Should we take the money??

I’m risk averse….
When a child waives at me and says hi, I say hi and turn away quickly. Don’t want the parents to accuse me of being a pervert. Just happened in the elevator.

They’ll accuse you anyway, since you obviously have a guilty conscience. Can’t win 🙂

I personally would not buy a new SUV for safety reasons. I’d buy one if I could easily afford one and wanted one.

But really? An SUV is the same price as a condo investment in Vegas.

spd, I did buy in what I would consider the “ghetto/hood”. But like you said, it’s not all that bad. Just choose carefully and know the areas.

There is no denying that an older car is more apt to break down…that’s what drives the decision, not the trappings of middle-class prosperity.[/quote]

Older cars do break down more… but stranded on the road is an old urban legend more reminiscent of the 1980s.[/quote]

Yeah, an urban legend.

“According to California Highway Patrol officers at the scene, a Nissan was stalled in the roadway when it was rear-ended by a second car. “[/quote]

I rarely look at the car crashes in the news, but here is another death I stumbled across from a car broken on the freeway just a few months later.

Another Nissan – 2002-2006 Nissan Altima
