RE: Show us your ride!
The issue is maintenence cost. We lived in Bowling Green, KY where they are assembled. Everyone on our neighborhood worked at the plant and my dad and I have always considered Corvettes to be mid life crisis cars. However when he changed jobs he lost his company car (a 2014 Explorer) so he had to get something. We looked at VWs Audis and Fords. I almost had him sold on a Roush Stage III Mustang. But when looking at the cost to own one for 10 years (how long he usually keeps a car) anything European for $55,000 to $60,000 was at least twice the cost. We loved the S4 and S5 we test drove but heaven forbid you break something haha. One last thing we talked about how this is the most expensive item he has ever purchased. He has been working since he was 16 and is 51 now. He said this car cost him as much as the first house he bought in 1988. It was so cool to think about how hard and long he has worked to even get a car like this. Makes me proud to say it's ours. Now I have to get one before I'm 50 to beat him haha. And I digress more my family has been here for 4 generations and has come from literally absolutely nothing. Just an awesome story.
I'm really excited to drive it we talk everyday for almost an hour about things with the car. I've never heard my dad so excited about a car. And he's had nearly 200. We are going to some corvette driving school and track day too. I just hope he's not too mad when I set a faster lap time again(I did in the mini haha) RJ what market are you in that has a 2013 Ranger?!?! I love Rangers! We stopped getting them in 2011 Here's how the roof nicely fits ![]() |
