i just bought myself a brand new car, 2005 toyota camry le silver. this is my first car, and i'm paying for it with my salary at 1.9% rate.

i was a little nervous at first because i had to drive it home from the dealer, which was 30 miles away. i was afraid i'd get some scratches on my new car, but it rides so smoothly.

it's nice. :happy:

thanks, all. :)

i also had an interesting experience on the way to the dealership. i took the train up north, and i pulled out some reading material, "essays in existentialism" by sartre, when the dude next to me starts staring at me and my book. then he says, "so you're into philosophy, eh?"

we started talking (well, he did most of the talking) about eastern philosophy, and then he gave me his phone number. i've never been given a phone number by some random guy before, so it was a little strange.

yeah, it's reliable. that was one of the reasons for getting the camry (my dad kept pushing for it. :p).

drthodt, find someone to cosign. you might get a good deal.

i'm lucky, though. i had some good credit, and i just graduated, so i got the low rate and a special college grad rebate.

chconline, do people not usually get a camry for their first car? :D my dad couldn't decide between the honda accord and the toyota camry, but we ended up with the camry. he gave me several thousand for the down payment, and i'm paying the rest.

good luck getting your car, altezza! :)

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
