the values of the 240's are not keeping pace with the cost of their repairs and parts 200

It's all in how RESOURCEFUL you allow yourself to be.
There are three types of people that own/operate passenger vehicles

1) The Driver. This person just loves the grip of the steering wheel and usually has had a few more moving violations than he's willing to admit. Yet they are very observant and can anticipate moves. But heaven forbid he should have a problem with the vehicle. They typically know a good repair shop to take care of them and tend to cater to the aftermarket sales.

2)The Commuter. Basically this person knows the general concepts of driving as stated in the Drivers Manual provided to a 16 yr old during his exams. They lack the ability to STAY OFF a pedal and coast CUZ they think a car is only a GO or STOP funtion. They tend be oblivious to all circumstances outside the vehicle (insert iPod and Text Messaging here)

3) The Mechanic. Not talking ASE cert, but a very knowledgible towards many features of the vehicle and how they should sound while in operation. Can actually live WITHOUT copholders in a car. This person tends to have a subtle amount of upgrades within the vehicle to enhance his driving comfort or enjoyment. Can ride with much more confidence knowing that the tools he has left on the floor board may actually help him get out of a jam if the car gives him trouble. (lol) He will not buy EVERYTHING NEW to achieve a desired result.

the first two will GLADLY pay an exorbitant amount of money to have the "new car smell" along with a peace of mind they they got till at least 100,00 miles before something bad goes wrong then it's time to hit the RESET BUTTON on monthly bills... so burn those miles up QUICK!

Most of us here should N_O_T NEED a definition of the 3rd guy, cuz it's BEING that guy is what brought you to this site. So we can ALL say we're rather resourceful.
