That...or you could use your savings to buy a gas hog hotrod that you only drive on the weekends or (like me) to the track and back. Ive got a 66 Mustang with a turbocharged inline six, 90 Mustang LX soon to have a 393 stroker and the 88 F150 4x4. I LOVE not having to drive those suckers everyday now for a couple reasons.

1) I can work on them anytime and if I dont finish in 1 day, oh well I dont need it to get to work
2) I dont get tired of the car/truck, I only drive it when I need it and the love and enjoyment is renewed again each and every time I take em out.
3) I only fill em up when Im out and using them, so instead of lookin at it as a weekly fuel cost, I look at it as $20-$40 towards entertainment or utility
