobs to maintain a lavish lifestyle or drive a certain car. One person who even sells blood in addition to working 2 jobs; she says she is having financial problems. But every time we go out she suggests the most expensive restaurants in town and insists we couldn’t go downscale, like a “chain” restaurant. She wants to go to these chi-chi sushi places where an appetizer is thirty bucks and an entree is fifty dollars. If she stayed at home and cooked a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner, she wouldn’t have to be selling blood at the blood banks!!!!
