Thanks guys
I think trying to land a 08 for 6k seems like a bit of a challenge lol. How many miles would be too much?
Also say I did find one I wanted-should I request to bring it to a mechanic?
Ive never done this before so I'm not exactly sure-I'll do a ton of reading online though before I go anywhere. Also my friend works at a dealership so maybe he'd be able to help me out :/

Its a shame people still put them down with the most simple of errors, the future of automotive journalism on youtube is in there hands and i'm glad its that way.

In general, it's just good business sense to take an used car to your favored mechanic before you buy it.

Was just watching that too. Ever since I found their channel, I can't not watch their episodes. Almost everything they put up interests me. As for people putting them down, I have not seen this. Then again, I rarely read comments.

I wonder if there is a ripple effect to rumors.

The paradigm would be as such: People start talking about a new Supra (or Impreza Coupe), the companies to the models in question catch wind of this talk becoming more atwitter. After consideration they begin planning projects delving into production of such things. Vague news of it flows through the car world as a second wind, this time with solidification.

Perhaps that's just my misguided optimism rustling about in my mind. Likely so.

So here's something to think about.

I've been unemployed for about a month now and guess what!

My credit score is the highest it has ever been and I'm as broke as I've ever been!

Hooray for our credit system!

Dropped 31 points over the last 3 months but bounced back a whole 33 points all at once this month.

A conversation a friend and i just had on Facebook about him getting a 97 Dodge Ram V8 for a winter beater.

Me: V8?
Him: Damn straight.
Me: Wow, i bet mileage is really bad on it then. It'd likely be better for the environment if you just ground up Sea Gulls, liquified them and ran on those.
Him: josh I think ur on 2 something quick call BP
Me: LoL. Never trust BP, they would likely use Emus for fuel-- and everyone knows flightless birds are low Octane.

LoL, i amuse myself.
