If buying a car disrupts your life’s financial position you’re doing it wrong

And then there are the posers and frauds like "Ascend" who lied about owning a 997 RS and a Mercedes GTR.

Pathetic.

Yeah, consumer sentiment is a little better, but it's still historically low. Plus, it can change on a dime, such as concerns about job security. Layoffs are coming for more industries, spreading like a contagion from companies in tech, mortgage lending, etc. It sounds like you used to be on Wall Street - a few thousand Wall Streeters at Goldman Sachs just walked out of their offices carrying boxes, or did it figuratively from home. Or, if they survived the cuts, their bonuses are going to be significantly lower. Other Wall Street firms have either already done layoffs or will be. Big law firms are starting to do the same. I expect other industries will follow.

The difference about the potential recession later this year and prior recessions is that this one would be Fed-induced. The Fed WANTS job losses as part of its fight against inflation. The job market is still too strong for its liking, so that is why job loss is an inevitability.

Btw, it's not that I "enjoy" any particular poster's posts. Like I said, I want as many viewpoints as possible to think about in forming my own conclusions. I've factored in your posts about dealer allocations, so I'm using info that you've provided. It's all helpful. It's just that I can do without the vitriol and lack of tolerance of different viewpoints. That's this thread's downfall.

Anyways, I will go back to lurking. Thanks for hearing me out.

Ask "Ascend" about what it's like to LIE for 2 years about owning a 997.2 RS.

Pictures are coming any day now, right?

Hahahahahahaha!

There is no sense in even wasting time explaining my original messages, but this response does prove what I was stating in that people here are just nasty and mean spirited, as someone with 15 years of M&A experience, I do not need an economics lesson from rennlist "pal". I think that some people here are generally just angry with their personal life, and just need to be right about everything in their mind. Whatever it is, I hope the car brings you some happiness and is a good distraction from whatever else brings this type of behavior out.

15 years in M&A and advanced degrees!? Wow - tell us more!! Haha. Perhaps you should get your money back from those universities and your employer should try to claw back all compensation paid…

"In my opinion from what I have seen, I am placing more of the blame on dealers..." FYI that is the statement that got you so upset , me simply expressing an opinion and saying more of the blame, and not all. I also said this is based on what I have seen and what I am doing (placing blame), so this is a statement limited to my personal experiences, not yours, and it expresses what I am doing as a result of my personal experiences (placing blame). It has nothing to do with stating a fact. If you pay attention to the actual words and read it slowly, you'd understand how this is a different statement than what is in your tiny head in which you are claiming are "facts". This is something you can not even quantify. I highly doubt you know a thing about economics as you have proven you are unable to read and interpret the language. You would fail a high school reading comprehension exam based on your skill level. You really had to go nuts over something which was really not a definitive statement, and based on my personal experiences. You seem like someone who is very unhappy in life if you need to attack people for a statement like that. I can not imagine you having healthy personal relationships with that level of anger in you. Again, thanks for proving my point with your response.

This is going great

Removing/editing my response since the original wasn’t constructive
