a used Camry or Accord, you could drive those forever. I see them on the road all over the place.

And you don't have to take some long week vacation with your dad. Make it a long weekend. I don't know his health, but spending that extra time in the car is good too, along with the vacation. Eating out, seeing places you two have never seen... things like that make it more special in the long run.

I spend every free moment working on my book which I'm planning on launching within the next two months. I'm preparing to sell my low mileage GTO (I own it, just want out of it while the market is still fair for the car) for a beater so I can bank money for the downpayment on my Camaro next year. Everything just feels overwhelming lol How do you guys generally deal with that feeling(s)?
I'll buy your gto. I wanted one for the longest time ever.

We are actually going out tonight to eat. My niece got the honor roll (again) So me, my sister and him are taking her to celebrate. I think I'll plan us some fishing outings as soon as spring sits in.

You guys should be reading the constitution. Then doing critical thinking and discussion on the constitution. Then quizzed on the constitution. But hey, what do I know? I walk alone on the boulevard of broken dreams.

I get much better fuel mileage than the A4 if that counts for anything. I averaged 27.9 From Atlantic City to my backwoods place of residence.
