Tony's car has been down for 2 1/2 years - but he's more likely to recover much of his car costs by having a car that is worth something in the long run. I've invested a ton of money in POS cars that still were not worth anything - my time is valuable - so if I'm going to spend the time and effort - I would rather spend it on the P-car where I know there is at least a return - and in 4 years isn't going to be worth $4.22. like some of my previous brands of cars...
