hehe... some time back, our Cisco SE took me out for a lunch. She was driving a 2008 Accord and said she regretted buying that car - a Lexus would be more appropriate.

I told her - it depends. On the sales side, many of of the cisco reps drive lexuary sporty cars or convertibles. Our ex- cisco acct manager drove a porsche . She could still feel bad driving a Lexus. There is just no end to go after that. By the time we came back to my company parking lot - I showed her a red Caravan and a 20-year old MB. One car is a 2nd line manager's, the other is the ex- director's car in my group. So, never mind.. It could be a culture thing. Someone, especially in sales or consulting needs luxary car for the business requirement. For me, there is just no need.

I bought my first car in 1996 when we both in a university in the US, Ford Taurus 1989. Original owner was an old, nice local lady, the 1st owner of the car, and her son was a mechanic.

The big, gray American car was like a close buddy of us, we drove it to New York, the first long trip ever in the US, picked up our first baby from hospital, .....never had any problem. I remember the biggest payment for it was $400 something for replacing brakes, a routine maintenance.

In the end, there was a little hole at the driver side door, and graduation was close, I at first negotiated with a dealer to a better deal to buy a new car, he asked for $200 to trade in, but I strongly believed it should be worth much more(!), so I refused the deal, give it free to a good friend who was still studying in the school.

So my suggestion: If you really like you current car, and at the same time, a new car is needed, send it as a gift to whoever needs a car as a start badly, but the pocket is still not that deep.

If someone judges me by the car I have, by the house I live, by the work I do, by all those externalized material appearance one can easily posesse or dispose of, hehe...I am cool. -mikesmith(老猫); 2009-4-20 (#5206242@0)

这个世界很多事是为别人做的，不是吗？衣服，房子，你做的任何事有一半是给别人看的。老兄，以你的智慧，有些东西就不要太固执了，能做到的事何必让人瞧不起呢？开烤肉怎么可能COOL呢？ -corvette(烤饭); 2009-4-20 (#5206756@0)

Oeky mikesmith I am still your fans even you drive a 烤肉, but I agree with 烤饭 to drive a 烤肉 is not cool. -zixstudio(what's SSH?); 2009-4-20 (#5206946@0)

2000烤肉，不至于吧。我2000年买的1997烤肉（和你类似，当时移民1年，儿子6个月，搬进耗厮，考过G2, need a car no matter what，认识的人人建议2手铐肉是神选）上个星期路上冒烟了，休息半小时冷却，开到车铺，换个radiator，美好如初。。。接着买菜 -duoshaosuanshao(不多也); 2009-4-20 (#5206784@0)
