“Kid” life crisis.

Grow up Len!

Abby’s talking AT him not TO him.

Sounds like a pre-midlife crisis.

I can remember when it was common to trade a car off after 10 years. It was figured that you’d start having trouble after about 100,000 miles which was roughly 10 years. Now, it is nothing for cars to go over 200,000 with no trouble. Our newest one, (the everyday rig) is an ’09 model and still doing quite well. Come to think of it, we bought it used some years back. I’m not sure we’ve bought a new vehicle this century. ;)

After selling a house in 2019, we bought two new cars to replace a 2005 and 2011, each with over 120K miles. And they’re sporty. A little over the median price for cars, from what I’ve read.

I’m still in sticker shock on how Arizona charges for registrations. It’s a real disincentive for buying something nice.

Then again, so is depreciation.

Good you should as Lennie. Because any new car becomes your wife’s car.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

He wants…she doesn’t…in the end…who wins?

My son’s just paid off his truck… He hasn’t done that in like forever…. Now it’s a matter of keeping his line of sight away from dealers

Yeah.

My ex husband wanted to go and buy another vehicle after we just paid off the truck. I told him no, let’s wait a coupe of years first. Turns out my instinct was correct because I ended up with the truck when my life changed.
