I've always wondered why people of modest means purchase a new car in the first place?

I dated a girl once who bought not 1, but 2 brand new Chevy Aveos. She spent way more than I did on my Acura TSX. It didn't have AC. She'd drive around in a bikini in the summer.

Wonderful gal, but if I'm combining a bank account with someone, they've got to make good decisions on the big purchases. The underlying reason I broke up with her is that anyone could persuade her to do anything. Sounds fun, but nothing is without a cost.

Also, anyone willing to date a felon clearly makes poor decisions.
