I might quit the gambling and see how life starts going. Might be in for a pleasant surprise.

Well, I traded a base black 2010 370z for the 2013 sports package, paid a $6k difference with money won gambling. I am a part time pro gambler.

Is that really a thing? I thought that's what people tell themselves after they lose more than they were comfortable losing.:confused:

Actually it sounds like HE chose the Civic to save "$3000" but she wanted a Mazda 6.

"Wife wanted to trade her 2010 Prius with 80k miles for a new car. She preferred a Mazda 6 but because a local Honda dealer was getting rid of new 2015 Civics, got her one, saved about $3k........."

I suppose you are a part-time pro used car dealer as well?

Not this guy! Ask him to regale you with tales of his shoebox combination bank/accounting/money-management system. It will be well-worth it.

You're not a pro. Far from it. :rofl2: Saved money on trade-in. Blew it gambling. Felt guilty about blowing the money. Dropped a lot more cash on trading in and buying cars just to please your wife. :icon14: Talk about being impulsive!

I test drove Genesis coupe years ago and it felt like a truck transmission was used. It sucked so I passed and got a G35 sport instead. Maybe they've improved, but I steer clear of them altogether now.

Before my Z, I was debating between the Z, Frs (asian parents didn't know what Subaru is but when told toyota, they are ok with it. Corolla generation I tell you), and Genesis. I tested all 3 and loved all 3. Problem is frs is too low for a 6'1 guy and I don't drive like a Mustang owner with 1 hand on wheel and leaning back.

Genesis felt good but ultimatel, like the frs, the two seats in back are practically a small place to store groceries and backpack. I'd rather walk then for a friend to drive me while I sit in back of one of those cars.

Last reason for not getting neither of those car is that in San Jose, almost all who drive brz, frs, genesis are fUK bois.

Ultimately leaves me with the never regret choice.

I had a 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 before my Z.
The genesis self destructed one night, woke up at 1:30 am from a loud noise and my lil red Genesis was on fire. Fire department said no sign of foul play.
Death by suicide!

For your stupid information, ZeeBabar is a common last name just as Jones or Smith is in the USA. You can find it in countries such as the Ivory Coast, Malta, Algeria etc. You must be confusing me with someone else.

I play poker, know nothing about Blackjack or any such games. I play private games, not casino games.

This is why I don't impulse buy, ever.

But glad it worked out and you're happy
