I bought the bitch ! ! ! 

 

It's already lowered the right amount, running 15" wheels wrapped in some nice Toyo Proxxes. Needs some rust work, nothing serious, only surface damage. Engine needs a tune-up, seems to run a little rich and a bit rough at idle after the long drive. But it drives excellent and it's not cold under the soft-top

Sweet. Gonna have to throw some pics up once you get situated with it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

I'm going "plane spotting" with a female friend in the weekend and I'm taking the Miata

Hooray diesel EGR systems. I'm so glad I don't have an EGR on the Jeep anymore

The more I do this job, the more I hate it. Time to start hunting again, especially after tonight.

Wife drive a stick?

[S.DeYoung 968]

Not a big Vette guy, but I'd nab a C7

[S.DeYoung 968]

Leaves room for power additions

Sean will say a Rossion Q1, but I think a new one is over 100k by a little.

[MKader17 332]

For instance, if you make $100/yr but pay $42/yr in taxes would you put $5 in an HSA to still pay $42/yr in taxes?

 

Probably late, but if you make $100 that is taxable and put in $5 to HSA then only $95 is taxable.

 

I assume you very well know this.... Are you trolling us? lol

budget not set in stone. Automatic would be better for her.

I'm buying this for the president of the company. Not for me.

If it was for me I would grab a c6 zr1. Not much feeling the c7 yet. Maybe after I drove one though.

[MKader17 332]

Sean, there should be a difference between tax deductions and taxable income.

 

There isn't anyway that the government can stop you from lowering your taxable income.

[stevemead08 752]

He was looking at the new jag or Porsche 911. I'm not a big fan of either. I suggested an R8 but they go in the upper 100k range.

[MKader17 332]

I recently read an interesting part in a book where a guy who owned multiple houses for rental properties showed how he used that and his kids to greatly reduce his taxable income. Really interesting.

Miata is always the answer

hard to argue with a 911 cabrio

especially for a weekend track car

Not if your tax liability remains the same. Bracketing is stupid.

I know how it works. And it doesn't. Pre-Obama it did. Alone in his nonsense over the past 3 years I have lost almost $35k worth of income.

Problem again is new. FUCKING STUPID. In particular for a 6 digit car. They all fall like fucking rocks.

A very mildly used Gallardo is under 100k.
