Well, wife and kids left......so I just bought a Vette!

[Times Roman]

mozeltof!
did you name her yet? lol


sounds like a great gift 4 your self <3

p.s. why would she care what you bought now that you 2 are threw? lol

because in a divorce, this liability or asset reduction is coming out of community funds

[redz]

Nice ride, I may be heading the same way with my wife. Don`t think I'll be buying a car seeing as I drive brand new Benz all the time.

[< <Samson> >]

The Camaro is a 98.

I used to to the Import thing, but not any more. I still like em', just love GM for some reason.

If I can afford just about anything though, AMG is where it's at.

[awms]

UMMM it might just be me.....but should you not make sure your kids education is taken care of and they have what they need before you buy a car?

[Times Roman]

while i was in afghanistan, ttold the woman she can buy any car she wants. she was renting a camero but decided on a more family vehicle. so i come home and start talking abouut getting a vet....

...she's like... i shoulda got the camero then!

yeah, ya shoulda. i said you can get any car. don't be talking like you are going to trade it in. i'm not paying for all that depreciation!!!

(I didn't get the vet, btw)

[Shol'va]

Hey guy, enjoy your vette! But just remember in the back of your mind you will always wonder if the chick/guy you are with is with you for you or the car. Of course if you don't care and are on a puss hound mission then all is well. Party on..lol

[Shol'va]

Now you just need to dig up a copy of Prince Me And My Red Corvette Song.

[Renesis]

awms the guy just bought a new vette shuddup debbie downer

Nice and 40 is not mid life anymore, 50 is.

Good age to get divorced, you can still pull the young chicks easily. Dont forget to update your facebook page with pictures of you and young hot chicks and make sure the ex still has access, that will piss her off more than anything except as said, making bank $$$. Just keep letting her see how happy and successful you are becoming now that she is gone and not holding you back.

Nothing wrong with having some fun but focus on being true to yourself and fixing yourself. Nothing wrong with being a little boastful and in your face once in a while though. lol

LOL, wife got a Mercury Mariner with all the bells and whistles but later saw a convertible BMW and said she wants one of those. I said sure after you get a good job, finish paying off the Mariner you can get what you want. In the mean time the next toy/car is mine; although I already have 3, Toyota Colrola 2008 comutter car, Dodge Dakota extra cab 4x4 PU and my 91 3000GT VR4 (Dodge version) twin turbo. I need a bigger driveway.

ummm..

No, Barry said higher education was going to be free... right after free healthcare for everyone..

or there's always school loans..

or they can work full time while going to school.. like most of my generation..

Shouldnt that be at least part of the ex wife's concern also? Why is it always up to the male to make sure the kids have food, clothes, school etc? She made the choice to leave and take the kids shouldn't she be responsible for the bills? No I dont know 100% of the circumstances but I think these things should be taken into consideration before someone packs up and moves out instead of assuming the ex husband must pay for it all.

I guarantee you divorce rate would drop but 50% or more if the rules where changed to there is NO such thing as spousal support or child support and whoever gets the kids has to pay for everything in regards to them. If the custody/visitation is 50/50 then you both pay 50/50. Divorce is almost always financially beneficial for the woman one way or another especially compared to what she had when she came into a marriage. I did say ALMOST. There are always exceptions to the rule.

this has always been the way I felt...the woman is usually given primary custody and hard to change if she isn't of very low moral character AND proven..I wanted the kids to be with me and know I'm a better parent but zero chance in Florida...agree with this post 100%

Didnt Bigdogg already state that he can afford the vette AND pay for kids, mortgage, etc.......

[lovbyts]

I can probably afford a vette and one for you also. Does that make me obligated to buy one for you? I think his wife wants to leave everything, take the kids and move away then she needs to pay the bills.

Like I said if this stuff was taken into consideration a LOT less women would be bailing but maybe a lot more men would? There are a lot of men who would not mind paying if they really got to be more part of the kids life or at least paying a fare share..

Ive been divorced and I got my kid and paid 100% of the bills.

I think it's BS when a baseball/basketball or someone rich has to pay $100,000 a month or something crazy like that also. If he got the kid would she have to pay him $100,000?

[Flier]

Congrats. I know it makes you feel good All that counts.
I´ve had a few Vettes., -65, -71, -72, and 2 -79s The coolest was the Silver -65 HT. Not much of a driver, but a real beauty.

[JohnnyVegas]

He didn't buy a new $180,000 Lambo...he bought a used Corvette. That doesn't mean his kids are all of a sudden starving and doomed to a life of failure.

Yeah man I know. I was getting his back as someone stated he should take care of that shit first, but he already stated that he has it covered financially. Thanks for the offer but I can afford my own vette!! lol

[JD250]

Well......considering what good buddies we are and all, I mean, you know, maybe obligated isn't the word you're looking for.......more like maybe you feel the urge to do something really nice for a pal......I'm just sayin....if it were red it would match my old jeep, you know how important it is to have your vehicles match, right......buddy.

[Bigdog99]

UMMM it might just be me.....but should you not make sure your kids education is taken care of and they have what they need before you buy a car?

UMMMMM....Kids are all set. Been saving since they were born. And I think I already said this.....the payments are not that much more a month and my insurance went down (dont ask me how that happened....I almost dropped my phone when my agent told me this)

[abstetic]

I get the kids pulling up next to me at the light in those things always feeling they've got something to prove. I just ignore them. The guys with the 911 turbos or M3's and other high end imports are the ones that just pull up quietly, but in a respectful way everyone knows it's game on.

Lol if I had porch money I wouldn't get a 911 I'd get a gtr or r8... Porches are nice but there more for cruising.. And showing you have money to spend and lol if you have a vett to I'm pretty sure my wrx would win Ilol awd vs rwd

I know, it's kind of crazy how that works. My wife's Lexus is actually has a higher rate than my Corvette.

Bigdog (anyone else), I have a few pics of mine in my profile page if you're interested, which shows the SC addition ...

Very Nice! Like the color. UR interior is WAY nicer than mine. After driving the M45 for so long... my Vette interior feels like a little bit of a downgrade.

[jasc]

What do you run in the 1/4 mile? 13's? I'm guessin Vetteman is somewhere around 11..
Your awd is sweet, I like those cars, but you talk about it like it's some supercar.. Ya you may beat their cars 0-30mph but when those tires stick.. bye bye

Lol wtf is with midlife crisis people and shitty American muscle cars...with no power.... If your going to go American get a viper at least.?

Because when people reach a mature age they wanna buy the car they grew up loving.. and by no power you mean 450hp plus? A vette is a class car.. If they were in highschool/young 20's maybe they'd buy a wrx..
Ever see a 50yr old guy pull up in a subaru thinkin he's sweet? ppl laugh.. especially the girls
If that same guy pulled up in a brand new vette the ladies would be lovin him.

[Brohim]

well you don't buy a vette for the interior. The motor and looks is what counts. You buy a cadillac or lexus you want a nice smooth ride and being all comfortable.

the reason people buy nice car's when there older is they can afford it. I'm sure if you could afford a vette at 20 every 20 yo would have one. That is why most guy's who have vette's are older. It's just how it goes. Having a vette at 40 is good. I don't consider 40 old at all.

[Brohim]

a vette looks 100x better than a wrx. Driving a wagon is just not cool. Plus if you lined them up at 60 the vette would put train lengths on the old sooby.

[Vettester]

That's the 4LT option interior. It was a $8,000 option at the time, presume its gone up. Like you, I was designing my mid life crisis.

Congrats on the new wheels bro.Hope you fill the jump seat soon

That is freaking awesome

[< <Samson> >]

Still no repla***ent for displa***ent

[gearbox]

Hilarious you think your wrx could beat a vet. Yours may hang with one till about 50. And think that some young guys forget is a muscle car or big motor one, gets faster past 100 mph not slower. I do like the wrx they are fun to drive and handle well.

[gearbox]

And couldn't agree more about why doesn't a woman have to pay for something she is causing. Its ridiculous and very sad for the children. I am 29 and can't imagine having to visit my son or daughter. But I do have a vet lol

[< <Samson> >]

STi's in some cases aren't a joke or some other cars.

I love GM muscle but there are rice rockets that give me a good run.

The only and only time I took my car to the strip I barely pulled on a STi Wagon. But there were others that were way quicker, I just got lucky.

Running against a DSM is a gamble, if built right they haul serious ass.

[Bigdog99]

First Test tonight.

Mission: TO GET LAID

I will let you all know how I made out

Go get some big
