If we were reasonable people we wouldnt have hot rods or mod said hot rods...
If you drive a lot, the gas savings alone pays for the car. For me it isnt so much worrying about my car depreciation since its old, its actually going up in value. For me it is not having wear and tear on my motor, maintenance costs, having to adjust the valves every 1000 miles or more which would be every 3 to 4 weeks, changing oil every month or two, wearing out rear tires every 3 to 4 months, 15 mpg and race gas expenses, etc f'in etc... in the actual long run I will likely save a few grand a year. Also when the Stang breaks I can go to work without fear, or if it rains, snows, hails, etc.
The best thing would be to get a job a mile from my house and walk to work, but that isnt happening since I live no where near industry.
