There must be something badly wrong with this car. It looks like it's priced at least 50% of its retail value. If this has already been discussed here, I apologize. I must have missed it.

I think what's wrong is a lack of prosperity. I'd buy it but I'm always moving around the world. I read a shocking statistic this weekend. Here in Arlington VA the percentage of people making over $90,000 is over 40%. Adjusted for inflation the percentage in 1990 was only 10%.

That money is being sucked out of the rest of the country because nobody builds anything around here, they just play politics all day. As long as they can keep picking everybody's pockets, the country will continue to fall apart. Take a look at Cuba if you want to see where the USA is going to end up. That place is in ruins.

I think I would rather have the six because it is easier to maintain.
