People claim to drive the speed limit, too.
There was a time when gas seemed awesomely cheap. I still drove economically and did not seem like was getting ahead. Now I just feel more and more like I cannot catch a break. I imagine some diehard EV fanboys would say that I could not afford not to replace my car with electric.
I try to enter Publisher's Clearinghouse everyday for free false hope. They have a contest for some $55,000 truck.
How much would I need to pay in taxes for that? How much would insurance cost, compared to my two 40 MPG teenagers with 200,000 miles average? What would I do with it? If I hauled "stuff" or went off road it would be damaged. How much would gas cost?
Irony would suggest that would be the one thing that I won, they would refuse a cash equivalent, and then would give the trophy to someone else.
