This post was such a rousing success the last two years that I just had to do it again this year. And because I am a glutton for abuse from Usenetizens, I'm cross-posting this into my "home" newsgroup, (geekiest post ever, my big ol' butt!).The Most Boring On-Topic Post *Ever* (Part III)!I purchased my 2001 GT Coupe for $24,861.38 on October 31, 2001.

Jim, will you go give him a massive wedgie? I mean, yeah, I was a D&D geek in high school and all, but if Max's uber-anal cost-per-mile doesn't deserve a swirlie, then nothing does.
