Somethings wrong with the electrics So I have to charge it every 2 days else it wont start.
Maybe worth buying a reliable cheap used car or fix the starting problem? It probably would be nice to have a car starts reliably...

Haha. A wise decision.
A rolex is for life, not just for Xmas.
Cars, well they come and go.

WoW, What a odd comment, I would say 90% of the board drives crap cars then by that logic. My 9 year old Lexus must be crap since I haven't sank a dime into besides a water pump ,timing belt ,and oil changes.

I really don't need any new watches, so now I'm saving up for a new car, which I won't get until the one I'm driving bites the dust and no matter how much I have saved up, it's highly doubtful that I will spend more than $30k.

yeah guys, im not changing my statement.. not because i am trying to show off or something or what liuk3 said.. but uhm i live in a country whereas the car price is almost double the price in the united states / overseas.. so in another perspective, my statement also equal to "any car below usd 25k is a crap car.. "

and yeah i have high standard.. :)
