WOW.
for one...who the hell bargains for that 50 dollars and walks away? i mean seriously its 8 grand and you're worried about 50 bux? i woulda said fine here's 8k...give me the damn car.
did you really break up with someone over a car?
just curious...
He was hoping that I would give in as he walked away and drop it even lower. For me it was the princiiple; the car IMHO was worth more than $8k and even if he offered me $7999.99 i would have said NO. We chatted later a couple months later and he had MAJOR regrets of not buying my car.
In regards to the X I gave the short story so I wouldn't bore you guys. But this is how that conversation went as we were driving one day:
X: "I'm tired of this; it's either me or the supra's...take your choice"
Me: I pull over and put $2 and 1 quarter in her hand
X: "what's this for"
Me: "This bus should take you to the station; call your brother with the quarter and he can pick you up from there"
From that day on she realized not to $#%! with the Supra and actually started loving it...to the point that she would be pissed if it was down for 'maintenance'. Relationship ended years later for an unrelated reasons; but if it came to it I would have ended it there. I'm easy going but NOBODY makes me choose between my Cars and them...they will always loose. If I may rant: people see Supra's or cars as a seperate entity than the owner. But the way I see it my Supra's are an extension of me...Kill my Supra and you Kill me...take my Supra away and you've taken away a big part of me.
Peace!!
