I have a feeling you were Googling "Am I a middle class citizen?!?!?!" and came across this. :gabe: It's cool dude, we know you have a law degree.

Holy fuck. On another note, I CC a Ruger LC9- great little gun for conceal and high quality. You can find them on sale for a great price too. Good luck man!

Got the deal of a lifetime on Craigslist, so we can lock it up!

I've come across the need for an extension ladder the last few months and haven't had one- checked Craigslist but nothing good just yet. Minimum of 16', preferred 16+ My only other requirement is that it holds at least 250 lbs. I am 190, but fuck, some of those 200-225 lb ones are sketchy as hell, so I'd prefer a class II or higher. Aluminum or fiberglass, I don't care. Let me know what you have!

Bump...offers? Almost summer cruising time.

I'm a huge fan of losing money as clearly displayed by this thread haha...I wish that was sarcasm, but all facts point towards me being a dumbass. :no: Again, I should have rephrased that. The car is too fast for my needs...it's no where near my 240, so it's not like I'm shitting my panties with it's mass amounts of power. I do think I am going to keep it a few more months. At a $450 a month payment and only a 1.7% interest rate, I can enjoy it for 3-6 months, pay down some of what I owe and then sell it in the fall for a similar price so that I get some bang for my buck.

What side of town?

Thanks for the well thought out response. I don't really fall into any of those, although I do have a lot of debt (not burred, it's good debt). I think the thing that's to be said here is, my income is significantly higher than an average 25 year old. I don't mean to sound like a douche and act like money doesn't matter (trust me, it does- I totally fucked myself here), but I'm certainly not scraping by. Could that change at any moment in time? Absolutely- I get nervous around the first of the month every month- praying the stars align and all my tenants pay. I do know I'll almost always lose on a car- at this point, it's about reducing that loss as much as I can. I know there will be pissed away dollars, and I accept that. But the less I can piss away that better (obviously). I guess I should have phrased it differently- the car isn't too fast, it's just not something I need for a DD. If this was my only fun car, I'd keep it. I've put a lot of years into my 240 and it's finally coming to fruition. I just have such a hard time throwing that all away. I didn't 3 weeks ago, but now that it's so close, I just can't let it go. There's also a lot of sentimental value with that car as well- long story. I am averaging around 22mpg- I drive mostly highway. Bad? No. 8mpg less than my Accord and premium gas? Yes. My decision to sell is based on cutting losses sooner rather than later. The longer I have the car, the less it's worth- I'm not sure I'm willing to take the chance. I probably won't list it for sale for at least another month, although if someone shows interest around what I'll be asking, I'll sell it asap. Thanks for the "kind" words guys- again, I admit I fucked up. I have a buddy who creeps on this page that advised against it too- Hi Adam.

Sounds like a nice mod list. Any reason for selling?

Some dude on Slickdeals posted a link to a generic toner that fits. $20 for one, $40 for 4. The only thing I print is leases for my houses, the occasional receipts, etc. I want a laser...I know that. EDIT: Just clicked the one above- it wasn't the same I was going to link to: Laser Cannon for $65: http://slickdeals.net/f/7762601-canon-imageclass-d530-monochrome-laser-printer-w-scanner-copier-65-free-shipping Link to toner: http://www.meritline.com/canon-cartridge-128-toner-compatible---p-69718.aspx?source=s2010

Just came here to post this. Good deal? I'm in the market as well.

As much as I'd love to agree, my fear is the depreciation with as much as I drive. One of the things I have going for me right now on the car is the "low" miles (52k)- I drive 1200 miles a month or so. People get fearful of foreign cars being anywhere near 80-90k from what I've seen (I'm sure some will disagree with that), so I feel like the longer I hang on the more I get fucked. A Prius sounds appealing. Not too fast, not too slow. Great gas mileage, and great for the Earth. :dumb: I did- twas around 2k. That was factored into my loss.

Thanks man! Haha you know I'm only selling the S4 so I don't have to keep hurting your feelings in that turd. :gabe: Definitely plan to stay in the Audi/VW scene- I really do love this car, just not practical. I feel like an A4 is much more practical for a DD.

Man, I'd love to do this with Laura but I have a Tough Mudder on the 9th, R4TC the 16th and then a concert in Cincy the 22nd...not sure my energy level that next morning. Let me talk to her to see! Thanks for sharing Trish.

You'd think I would have learned by now- I seem to be snowballing my losses on cars, ha! I can break even on this thing because of what I got it for. My loss would be my down payment (5k) but approximately 3k of that was my Accord value loss- so basically 2k if I sell for what I owe (and I'm pretty confident I could). Thanks man...fuck it's such a nice car and so much fun to drive, it's just not practical for my commute/life.

I, Zx2guy19, stand before you all to admit defeat. Impulse buy, 100%. Absolutely love the car- a serious piece of machine for a 30 mile round trip commute. Unfortunately, it's just that. With my 240 coming back to life, I am second guessing my decision to have such a high HP machine for a daily driver. I am getting goat raped on gas (premium) and driving the manual in traffic still sucks (my Accord I traded in was also a manual). I can rarely open the car up and just don't think I need it as a DD. That said, I am going to keep the car until I can find an avenue to cut my losses with grace and try to pick up an A4- still a fun, luxurious car but about 8k less than the S4 and better gas mileage, cheaper insurance, etc. As a disclaimer: this truly has nothing to do with money (not that anyone will believe me), but really just a need for a high HP DD vs. a want. Again, you all win.

Nice car man, love it in white.

Chuck and I work together- awesome dude. Hes told me about his car but I didn't realize it was that nice. He dailys an s4 if this is the same dude we are talking about.

I'd be shocked if you had the least bit of trouble selling this nice of a place at that price point in that area. Good luck man, but you won't need it.

Good call, I didn't see that. Previous statement retracted.

So wait...you had her at 17?....you aren't trying to compensate for your mistakes, are you? Not to be so blunt, but it seems like you weren't totally respective of your parents wishes either- I'm sure they weren't thrilled when you brought a baby into the world at 17-18 years old.

I bet you drive a big truck with balls hanging from the back, don't you? :lolguy:

I have to spread rep around before giving more to you...fuck that was good.

Literally LOL'd at this. :gabe: Let them stay together. What is love? Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.

Planted grass seed last night- rain today and tomorrow. Score.
