When I asked him why he doesn't get rid of it considering the price of gas (plus the fact its a slow ugly POS) he said "you don't buy a yacht if you can't afford to put gas in it." He really couldn't give a shit that it gets 17mpg - he likes the car, and the price of gas doesn't dip into his life style in the least.
agreed. my commute isnt bad, and i dont care much for the difference between $2.80 /gal and $3.10 /gal (fill up just under 1/4 notch = ~12 gal x $.30 difference which is $3.60 every 1.5 weeks, i dont care) so i dont mind driving the suby. if i cared about gas prices, then i'd have bought a civic or rsx or something.
