The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Just don't post about your car, whether you should build it/rebuild it/sell it or any possible new car you wish you could by...apparently that is annoying, or so I'm told. :)

lol! This is true. Just freaking buy something already, Nate. Or maybe Santa will bring you a Lexus like they show in their commercials. :D
 
Haha, yep. Nick is one of your good friends, is a car salesman and is not far from you. I wouldn't think he would screw you too much on pricing. Then again, he is a car salesman so who knows... ;)

maybe, not sure I'd want a Lexus but I couldn't return it and hurt Santa's feelings.

When the right car comes along I'm sure I'll jump on it. The one car system works for now, might be trickier when I start taking classes again in January though.
 
Hell, one of us could even print off an s-plan certificate for mazda so you can walk in, slap it down, get financed, and bounce. Easy

Not sure I could get financed, that's what makes it tricky.
 
Chive is blocked here at work but there was a meme yesterday with a Lexus with a bow on it from their commercials and said something like "A $68,000 gift is really practical, Lexus?".
 
I know right? I screwed myself being selfish and bought car parts instead of saving for x-mas gifts so I won't have a full pay check until 12/20 so I guess I'll have to overnight all my presents for the fam and friends. Thank god for that little check box that says "Want this gift wrapped, you lazy bastard?". Yes please!

stop being so needy, besides gifts are over rated for friends.

Hell yeah feel ya guys there. I am going out at the last minute. Anyone want to go out and power gift buy that weekend?
 
If someone gave me a reasonable price for the MSP as a trade in (if someone were to actually receive it), I could trade in all 3 and get a really nice car... pretend I'm rich like Will
 
Hey guys John and I were talking and we came up with that there needs to be a meet again. Miss the ol' meeps. I can host a bond fire and cookout or whatever. Let me know if it works for people. Kinda looking at next weekend. If me place is too far for people if someone wants to step up. Just want to get a meet together or something
 
My mum and sister are coming into town next weekend for X-mas so I don't think I can come out and play. But a meet does sound good. Not sure about it being outside though... We could do another Winking Lizard meet?
 
What are your guys thoughts on leasing a car vs getting a loan to buy?

Mileage will always screw me but I have a miata for that I guess...

Next weekend is Phen's concert!! Anyone want to go? We could meet up beforehand and head out together ... just a thought.

I was thinking of checking out that craft brewery in Brunswick. the name is evading me now. Jake knows what I'm talking about, but I'm thinking we'd do that after the holidays ... my weekends are booked for this month.

BUY don't lease ... BECAUSE of the mileage issue. Although, since you have another car to drive, it may be practical for you. I leased once and had to rent a car when I drove out of town to visit family because I couldn't afford to put the miles on the leased car : / but that was the only car I had. I do like when you pay off one you bought and you can drive it for FREE for a while. On a lease, once it's up, you got nothin'. : /

@ Levi's earlier post - we got NO SNOW here today!! YAY!! it all came through Friday night I think. We drove down to TN in it on Fri night and came home Sun through ice and snow. Fun travels, but as usual, Marlon did an exemplary job of driving and keeping us safe on the road in our rented new 5k miles Ford Fusion. We were originally going down to see my Dad, but he ended up passing away from cardiac arrest (due to dealing with the pancreatic cancer, i'm sure) Friday morning before we even left home. : ( RIP old man.

Is anyone going to the Million Car Salute tonight starting at Sonic in Parma at 730pm? I think it'll be neat to see 150+ cars heading up the road. We are planning on going.

Oh and I had Chemo #4 today (YAY) ... then #5 on Dec 30 and the final #6 on Jan 21 before we head to Daytona.

I'm not a fan of leasing. If it's something you know you don't want in 3 years (or however long the lease is) or to modify at all then it's maybe ok?
