...they probably sold more mk3's in 89 than 93-98 because they never made an mk3 in 93-98...

Yeah, even including the few $'s of inflation, Mk4 probably didnt do so well because nobody thought a Toyota really could beat more than half the crap out there...shame. Too bad they couldntve advertised it a bit better.

Well then again, I think it was also a limited production vehicle, whereas the Mk3 was under the 'regular class'. They sold more partially because they made more, but mostly because nobody wanted one back then. If only the Gay and Bicurious had come out a few years earlier

Plus muther fuck'n one. Their parents can NEVER raise a kid that appreciates anything. Oh, the kids think they appreciate the things their parents do for them because they "like" things their parents buy them. They are never truely tought the value of money, therefore they have no idea how to truely appreciate anything. Its easier for the parents to just throw money at them instead of actually taking the time and energy to teach their kids values.

Its never enough and they are always wanting more. The worst part is that they believe with every part of their being that they deserve more and more. Like getting a 30k car for getting A's & B's one semester is ever going to motivate them to be anything but heartless, shallow, money grubbing, children of the dollar. Hell, i would have gotten straight A's in school if i knew my parents would get my "ANY" car for graduation! Now they get 30-60k car for carrying a 3.0 for a semester and promising to be home before 3am. I have a feeling we are one the road to the worst societial(sp?) break down in the U.S. history. We will have nothing but cry babies and the felons who resent them because they were never given anything but a crack whore for a mom.

I could go on for days but i wont. The point is that i have yet to know a person from money that truely knows the value of money and appreciates how fortunate they are to have been born into money. And believe me when i say i know plenty of wealthy families.
