I bought this Porsche 944 from a good friend.   I picked it up from his house and took it to a cruise night nearby.    Someone came up after we pulled in and asked me about the car.    He says, "So, how long have you owned it?"   My answer was, "Oh, about 15 minutes".   I wasn't lying.

Somehow I held on to the 74 Charger for 12 years (2001-2013). Longest Ive ever owned a car. Going on 6 years with the 08 Charger (Nov. '07 - present).

Well see how long I keep the Satellite...not intending on selling it anytime soon unless a) someone makes an offer I cant refuse and offers me a shit load of money for it or b) something unforeseen happens and I am forced to do so.

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Like when your wife tells you that you need to redecorate & get new furniture?

if it came down to being forced to sell the Satty for that reason, I'd redecorate the house with a new wife.

Good for you.   :cheers:

A good friend of mine had that happen to him. He had a Liberty Edition Harley that his wife said, "Had to go to offset the cost of the new living room & bedroom sets they desperately needed because the 2 year old stuff was looking outdated."  ::)

He sold it, took a loss on the bike & a year later took a loss on the condo, the furniture & more when he found her screwing someone else.
