I'm a 3 car man again!

Well, as sad as it is to say (or be ecstatic over)I am once again a man who owns 3 cars... That is down from a one time high of 6 vehicles in my stable. I have sold the Evo. It was hard to see it go, but it is nice to have that much less expense every month.

It's funny, sometimes when you own a car that you have had to scrimp and save to get... you go to sell it and the kids that surface to purchase the car don't seem to 1) Be old enough to drive 2) have a real sense of the car they are buying 3) Know their butt from a hole in the ground.

The kid who bought the Evo was 18 but looked like 14 years old. He apparently Valet parks cars for a hotel (which is a whole different hatred of mine as it is, but that's a rant for another day). He was purchasing his first car, (a 300hp car is not what I would call an optimal car for a first car) and had Grandpa co-sign the loan for him without seeing the car in person.

This is how stupid the kid was when buying the car... he never once asked me to test drive it or to get a ride in it. That is kind of a crucial part in purchasing a car in my opinion. What if there is something wrong with the transmission or suspension, or drive shaft, ect. It's important to at least get a ride in the car if nothing else.

If you have ever seen the movie or the preview for the movie Drillbit Taylor, you have seen the kid... he would be the fat curly haired kid in the movie. Looks almost identical to that putz. Here is a picture for reference.



Yes, he would be the fat kid with the curly hair... the one that get's caught sleeping naked.

Now imagine that kid driving this car:



Well, Farewell my fast friend (speaking to the car) your peppiness will be missed.
