[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[David Kase]

I should have prefaced my statement by saying that I buy Audi's /after/ 
the major depreciation hit.  I am driving a $40k+ (when new) 2001 S4 yet 
only paid 25% of the original cost.

As for the Chrysler minivan money pit, BTDT.  I had a couple Town & 
Country minivans as even the used Odyssey's were bringing big money.  I 
only kept them for a short time as I knew if they were 5 years old and 
had 100k on them they were virtually worthless.  Once all the Ody's came 
off lease the market was flooded with them.  I picked up one at a good 
price.  3 years later it has over 135k on it, is still going strong and 
holds a decent value.  Plus, it doesn't look like a crop duster going 
down the road (like a 135k mile Chrysler van does).

wishing I was bantering about P-cars instead of freaking minivans...yep, 
FU Paulie
also hoping for an MV Agusta Brutale under the Christmas tree this year...
