I've had my M3 for many years now,but it will be the last sports car that I will ever buy. I hope to drive it until I'm dead, or until it's not compatible with whatever type of fuel(energy) is being used for transportation.

Expensive to maintain? M3 stands for multiply by 3 the average cost of repairs.
3 sets of rear tires in 2008(rear wheel drive).
$430 speeding tickets. North Carolina cops hate me.

Work van-1999 or maybe early 2000 Ford E-250 I believe...I don't think it's 350


I know dudes...American American American is what people scream

And I don't want to offend or start an arguement here...

But I'm confused about why we can take so much pride in America i.e "God Bless America" or "Proud to be an American".....???

We live in this great country of luxury and "toys"..materialism...which my self of course am guilty of....

But I challenge you to take a trip to most 3rd world countries where people sleep on dirt floors and don't have water to drink....umm and we complain if don't have hot water for a shower...or if I don't know OUR T.V DOESN'T WORK!!...ahh!...haha...

Let's just look at reality...God watches over all nations and is not pleased when he sees our nation living in such greed/selfishness and in such a materialistic world...I know most people see God as a perfect God of love but God also will show his wrath in love, Romans 1:18.

**Let's humble ourselves and start looking at what we have vs what we need and don't need and if we deserve it.**

CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO BE POOR!..haha God loves money..Jesus preached on it allll the time...but just used with wisdom and humility and righteousness and not wickedness...give give give and God will reap you with what you sow....

I think the BIG 3 going down is a sign of the times...the nations and the world are going to start to blend more and alot of big greedy American companies are gonna go straight down the toilet...

Anyway....Foreign automobiles are much more reliable and safer and FAIRLEY PRICED...even if they are high priced they retain value wayy long because of quality...

Sorry I'm done preaching dudes....

I couldn't stop..haha

02 F-150 with 223k. Runs great and have never been into the engine for repairs.

So for Zalan Szabo, if that isn't reliable American quality, I don't know what is.

Bruce, I think a friend of mine had a car like that when I was a kid. Had a 426 Hemi in it.
Freakin' screamed in the 1/4 mile. Nice.

Suzuki side kick best 4x4 in the world

000_00141-1.jpg

I saw a dude in a suzuki sidekick or a samurai that got creamed by an oldschool volvo wagon. The volvo had a little dent in the bumper, the suzuki was a hundred feet down the road smashed from every side with a guy trapped between the steering column and the windshield completely limp and lifeless. The paramedics were just standing around talking, they didn't seem to be in a rush to get him out.
