I have watched several videos about the used car market lately. One video showed and example of a 2020 Rav 4 selling new for MSRP around $32K in 20. In 2021 it sold again for a little over $62K. Now I don't know what friggin moron would pay that much for a Rav 4 but that's beside the point.

When I was at the junkyard we got a no title one from a towing company and I sat in it . I immediately noticed the 110 volt outlet in the dash. They really nailed the dash layout in those cars.
My mom wants a newer Camry as in 16 to 19 because they really uglied up the new ones trying to turn a grandma car into a sports car. I'm not finding anything under $25K and those are miled up pretty bad. From there it shoots straight to $35K. ****, that's what a new 4 cyl LE costs.
That's a tight budget in the used market today. However if you dig around a little for the lesser knowns or best kept secrets you may find a gem.
Examples:
Pontiac Vibe, 4 door hatch geared toward young drivers years ago that was really a Toyota Matrix in a Pontiac disguise.
Geo Prizm and...
I'm almost at the point now where it's like my first marriage and there's enough guns laying around here that if I can just get it from the truck to the closet or sock drawer I'm good to go. When the wife asks about it I can just go " Naw, baby...that one's been here for years. You just don't...
I dig Burnt Bronze on some things but for this I think Titanium or Satin Silver. I would definitely want a stainless or matte stainless type finish on this pistol. BTW my other favorite candidate for this project would be a CZ82.
I miss having Star and Astra around as options in new guns. If I coupd find a deal on a Firestar it would be nice to add to the collection. Better yet there was a polymer frame version of it right before Star went under that I would really dig.
I kinda dig the 32 Long round. I have another RG snub chambered for it. I love cheap ugly snubs.
Anyway, I'll say it once again. The Star BMs always remind me of Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction " Normally your dumbasses would be dead as fried chicken. But I'm goin' through a transitional phase...
When you do find one go to ebay and score yourself a set of nice wood grips for it. Before I traded mine I put a set of noce walnut grips on it with stainless hex head screws. The grips were under $30.00 and the screws were under $10.00 all on ebay.
If I was skinnier I would get the outline of a C9 tatted on my right side you know at the waist line appendix carry style. But these days nobody would see much of it even with my shirt off.
No it's ugly ass pistol. I have a C9 and a 40. The C9 is smaller and less ugly I guess you could say.
This whole thread reminds me I need to find a Hi Point T shirt. Gotta get me a Steel Reserve and or a Colt 45 shirt to go with it.
