ParticipantThat’s a pretty flagrantly skin-tight dress. What is that thing, made of purple gauze with a slip underneath?
Hell, I would have looked and I’m a hetero grrrl. Some sights just grab your eyeballs and mug them.Now if he had said something lewd to her, that would’ve been over the line.

ParticipantWhich is why…
I will be hanging onto my ’94 Corolla til it drops.
And also because:
>It’s still in good shape, inside and out
>It’s paid for
>State license fees are CHEAP
>So is car insurance
>Gets as good a mileage as anything new on the road outside of a Prius
>I’ve grown fond of the body/interior style and haven’t found another car I like as wellI wind up spending several hundred a year on it for various amusingly-unheard-of repairs (still less than a monthly payment). Stuff like new contacts for the starter (the old ones simply wore down to nubs); new bushings for the brakes (not pads, I am into the 3rd or 4th set of those already); 2nd set of spark plug wires…
I suppose there’s some actuarial/accounting/depreciation/etc reason why this makes it “more affordable” for me to buy a new car instead, but I just don’t see it. I just look at my cash flow into the car and that seems just not that bad.

ParticipantI agree, when you trade them around like this they become a kind of security.
Also, given the cluster-[censored] that our state budget process is, I think the risk on these things is underestimated and even 85% of face value is too much to pay.
If the 2/3 rule gets abolished, anybody sitting on a wad of these could be sitting pretty though.
