I miss my 2005 LGT.

I don't miss burning more than twice as much gas to get anywhere, but it was awesome.

But buying a car before you need one is a bad move, efficiency-wise. Stopping less often or paying less per fill up isn't going to outweigh buying a car too soon- and selling a 12 year old car isn't going to make up the difference. Tell her to enjoy the boost while she's got it and then make a less power hungry decision when it's time to ditch the car.

I really miss that car, though.
