i couldnt care less how ugly it is.. lol..

i drive 1000 miles a month... just to and from work.

@ 20 MPG on premium (lets say $4.20) that is $210 a month
@ 35 MPG on regular (lets say $3.90) that is $111 a month
@ 60 MPG on regular (lets say $3.90) that is $65

For the difference in $210 to $65 who gives a fuck how fast or what it looks like? If I want a hot fast car I'll build one.

Even with the civic i am halving my gas bill, lowering my insurance and lowering my payment.

there comes a time when you gotta look at what you use the car for, what your life priorities are and take charge of it.

Hell the mustang I had got 9 MPG (heavy foot and 4.30 gears), that would be $466 a month in gas.

ugly or not, cars like the prius, civic, yaris, corolla etc etc kick the shit out of driving a 20-25 MPG performance car to work in stop and go traffic every day.

I am a firm believer that if I want a go fast car, I'll build one for the track, but for 99.9% of my driving, I'll take 35+ MPG any day... anything else is just pissing money away for no reason... and with our current economy doing that is just retarded.
