Shreveport Times Caddo Commissioner Working On Contract For Elio Partner Shreveport Times One Cadd

[eddie66]

Wayne,

First, median U.S. house income in 2014 is reported to be $53k. So, 50% of all families haul in less than $53k. Second, the average price of a new car in 2013 according to Kelly Blue Book was $33k.

Now, while I hesitate to involve myself in the affairs of others, I really don't see where you are going with your comments about how Paul's strategy will fail if he makes a vehicle whose payment would be $150.28 on a 5 year loan at 7.5% APR (assuming total purchase price of $7500 to factor in financing to tax, title, and registration, credit score below 650 http://www.chemungcanal.com/home/personal/loans/auto/rates)?

There are a boatload (heck, a shipload - a whole convoy - supertankers worth) of people who (1) commute; (2) drive a used vehicle; (3) have $150 a month rolling around; (4) count pennies and hate spending money on gas. I was in the grocery store the other day and a guy who I had seen getting out of a vehicle that probably cost $10k was bitching about how the price of bread had gone up $0.10. Everyone has pride and those of lesser means want exactly the same stuff those of greater means do: a chicken in the pot, a working fridge, and their plot of land. In SoCal, these folks tend to drive extremely long distances because proximity to coasts and short commutes translate to housing prices well into the 7 digits.

You, sir, are an idiot if you are drawing the conclusion that this forum is representative of any group other than folks with time on their hands. People of tight means are for the most part working two jobs just to afford gas.

Nice try Tony, but Wayne has left the building. The only time he opens his mouth is to change feet, so rest assured he will interpret your post the way he sees fit, and comment upon his return. Let me refer you back a couple posts to Rule #2

Yup. My approach is to call people on their shots. Sometimes a wart will go away by itself - sometimes it is better to not let it slide. His comments were foolish, of course, but I am curious if he really had a point to make and just didn't articulate it very well.

Wayne just like to stir the pot, and has a tendency to put his mouth in motion before putting he brain in gear. But other than that, he's a pretty nice guy who can take a joke. Not a total troll.

Let's give this guy a break huh? He's wearing an f'ing orange vest not a pinstripe suit. If he orchestrated this deal knowing all he'd get would be orange vest and the chance to earn a few bucks inventorying equipment, he is the world's biggest combination of stunning visionary and utter knucklehead.

Extremely well said!

Growing up, My little brother was always in trouble. I constantly wondered why he couldn't (or wouldn't) behave. Not until recent years did I finally understand. There are some people who crave attention...good OR bad. It makes no difference to them. I have come to realize that most things that come from "Waynes World" are not much more that a cry for attention. So, I try to reinforce ("like") the (rarely) "positive" posts & ignore the...others. But for the sake of the newer members here, the ones who could be adversely influenced by the unfounded and baseless negativity, sometimes I reply. And I say "thank you" to the others who also try and keep the balance. And that's all I have to say about that.

No one is telling those folks to try to buy a 33K car THAT they can't afford.
When I said fail it was aimed at the Elio being built for those that could not afford a new car . Paul is pushing for saving on oil..
Sure some with limited funds will look at the Elio but I'm saying 85% will be sold to people who already own two cars.
He's in it for proffit and those that have and can afford will be the ones buying the Elio.
MOTHER HEN, did you get that?

85% as spoken from the all knowing mind of Wayne..
So let it be written, so let it be done.

Prove me wrong HOT SHOT. Your opinion is no better than anyone else's . But since you are a "YES" man you think it is.
I see both sides and only give my opinion not like you that thinks what you say is gospel.
It's not a black/white world like some of you KA's think it is.
You just can't stand it when someone disagrees with you, can you?
Disagree with me all you want, your right. I think it's funny.

Would you mind posting the source of that "85%" statistic? I will add that roughly 85% of the "chickens in this coup" are quite fond of Mother (Z) Hen.

If you have no facts you can just keep making it up to fit your opinion.
You see both sides and speak from both ends...
