Ok I’m back to :gtfo:
After dealing with all the problems it had, the lying dealership, crappy service departments, being stuck in a damned LEAF and then a early 2000s altima as a loaner car time after time while they went about fixing it, yeah. Pretty shameful. Its a tie with my Jeep for least reliable car Ive owned, but unlike the Jeep, it actually stranded me on the side of the road once.

I really want a F40. :driving: But those are like hens teeth. And if you find one. They want a kings ransom. Even if it's in rough shape. :shakes head:

My 2013 Grand Cherokee TrailHawk has been great. Have taken it on 5 cross country trips. Plus it gets flat towed behind the motorhome.

My 2011 Z has only been back to the dealership once. And that was for the steering sensor adjustment on the rack for when I installed the FI LTH's.

It doesn't skips over bumpers in turns like you describe.

That's why I gave up on owning one. :shakes head: To even get a basket case and to redo it will cost both balls.

True. Really though, that's just out of my income/viability range. I make around 6 figures a year (barely), and have a house, land, etc. to deal with. If I were older and had all of it paid off, I still wouldn't invest that much in 1 single-use item. A retirement estate, maybe, but not a car.

Everything I have is paid for. The Jeep, Z, PowerWagon, bike, house. I still have some payments on the motorhome. That was $328,000 new. When I retired. I was making over $150,00 a year. When my wife retired. She was making over $140,000 a year. Last year, I paid taxes on $98,000 retirement income.

Solid. I pay all of my bills, etc. (Not dual income, never will be) and am only 33, so there is a ways to go, but Im aiming to end up where you are. My tastes are less expensive, though. I just want to retire and be left alone asap, while still having my land and class 3 firearm hobby.

You left off one part. If Rusty ate a dollar, he would crap out 4 quarters and a nickel. LOL

I thought the newer Stingray version of the Vette was a ladies car :wtf2:
Less power,narrower wheels/tires :ugh2:
