PL..thanks for all that info. My noggin's are a bit rusty when it comes to finances. I can't even balance my check...that's how bad it is

When you get a chance, can you PM me on how to get started on stocks and the company you mentioned, like how much money do I need and all the stuff that the amateur needs to know, if you don't mind

Thanks!

CJ, I will look into the model year you suggested..thanks, bro!

If its "fee money to burn" how about a Porsche 944?

yah, I thought about it but, I'm not a mechanically knowledgeable guy...I'm more of a "Get In, Drive it like you stole it, Wash car every other weekend, Wax it seasonally" type of a car owner

CJ, those cars, most of them are way out of my budget although they are classic according to Auto Trader.

Finances and investing are two different things. I'm pretty good at investing and uh not so good at managing my expenses and bills. If I wasn't good at investing and trading I might be in poor house. While on the other hand some people I know are very good at managing their finances and are TERRIBLE at investing their savings.
You should talk to a certified financial planner or contact Vanguard and tell you want to set up a monthly investment account and an IRA or ROTH if you don't already have one.

Gerry,

Here's another suggestion :

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=246025434&dealer_id=9434025&car_year=1999&model=&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&start_year=1996&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&sownerid=613571&make=ACURA&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=94583&advanced=y&end_year=2009&doors=&transmission=&max_price=5000&cardist=14

Looks pretty nice. Not sure if I would buy a car with 189k miles though ( even if it is an Acura )...
