i realized this reply on another thread would've hijacked it so decided to start my own on this topic......
because it's the american way, man! lol....we just get that warm fuzzy feeling...our brain suffers from a lack of oxygen & stops working for just a little bit and BAHM! we're hooked and bringing that sucker to the house...woohoo...
i already lowsided my brandspankin new 7k bike...only made 1...count em 1 payment on that f*cker...but its mine...i can do that...some ppl, like me are just that way...i wanted to know mine was the first ass that ever touched the seat...and i knew i'd probably drop that bitch...and it would suck...but so what..it's all fixable...its my bike, my money...and so what if i'll be riding around with some blemishes for a little while...(a used bike is going to have em too)
my hubby is enlisted military...and while we are on a pretty tight budget here...some folks aren't....who cares what others do with their money...it's theirs...i didn't want to ride someone elses POS that who knows what is wrong with it...i'm no friggin mechanic...lol...besides...a lot of dealerships have financing available that you can hardly say no to...
i for one am GLAD i didn't buy a used bike...now, please don't flame me...i'm not talking engine size here...just strictly used vs. new....
some of our parents just spoiled us a little too much..lol..and gave in to our demands and wishes a few too many times...and now in our adult lives...we want what we want....and we just simply don't care that it's not the most practical thing to do....
it all boils down to this...we were all raised differently with different outlooks on how/when/where/and what to spend our money on...some ppl think credit is the devil...some use credit like they use oxygen! some save....some don't...it's all just different strokes for different folks...
