: OK guys, I need your help here. We were supposed to do a "group project" for math class (acinine, I know) and our "group" has pussied out rightfully thinking that this is a grade school thing, HOWEVER, this little ditty is 4% of our over all grade and I need to engage in a CMA thing.
: So, just be sweeties and answer the questions below (you can fake it if you want, I just need some numbers here)
: My own answers are right after just for laughs. Ta ever so....

: 1) How many Mav's/ Comets do you own? ( 2 Mavericks)
: 2) Do you own any other cars? (hell no, can barely keep up with the ones I have!)
: 3) Have you owned a Mav/Comet before? If so, how many? (My MOM had one...)
: 4) What did you pay for it/them? ($600 for the first, $450 for the second)
: 5) How much have you invested in it? (about $3000 over as many years for the first.)
: 6) Do you do your own work on it? (Sometimes, little stuff I can do otherwise it's off to the shop)
: 7) If you take it to a shop, on average how much do you pay each visit? (On Average, $75)
: 8) Have you sold a Mav/Comet before? (No, and working on it)
: 9) Did you make or loose money? (I paid too much for either car, wouldn't sell the first, will lose money on the second)

: Thanks again guys, I can do a BS presentation on Statistics this way.
1) two (one is to be sold shortly)
2) two others- Dodge truck and Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
3) owned two Mavs previous to the one's I own now
4) first-$1200 sec-free third-$75 fourth-$150 (and the free one is the one we're rebuilding:)
5) so far I have about $5000 into the Saleen Mav, with about another $2000+ before it's done
6) Myself and my brother do 90% of the work (subbed-out exhaust, cage, and frame connectors)
7) never have taken a Mav to a shop for general repairs- everything is so cheap and easy to do on a Mav it doesn't make much sense to.
8) sold two previously (one whole and one for parts)
9) made money on the parts car and broke even on the other--after I had driven it for 2 and a half years:)
