I hate SUV's Options

[ashes1850]

I just wanted to put it out there that I really hate SUV's and the gas that they suck up. Why would a person want to buy a car that gets like 10 mpg?

over in china they have a new car thats a cross between a van and a mini cooper and it gets 60mpg. They have laws about the dimensions and about minimum gas mileage. Why are we not following their lead? And the gov't wastes all their money and our money on technology to build a hybrid SUV which really does not exist as the electricity shuts off at about 40mph. So anyone who drives major roads uses up gas anyway. Unl;ess a family have like six children you don't need a big car. God forbid that children have to share the back of a sedan. Just getting those feelings off my chest.

As for space panda...i hight doubt youd be rolling your celi if you made 100k a year

You mistake me for a materialist. And I understand where you would get that, seeing as how I'm in America and all. But believe me when I say this, I love my celica. I've driven a lot of cars and some of them are very sexy. But nothing compares. I would want him a little faster, sure. Thus the swap. But no, I'd have my weekend toy and my DD would be Tom.

I smell manure.

Well it's not coming from here... just because I made 100k a year doesn't mean I'd go out and buy the first BMW or benz I could. (in fact, I'd never drive a Mercedes anyway, I really don't like them). I can think of other stuff I'd MUCH rather spend my hard earned money on, like having a kid finally and buying a house and building a killer retirement. It's about being able to afford the life you want to build for yourself, not about being all showy and flashy and ****. I genuinely like my car, even though it's slow as hell! I'd just be grateful that I was fortunate enough to make my car the way I really want it to be!

Now if, of course, the life you want to build for yourself includes a benz or whatever and flashy stuff to let everyone know that you make 100k a year, more power to ya. (not that 100k a year even goes all that far these days anyway) That's just not my style is all I'm saying.

...uh whats wrong with driving a benz and a bmw...

just so you know I am 23 and already building my killer retirement since 21, buy a house next year . Yes I'm building my life and being flashy doing it....there is nothing wrong with that. Im rewarding myself for busting my butt 5 years straight so far.
