The Olds 88 was my dad's goto car. He had several over the years. They were boat like, but I agree, the ride was so smooth.

I have never purchased a new car for myself. My wife has, but mine have always been used or program cars. Right now I'm driving an 20 year old Econoline van. I'll drive it until it dies and get another used. Thinking a F150. I need the hauling ability.

Mrs icopus gets the new cars and then they are handed down to me as the work car... except for this last used car I got because we weren't ready to sell hers yet; A reconditioned 2012 Honda Civic. When will I ever learn?!? Runs well, but it's very old looking and ugly. Well, maybe it suits me. :rolleyes:


It's my life and I'll get pissed if I want to.

What do you mean, it was a great car. Got me my first real job as a VW mechanic at our local Texaco. I saw the car after he finished it. It looked great.

You said you bought the VW for $100 and sold for $100,000 3 years later ($100k):-:twisted::-D:-D

I was beginning to think he should negotiate our 3 vehicles, our home, and pets.
I almost put 'wife', but since this is online, you never know.

He would probably feel extremely guilty about his previous indiscretions and take it out on your belongings. I'll give you $20K for the house, to do my part.

Let me sleep on it and I'll get back you. Be sure to check this thread every hour for my decision.

You got that all out of her snoring in your ear? You have been married a long time.
