      Hey Scotty, I live in the Newport, RI area, and I've got a Nissan Sentra 05 with a broken spark plug with the threading still threaded into the cylinder. Now I heard of the easy-out tool, and I was going to use one, but I bought the wrong easy-out and got it stuck in the threading. Now I am at a wall and need help. I really enjoy my car and would like to keep using it until I absolutely need a new one. What should I do because no mechanic will look at it for me?

    The median US salary is $56,000. Keep that in mind when considering the cost of any vehicle. Also, a good rule of thumb, as per Dave Ramsey, is never buy a vehicle worth more than half your annual salary. So your average American should never buy a vehicle that costs more than $28,000. And if everyone actually took that advice to heart, prices would start dropping.

      I’ve thought about this and you maybe correct in a way but it’s fine to buy a vehicle that is worth as much as a full year salary because that’s why payment plans exist. If you love the vehicle, who cares, that’s what leases are for, you can always give it up at any point.

    Scotty, that's not a Jeep, that's a four wheel drive Fiat. I have a 1995 Wrangler, I paid about $15,000 when I bought it new. It's a 6 cylinder (they also made a 4 that year) and now has 369,000 miles on it. I had a new engine/transmission put in at 325,000, due to wear and the rear seal was leaking. Roll up windows and the old leaf spring suspension. Gets 19 mpg on the highway! I've kept it up, but it's has been the best vehicle I've ever owned and many parts like the starter are original after 28 years. Sure, the suspension is a little stiff but it's a Jeep!

    2. Its governor is at 99mph, since many customers would have their Wranglers fitted with mud-terrain tyres, and mud-tyres are rated for 100mph only. (The all-terrains as fitted to the car in the video, are rated for 112mph / 180kmh)

    What’s funny is a lot of these people that say “I want something I can drive anywhere” “I want something to off-road easily” are the same people who live in the suburbs. Where are you off-roading? “Oh well I’m good in the winter then” Yeah so am I with my little AWD sedan and winter tires, never in an accident and always confident in any weather. 80k sheesh.
