Dare I say I might be growing up????
If this is strictly to keep ongoing expenses down, do the math. Current Car payment + Gas + constant repairs(including routine maint, tires, etc) = New payment + Gas + maint (warranty repairs + wear items) = If it's about having a new car, that's got some value as well. Peace of mind and a little fun has value in life. If you think your Jeep or Subaru is going to be expensive to maintain, you're better off just taking the hit and taking what they'll give you. Leaving maint. off all vehicles, but based on car payment, insurance, and gas on Jetta, and Gas and insurance on the jeep it works out to be about the same. So I would hope the Maint, on the Jetta would be cheaper so long run Jetta is cheaper.

so torn with what to do. I've been without a car payment for 2 years now and its quite the magical thing. To think I'll have a 250 dollar payment again kinda sucks. Decisions decisions buh

Inline Vs Sidelock
I just shot a thompson over the weekend which is an inline, and I've never shot a muzzleloader before in my life before taking my hunting safety course, and I thought the thing shot great.

yeah when i have money and am not forced to drive my play toy everyday i will be getting another jeep and another fast car. In the time being, its the grandpa mobile that gets 50 mpg. Little downside, they said over the phone they would only give me 3500 to 4k for my wrx as a trade in, I laughed and said I would get back to him. They have it listed at 14,800 I'd like to get them down to 14,000. Taxes and tags brings me to a little over 15k. If I'm not trading in, we'll just say I can muster up 1k to put down on the car. That'll put my car payments at 275 which isn't where I wanted to be. It still wouldn't be bad as I'd still be paying the same month to month from the jeep to this now but I was really hoping to save money. So it seems I need to sell the WRX first and then move forward with a purchase. Unfortunetly this one will probably be gone by the time that happens. Decisions decisions decisions. Does anyone know if say I take a loan out on a car now for 14k, and in 3 months I sell the car for 7k, would I be able to go to the bank and say listen, can I give you this 7k and you can adjust my payments for the rest of the loan, or would I actually have to go and do a sort of re-fi on the loan in order to get a new payment amount???

troy i hear you about the audi's. My brother has an audi and its the biggest piece of crap i've ever had to work on. Just to replace the downpipe was a 3/4 day affair. The germans do some funky engineering. Now what I don't get is, Audi and VW owned by same people correct??? my brain is a little flakey today but I think I'm right. Now audi everyone has problems with, vw on the whole i don't hear as much breaking down as audi's. Also the diesel vw's compared to the gas vw's are completely different in reliability as well. Called this dealership this morning, one guy wasn't in, waiting to hear back. If i don't hear back by the time I'm out of class, I am going to call again. And you guys can take any topic and go to left field off topic with it.

yeah i can't justify driving a 98 cherokee and spending 450 a month in gas plus maintenance when i can drive an 06 have a small car payment and a much cheaper gas bill, and still be paying less a month that I was before.

Big shout outs to Mauser and TBtrout
Excellent, sounds like we'll have quite a few North guys going down. We gotta show these South guys that when a event happens, you actually have to show up to the event, and not back out last minute

You have no idea how long I've looked for a gulf (less gayer of a vehicle in my opinion) and they are impossible to find. Also if you find them, they are priced at 5k more than the Jetta. So I just said screw it, and I think I'm just going to get the Jetta. My buddy has the exact same car I'm going to look at, just different color, and the worse mpg he ever got was 38 around town, but I do all highway, he says 50mpg consistently won't be hard. If that was the case, it'd bring my gas bill to about 100-150 haha

Thanks, I think The firearm community seems to be full of people wanting to help fellow shooters. This forum is no exception. I read countless posts on here from a lot of members offering to help or teach someone else. It is a testament to the character of all of our members. I am proud to be a part of it. Then you get people like me, that just help others spend their money

Dare I say I might be growing up????
So this is kinda scary. Dare I say I might be growing up and being more serious about life. Sooooooo now thats I'm back in school and driving to Newark 5 days a week, my gas bill has sky rocketed to about 450 dollars a month. And well thats pretty much out of control. Also I seem to be getting to the point where I no longer enjoy working on the vehicle I need to drive everyday so thus started my quest for a replacement vehicle. So my buddy has had an 06 Jetta TDI for almost 2 years now and for the past 2 years I have laced into him with every joke imaginable about driving a Jetta. And guess what I am going to go look at tomorrow. Yes a Jetta. I just found one literally 7 miles from my house on Hamburg turnpike, within my price range, with less miles than I was looking for, with every option that I wanted. So now I am going there tomorrow to see what kind of laughable price they will give me on a trade in for my WRX as I don't have cash to put down to hold me over until I sold both vehicles. So wish me luck, and damn this growing up crap

I'm looking for like the 15 dollar range. It can be had, its just difficult to find. And I don't need hollowpoint thus helping to get closer to that 15 dollar range Matt, check effingers. they had 500 and 525 round bricks between $20 and $22., otherwise, walmarts in Pa and NY now carry 333 round winchester bricks for $10. havent shot them yet. Last weekend Mark and I went to Walmart in NY and I picked up those hollow point winchester 333 packs for 9.10 that was pretty awesome

I just want it to be known
And I'm finished!! Got another bow from another friend that fits me better, went and picked up some arrows tonight. Geez 40 bucks for half a dozen arrows, thats insane!! Then tomorrow a friend of my fathers who use to shoot competitively is going to teach me to shoot bow. And my booklet is done, and all 3 practice exams finished, so I'm ready to go. I don't know why I'm doing all of this when I have the NY license I can just take the shotgun hands on for my CCW but I'm an over achiever YAY

THE HILLBILLY VASECTOMY
NAH - the hill billy is obviously white therefore any jokes directed at him are perfectly fine. :roll: The cues from the story make it obvious... He drinks beer from a can Even though they're cousins, they're actually married All 11 kids are with the same woman There, one more sin I'll need to be forgiven for next week. Stop tempting me. I only have limited will power, and I'm using it all up trying not to verbally abuse Matt for the next few days. Now why in the world would you want to take a couple days off from that????
