Ah, but you are wrong, butt breath.

Being a mouse, you'd know that my butt smells as minty as my mouth. I almost feel sorry for you for having to look up at my butt all day long in hopes that I might draw a few crumbs of cheese on the floor.

PS: I hope you aren't being offended. I'm only joking with you spookyturtles.

now do the housing calculations - mom and dad bought a house for 35k in 1974.

That would be between $150K and $333K. Middle of the road = $241.5K

I guess you've never experience the adrenalin rush of 500hp?

kinda hard to get that outta of a toyota

Horsepower is for haulin. Torque is for going fast.

Torque gets you moving, hp keeps you moving.

I'll pass on the $800/month car payment to save $100/month in gas.

You know what they say about a fool and his money....

I only have a Hyundai Elantra. I used to also have an old Honda Civic. A 4 cylinder Civic that is finely tuned can out accelerate most bigger, sports cars like the Mustang.

FTW!

FTW!

...which has neither horsepower nor torque....but decent gas mileage.

yeah maybe with thousands of dollars worth of mods.

Agreed. And it's reliable, I've had mine since 2006 so far not one unexpected trip to the mechanic. I had an Accord for about a decade prior to the Elantra and I could not say the same for that car.
