Pretty simple math if you ask me, or anyone with an education.
I will note that you separate yourself from "anyone with an education." That saves me from having to do so. Thanks.

Again, you're in the wrong argument ... as anyone with an education would have already figured out. But I'm going to go ahead and indulge your silliness with a simple comparison:

A Cobra, purchased for $45,000 and sold five years later is sold for $45,000. Cost of ownership: $0.00

A Corvette, purchased for $45,000 and sold five years later is sold for $17,500. Cost of ownership: $27,500.

Both cars require title, tax, tags and gas. Those aren't included, as they're irrelevant to the conversation and would have to be paid on either car.

Nope. An argument 'assumes' nothing, nor are there only two sides, nor are the 'potentially valid sides.' An argument is a discussion with two or more opposing points of view.

Your pal,
Meat.
