What made you sell/partout your DSM?

[scheides]

To this day I'm not sure why I sold my 1G. Because I bought my 2G I suppose; I was having some maint issues with the 1G and was kinda iffy on it when the 2G landed in my lap so I jumped on it.

The best story I have is when I bought my evo8. I had the 2G for idk, 40k miles over a few years and lots of stuff kinda crept up on me. A/C worked great but whenever I ran it the car would over heat. This problem was KILLER for my wife. Add to that some other misc issues I had and endlessly trying to fix the overheating problem, turbo blew up and at one point i was spending $500/month on the thing just to keep it on the road it seemed, plus the car payment. I didn't care, I LOVED the car! I had paid around $9k for it IIRC and it was worth around that with the mods I had on it.

Well I got a new job and had to drive more and more and more and was shopping like crazy for a second ~$10k car, an A8 or something to ease all of the commuting miles i had ahead of me. I test drove 3 cars and my wife Anna laid out some hard numbers for me:
Monthly payment on DSM + Monthly payment on Car#2 + Insurance on 2 cars
vs
Monthly payment on a lightly used Evo + insurance for it.

Jaw dropped but I loved my 2G so much I said no! It overheated one more time after that. It got so hot it melted one of the fans right off of the radiator (no idea how). I test-drove an IX that night at Brookdale and if they would have found me a black SSL I would have bought it; I got my 05 evo8 SSL two weeks later from a local seller. Wingless and all!

How I got my X? Well, they call me flips mcgee.....
