Message	He owes over $9k on his lexus. I had no idea his 240 was totaled, in his first post he says his buddy is driving it. So why can't he drive it? He could sell his RX, and buy a Corolla, and use his car payment money for a camera. I thought he was asking about how to save some money, so he could buy camera equipment for a career. Not how to have car payments and rent an apartment for the rest of his life. ummmmm..can we just post about cars? (n/m) - College Boy 08:55:03 04/28/05
