In the meantime, you and your high horsepower, exotic cars, are worthless eye candy on the street because there, they do nothing more than what my Scion does,which is drive around from point A to B.

no they accelerate fast which is what i want i could careless what anyone else thinks, i get no joy in turning fast like you and it doesnt make you a better driver then me, i only enjoy corners on 2 wheels. Guess driving a car or bike with power is easy and just for looks.....

On public streets? Yeah,pretty much. 500 horsepower doesn't mean much when the speed limit's 45.

Now that you realize that you and I have different goals for cars, why don't you mind your own business about what I, or other people want to do with their cars?

BBB...I did read the post.

What I don't understand is, there's 2 options.
Pay cash. You have to have it available though.
Pay with credit. You have to pay interest if you don't pay it off within what, a month?

So what's the difference? Have to have the money RIGHT NOW, or within a month. How is that hard to handle?

So let's say he wants a $300 part. Cash? Do you have it on you, or in the bank? No? Then Credit. Will you have $300 of expendible income within the next month? No? Then wait until you do. Really, it IS that simple.

I mean if you're going cash all the time, then you are limited by what you have access to right at this moment. If you pay credit, and can handle the responsibility, you have access to all your income for the next month.

For people that get paid on Friday, and have it spent entirely by Monday, credit is NOT a good thing. But cash is very tempting to spend. I've never been like that, so it's harder for me to understand WHY people do that.
