Rent some freaking Jet Skis, ATVs, and go freaking ziplining.

Hell yea.

I like that idea, but I find it highly unlikely that a car enthusiast, a girl in this case, would turn down a brand new nice ass Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche, or a fully customized BRZ/FRS to their liking.

Wut.

MMM... I'd still go on the cruise tbh. Quality time with people is nice. The car will come at some point. :P Trust.

When we meet. It'll feel like we've been friends for a lonnngg time.

Offered to buy a new m3 or a ring (of course the ring is a lot less)

She went for the ring

1. Holds Value (vs the car)
2. Can use rest of the money for house/vacation etc

No diamonds for me, I'd prefer flowers and of course for my car to be shiny.

You might as well go back to school for nursing and dialysis and become a dialysis nurse and 70k a year after graduating.

But at the end of the day it's the manufacturers fault right

? For making a car that you actually need to service

The sad reality, is that cars are designed to break down. Manufacturers/dealers make more money on servicing a vehicle or selling parts than selling vehicles. They *COULD* make a car that lasts 500k miles, but then no one would trade up.

That is 100% truth, first time I heard that was in school. Years later my former manager told me at one of the national conferences the upper ranks flat out said "we're in the business of selling parts and a public image, cars are a small portion of the pie."
