:sissyfight: :wub: , I enjoy the content Max offers, consider him an alright dude and love that there is usually data points to back his claims. Don't think admins should be calling anyone here a-holes doe. We all seem like pretty great people Image
:word:

For what it's worth man, I love getting the "across the boarder" perspective from our Canadian member, DFD wouldn't be the same without you, I'd be :sad: if you ever left, that's for sure.

I also feel the same about Max. I think the guy sometimes stated his opinions like they're facts and some hear get offended by that, but I mean, damn it's the internet. I do the same thing, everyone does. The guy also uses sarcasm and most people don't realize that. I feel Max offers a lot to the forum and has actually helped me out with his pretty substantial wealth of car knowledge. Melon, Troy, and Max (and others here) have all helped me along my C5 journey with knowledge they've accrued. I also find Max's content makes me :lolol: at times, just don't take anything too seriously here. It's a forum about absolutely nothing, after all.
All :dat:
:wap: Where are these mangos?

It's 75% more than my Silverado was. That would have been a better "financial decision", but nowhere near as fun.

You could probably lease a ZR2 like mine for $400/mo if you shopped a bit.
Hmm I really don’t think so. Colorado’s are really rare ... especially zr2s. ... easily 500..
Maybe they're rare out by you, but around here, it's not out of the question. Just find a dealer that's been sitting on one and they'll want to :dill:

Food for thought !

You got a pretty low mile lease right ?
For ex local dealer has 400 Chevy vehicles .... 18 Colorado’s and 1 zr2 I don’t think he is ready to :dill: msrp is 45,695 too.

Yea, 10k miles/year...it's all I need.

My dealer only had one ZR2 as well. But it had been sitting for a while and they wanted it gone. MSRP was similar to that...pushing $46k.

I got $2k off on top of my employee discount...anyone could have gotten that $2k off. Without my employee discount, I probably would have been just over $400/mo (I pay $325/mo).

Older 911s are becoming more expensive than the newest ones. :mindblown:

Can't afford to not buy new is becoming true.

You need a raise and a new Jeep. Where the funk do you work Google Finance?? I know Waxer manages a world-wide workforce and his hours are crazy as well.

I don't know how you could possibly go wrong with this. USED ones sell for more (which is insanity, yes).

The page claims it's a "standard feature" under "standard features". I don't think they make many 4-doors without A/C...and those that get to CA DEFINITELY have A/C.

I'm kinda with :sawce: , I think I'd enjoy the :manuel: windows, mostly just people's reactions. If going two door I'd definitely get them, four door :notsure:

No power windows. Also 16” Steelies. But you can get 5 rubicunt wheels and tires and just bolt em on for around $800. $400 new lights and $600 for a new stereo. 31-32k all in

Yeah, cranking down 4 windows... :notsure:
That’s what happens at 29 otd for a new jku.

At 33k you can have power all the things. That stupid package is $3200

I wouldn't mind too much, but with the wife driving her ring would scratch the shit out of the door card. She already scratches it a bit already.

I did it for 6 years and it was fine, although the car was a two door... those back two would be a hassle... but I mean, given how difficult top removal is on any JKU, adding in 30 seconds to roll down the rear windows doesn't change much.
