think im growing up?????

Just about every state i have lived in the new purchase car registration is hundreds of dollars. Most of the time dealers build it into the loan so the buyer is not woke up before the sale is final. Buying a new car based on projected mileage is crazy thinking.

driving 40+ miles a day at 12mpg? that is crazy

driving 40+ miles a day at 36 mpg? sound alot more affordable. registration was $157. I saw the break down of every penny i financed.

not to mention in Washington we have a gas guzzler tax.

I also now have the piece of mind knowing that if i wanted/needed to travel more then 25 miles i dont have to worry about the vehicle not making it. then there is the added safety of the newer cars.
