Nice. That ought to emit more greenhouse gas emissions than 47 poorly tuned 70's cars...plus some more.....
Bought this today!
I'm tired of poor quality mowers that don't cut and break all the time.
Another spending your rebate check....

That's cool. I could see the theraputic appeal to it, but I'd just rather not be bothered. One less thing for me to worry about.
I'm offsetting my carbon emissions by composting and planting a garden.
You were gonna do that anyways...
Agreed! I'm just happy to be by myself with not a care in the world out in the sun. Like being on a bike but at least when I'm mowing I'm also earning brownie points with the wife to be spent when I want to go riding. I'm also hoping this mower will help to free up a little more time.
If I mow my lawn in less time the mower is running less so I would say my emissions will be cut way down from the 4hrs it used to take me.You were gonna do that anyways...
My goof buddy bought a Saturn Sky Redline with his stimilus check...
now he only has to come up with the remaining 71 more months of payment now..

That is incorrect. Greenhouse gas emissions are based solely on the amount of fuel burned.
I believe you are trying to refer to particulate emissions, which has to do with the mower not having a catalytic converter. You are correct in that case.
Specifically the higher emissions would be hydrocarbons, CO, and NOx. This is the case even with motorcycles that have catalytic converters compared with modern cars.

No... I'm guessing that thing will get worse "mileage" than 47 poorly tuned 70's cars.
Wanna do my yard too
What are you going to do about the snow and any digging?
I thought you wanted a tractor?
Try a 6 year note Ace.. 72 months..
I did but they were 4k more with just a mower deck and I'm not willing to spend that. I have a sturdy older mower with a 42" snowblower on it that worked great this year for snow removal.Wanna do my yard too

that's what it is coming to.I realized that but man 6yrs on a car? Why not just get a 30yr car mortgage.
i agree, but it's all about the low low monthly payment.. no one cares that in 2 years they'll be upside down in it owing far more than it's worth... but that's good for dealerships who are more than happy to take it on a trade in and selling another car for another 72 months of payment.I realized that but man 6yrs on a car?

I test drove the Sky when they first came out. Little baby turbo is so cute, but it's only a 5 speed. And you can't even hit it with a mallet like you can on the older Saturns, what a waste.My goof buddy bought a Saturn Sky Redline with his stimilus check...

i just made a Stbx run with him & his car... talk about freekin' cramped! Small is ok.. but if you are over 5'5".. good luck... and if you are like me and 6'4", forgetaboutit...
It's more 'cute' than functional.
Doesnt even had a spare tire.. just an air compressor.
me either.. but then i put down at least 50% of the sales price and finance for 4 years max.. then keep it for at least 10 years and 240+k miles
My buddy is goofy as hell.. he just got back from a tour in Iraq and is flush with deployment cash.. he lives in a 2 bedroom ghetto house in the ghetto even tho he works as a lineman for south central Bell and make damn good coin. I offered to cut him a good deal on a new house but with this purchase, that is off the table... his note is $520.mo..
When I drove it, I had the top down. When we got back, I tried to put the top up and it damn near hit me in the head (I am also 6'4"). It looks cooler than the Solstice, but it's tiny.i just made a Stbx run with him & his car... talk about freekin' cramped!

I would have gotten a mower like Stosh

Ha! House V. Fancy Car
Fancy car FTW!!!!!!!!!!
the *average* car loan is now 70months (or was as of July last year) ...
holy crap, just did the numbers on that, and if he put down nothing, and just went with the standard GMAC financing for 72 months, he'd be paying $552/month at 9.25%. Jeez, that's a fun little car, but I think I would've taken you up on that offer of a good deal on a house...
edit - and just realized he's paying almost $44,000 for that car over the length of his loan!!
Wow, 70months. I'm BLOWN away.the *average* car loan is now 70months (or was as of July last year) ...

I NEVER in a million years would have guessed that was the case.
yep.. ZERO down and "$4k" in incentives..the *average* car loan is now 70months (or was as of July last year) ...

had a difficult enough of a time getting in the passenger side cuz the freekin thing is so tiny and my legs are long.*sigh*
but on the upside, he'll let you drive it, right??
pass.
You HAVE heard of the 50 year mortgages being slapped down in SoCal, right?
Yeah it's funny, when you compare a 40yr to a 30yr there is such a minimal amount of difference since the rate goes up for a 40yr I was wondering why in the world would anybody do it.
Difference gets bigger as the price of the mansion gets higher.
"Look Marge - we can afford the monthly payments on a 15,000sq ft place if we get a 50 yr mortgage!"
what's really sad is when you've locked into a 50 year mortgage for $800,000, and then suddenly your house is only worth $400,000. it's no wonder people are walking away from their homes...
damn, apparently I need to spread some before I give it.
