Five Situations...
by emmanuelchoke on Thu Feb 01 09:07:23 PST 2007
Five things I've learned during my 100 mile daily commute to ease the stress and pass the time. 1. Left. If someone is behind me on the highway and the road curves to the left, chances are they will pass me at that spot. Harmless,but interesting. 2. Ego. I see a lot of "Get out of my way" vs "Don't tell me what to do" behavior. I try to avoid being drawn in. 3. Loon. Sometimes I make like Thoreau and try to anticipate where the loon will surface. One thing for certain though, one always surfaces. 4. Chosen. Every day, I mean every day, a vehicle will choose me as a leader. Speeding up or slowing down makes no difference, nothing short of divorce gets rid of this pest. 5. Speed up. If I pass a slower vehicle on the highway, I take for granted there is over a 50% chance it will speed up. Next to tailgating this is my favorite :sick: personality disorder.
A Tale of Two Cars

I agree with the general sentiment of Domenick's post and those of others which question the value or enjoyment of reading "I've found the golden car at the end of the rainbow" claims, although I do understand the emotion behind such claims when they are offered in the spirit of "I'm in love with the car I just bought and I want to sing it from the rooftops." As some of you recall, in late May I bought an M35 and within a month wished I had bought the other of my two final choices, the Audi A6. I was quite hyperbolic and dramatic in the throes of buyer's remorse. After a few months, I came back down to earth and settled into this driver's version of Thoreau's "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." In this more sober state, I realized the car was the source of my discontent only in the sense that I knew, on some level, throughout the final stages of choosing between it and the Audi that I was being inexorably pushed toward buying it largely by what I had read and not by my own reactions to driving it and the A6. A couple of Edmunds forum participants picked this up before I did and even drew my attention to what they saw I was doing. I ignored them and my own feelings and bought the M35. The aftermath was made worse by the fact that there is nothing objectively wrong with the car. Trying to argue that it is better than the Audi or vice versa is futile. The auto mags were excited about the most acceleration per dollar of the M35/M45 and CR did its job of identifying the M's valium-value in offering relief from fear of visits to service departments. I was looking to be told, I realize in retrospect, by the voice of collective authority that one car had finally been found, which trumped all the rest and was guaranteed to fit all the best. Unfortunately, for me, it was like being allergic to wool and discovering that the new Armani suit was in fact pure wool. For many, it will be the best suit they ever bought. For me, it itched every time I drove it. Yes, past tense. My brother and his wife came to visit over Labor Day. Lo and behold, she had decided that in March 2007, she would start looking for a used M coming back off one of the first (February/March, 2005) two-year leases. She was in love with the car in my garage. She drove mine all weekend and fell more deeply in love. A local Audi dealer facilitated a buy-through process to avoid double tax paying. She has the M35 and I now have the A6. We are both as happy as each of us has ever been with a new car. Go figure.

For what it is worth, Bianca, we like to pay cash for our cars. We buy cars like Hondas that we can enjoy driving for years. The highest priced car we have ever bought was the Accord we got last March and it only cost $20700 out-the-door. It makes everything so simple. We compute the OTD price we are willing to pay and offer that amount. If they accept, we write a check for that amount and drive the new car home. If we had financed the car instead, then we would have put our $20700 in the bank where it would have earned about 4.5% interest, which is only about 3% after taxes. I bet the loan interest would have been more than 3%. That is why paying cash makes sense to me. Paying cash is what Thoreau would have done. He never had to buy a car, but he did have to pay cash for the house he built beside Walden Pond. It cost him exactly $28 and 12.5 cents.

I learn from the best.   Napoleon Bonaparte - "If you only fight a defensive war, the only outcome will be defeat." Or something to that effect.   Benjamin Disraeli - "Never complain, never explain"   Combine that with a little (or a lot) of Thoreau, and you have more wisdom than I will ever have.
