Conversation between me and W this morning.

K4D: How much do you want to pay to the credit card?
W: what's the minimum i can pay?
K4D: $34
W: what's the balance?
K4D: $1,109.29
W: $200
K4D: Ok
W: since i'm probably buying a new car this weekend or week
K4D: Maybe you should look at getting something more reliable, cheaper, and economically better right now than a kia
W: how do you figure?
K4D: You can always trade it in later when you are in a better situation
W: i can get a new one for $14K
W: gets great crash ratings
W: and i can get 100% financing
K4D: You could also get a car for 7k like a toyota corola or something
W: what is your deal?
W: if i do that, i have to put down a down payment
W: i obviously dont have a grand to do that with
W: or i'd fix the damn thing
K4D: Just trying to give some practical advice
W: so you're telling me you don't think i'm being practical
W: thanks
K4D: Not with buying a brand new vehicle right now
W: with payments at $200 and not putting money down, that's not practical?
W: i should instead try to pull $1K out of my ass and pay the same monthly
W: that's what you're telling me?
K4D: Did you check the long term reliability and maintenence with the kia in consumer reports? Also gas milage compared to an economical car?
W: i need to focus on cost right now kevin
W: and yes, to qualify for the cash for clunkers, it has to get a minimum of 5-10 mpgs more than the van
W: now, i didn't ask for your opinion. so please stop
W: i'm aware that you think so little of my opinion
W: thank you for confirming it over and over again
K4D: I don't think little of your opinion. Was just trying to offer a helpful alternative
W: i can get a minimum of $7K off a new vehicle.
W: i'm probablly not going to own it til its dead
W: i just need no down payment.. little monthly payments that is safe
W: and obviously i'll pay for less in gas b/c it has to get better milage to qualify for obamas program
K4D: But a kia versus a toyota or honda?
W: alright... this is talking about more than the kids
W: bye

Kevin
