Car has paid itself off! Woohoo!
Two big reasons for me to get into ecomodding and eco-driving:
Environmental Impact and Money
The money aspect has come full-circle. I bought the car for $500, spent about $150 in parts on it, and have been driving it for 10 months and 10,000 miles.
That's about 6,000 miles not driven in my Mustang (21 mpg) and about 4000 miles not driven in my wife's Intrigue (27 mpg).
After insurance and some small repairs here and there, as well as some paint and screws purchased for ecomodding projects, the car paid itself off in displaced Mustang use within the past month. Add in my wife's car not being used, and it was paid off 3 months ago.
Not to mention the convenience of having a spare car in the household, keeping the mustang clean and garaged, and having a 4 door station wagon is handy (preferable to the mustang) with an infant!
Buying an ecological car with high MPGs can be an economical choice too!
