Why the hell would I buy a new car? I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Spyder (think convertible Eclipse) that just needs a new head gasket, and a 2004 F150 that runs like a top.

Thought about trading both in for something in the middle for fuel economy, towing and hauling, but I'm not seeing anything tempting.

Fuck 'em. Either prices drop or I stand pat.
