I read this and wow what whizzing contest. Math can do anything you want it to but it all comes down to where you live, what you are willing to do to save a buck. I live 25 miles a day round trip, I drive a 500 dollar 1987 cutless with and 140k on it. Its ugly, I look poor, my milage is not that great 25 if I keep the speed down. But my 2003 f 250 super duty I bought new sets in the garage and has under 28k for miles on it. The insurance on my bomb that most of my friends would not be caught dead in is a annual policy 140 dollars a year. Tires maybe 40 bucks each on the cutless, 150 for the super duty, oil change 50 on superduty 17.00 cutless. My garage kept like new f 250 extended cab xlt 4x4 diesel will still book for close to 25k I paid 31k for it with 43 miles on it. I have no doubt I saved money by having a beater and keeping my truck off the parking lot out of the sun and miles a min of 50k less than it currently has. You cant buy a decent car make payments hence interest, pay full coverage, due to that I don't own it the bank does and come out as good. My ultra conservative tight butted policy will not work for all, I know that but it would work for many. I second the lesabre my wife drives one 63 miles a day with 140k and it gets her to a good job, and home to the babies. The older generation buys lesabra's and trades them about every five years and roughly 50k for miles. The value of a 5 year old granny mobile isn't much our was 5,000 in 2003. But five years later and 90,000 miles later it sure figures alot cheaper than my a truck. My sadness lies for those who can't get by without a truck and need to have one on a daily basis and its eating them to drive. That said I don't like, don't pitty, don't feel sorry for the dipstick that drives a truck everyday and whines about what it costs when most could economize, sacrafice, do without if they chose and if there pig headed pride would allow them to. And in my rural area of the country thats most, under line this statement. Not cutting you bumper to bumper folks breaking down would suck, but that is what we all carry that little phone we have pressed against our head while driving for. Your results may vary, no hard feeling intended, keep your stick on the ice, your head thrown back, and laugh all the way to bank. I bet you would never guess I am less than 40 years old and a repulican would you? Can you say conservative, heck I save the grease out of my farts and pack wheel bearing with them. Have a good weekend. DD
