LOL.. my father is a mechanic, so same situation here... (parents are divorced now) My mom has driven shyt cars her whole life- 3 years ago she treated herself to a new pickup.. lol.. she regrets it now as well..I get the point, drive junk and avoid the high cost. I did that for years. Being a mechanic, I repaired them myself and saved even more. In my older reality, I decided to award myself and buy a new truck. Little did I know that within 7 years the price of fuel would triple. I now own a very nice gas hog. It will get 19 MPG on the highway, but around town, it only pulls down 12. Now I drive very little, unless I take it on the road, maybe 100-200 miles a month, so my fuel costs and my carbon footprint are much less than a person that gets 30 MPG and drives say 1,000-2,000 miles a mo. What I'm trying to say is it's all relative. Price to hassle may be a factor. With my almost new truck, I have no fear getting in it and driving to say new york other than fuel costs. 18-25 bucks a hundred miles. A 1,000 mile trip will eat up 180.00-250.00 in gas alone, thats 540.00-750.00 in fuel to go to NYC from vegas. Now flying and taxi fare seems reasonable or a rental car. If I wasn't so imprinted with the automobile, I'd get an electric go cart and do all my local stuff with that.
Also, this topic was kinda continued in another thread- hopefully the name calling will not follow.. lol..
