Gas is one constant in life that is consistently variable. The one thing consistent about it is that it will always continue to go up in price.
MPG should be a huge priority for just about anyone.

That being said, a new car is the worst investment ever. Look at used.
Yes we all here about how much a car depreciates after driving it off the lot but look at the difference in interest rates between new and used, especially when you can find new cars at 0%

I helped my mom get a 2013 Accord. She's selling it now. I was shocked at how little it depreciated though...

Nice, that wouldn't surprise me...Hondas and Toyotas hold their values well based on reputation. I was looking at used Highlanders originally since I couldn't afford new and there wasn't much of a price break on the used ones.

Just get another Prius so you and the wifey can match.

I am so sick of you ripping on me all the time. Calling me Bush's wife now? That is fucking cheap man. Not cool.

We may live near each other and write alike, sorta. But I'm not his bitch. I'm nobody's bitch. And I don't even drive a Prius stupid. I drive a Yaris. So fuck off!!!

I'm realizing now, that you really did mean Bush's wife.

Maybe.
Oh. My bad. Carry on.

You can squeeze a brand new Kia Optima under $20k, make sure it's white.

I ended up buying a 2010 Chrysler 300 (48,000 miles).

:P

Sorry Abe, I know you wanted me to get that "cute" Prius, so we could match.

But I got a deal too good to pass up.

For some reason it is strange to see you respond to posts with pictures and memes instead of quips.

I request that you stop doing this.
