that is true too.....BUT I would surmise many toyota, ford, accord, GM, etc owners tend not to bring their cars to dealership as much...& bring to indeps or jiffy lube for oil changes. The older cars are even less inclined to bring it to a dealership.

Yeah, a car is simply a tool to get from point A to point B.

Like many things, a tool to some, a hobby/interest to others.

Same with horses before cars; a tool to some and a hobby/interest to others.

As the consumer market all over the world shows, there are many people who view cars more than just a tool, so the car companies respond to this.

Don't start crawfishing now, own your ignorance and inexperience.
Hey pal, thanks for the lesson, and for being so informative, but maybe you should reread my post because then you'd certainly notice that I used the phrase "almost everybody" and not "everybody" as you are pretending.

You know almost everybody personally and can read their minds?

Neat-o!

Some people's free time is worth more than $70 an hour.

Nope. GT3RS, 4.0. Only like 126 are in the US, and they sold out before they were even made. Here's a similar one...

There isn't a GT2 RS 4.0. All GT2's have 3.6 liter engines.

Bullet dodged
Ha!

Well the good thing is that you weed out a lot of women .
