Do you have to ask? If so, I worry about you.


8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

How fast exactly? Also how much did you pay? Did you pay in rates? or in cash? Was it money you earned for yourself? Do you sell drugs? Where do you live? Whats your social security number? Do you like ice cream?


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

We are gong to do the siding on the house ourselves so with the extra $ we have left I get an new car. This is the best "newer car" I have ever had. An American car with just enough German Engineering. I used to be a Euro car mechanic. Wish I had a old Mercedes 240C with a 1982 5.0 in it!!!!

I don't hate the car yet, but I don't really like it either. It's quite ugly too, but at least it's not some common boring car. The only Charger one could buy is one from the '60. How much did you pay for it, anyway?

That's one ugly looking car, maybe the pic is just too small to judge. How much does such a thing cost?

What's fuel at in the US right now? With our prices I'm pretty darn happy that my car doesn't go below 30 mpg even with the most aggressive driving possible Neutral

That was the US price converted to Euros you dummies. It's around 1.50 here as well (I cheat by fueling up across the border, save 10 cents/liter Troll Face).

It's a combination of 20% VAT, import taxes, and car companies charging more simply because they can.

Getting cars that are not sold in Europe to legal is always more expensive than buying the nerfed model from local dealers Razz
