Also: terrible credit, can only get stuff at places willing to overlook that in favor of gouging.
edit: and obviously combined with the reasons Gohan said instead of just not buying something they can't afford.

They're certainly not very expensive either. 50 bucks a week for a decent car would be a reasonable deal for some people. Sure they're getting screwed but sometimes you gotta take a dick to get by.Quote:

Here's a vid from last year's event taken from my friend's STi. I get in the frame around the 4:40 mark (silver civic si).
Does anyone have any recommendations for good/trustworthy Minivans? I think the time has come for the girlfriend to trade in her car towards a Van. Not really looking for anything NEW, but something from like 2000-2006. I know some of you out there have some, help a brother out :)
How big a van?Quote:

Mazda 5 hands down.Quote:

How big is your family to justify a Club Wagon?Quote:

It was not uncommon to haul a little over 3 tons with one on any given weekend. One of the more interesting trips was hauling an old M135 back home with one.

My dad would still probably use one as a main vehicle had gas not gone up so much. They aren't horrible to drive for weekend labor at 2-3 a gallon. But at 4-5 a gallon, its murder on the wallet.
Another nice bonus with them is that you can usually get them pretty cheap out of Jackson and Memphis when hotels retire them. They rack up very few miles on simple city driving.
