Go big (As gas prices drop, America resumes big car love affair)
As Gas Prices Drop, America Resumes Big Car Love Affair - DailyFinance
Might as well park that micro junk- gas is CHEAP! |
I never really lost my love affair with big cars. But I have gained an appreciation for how good small cars can be.
|
We are still very far from two dollars a gallon and when we hit that the first time, I bought a bike. I doubt that I will ever consider gas to be cheap again.
|
I had a 71 LTD with a 351 Cleveland back in the day, and LOVED it.
Of course, I couldn't afford gas for it, so by the end of the week I would be walking to work. I lived in Illinois at the time, and five miles is a looooooong walk in the winter time! Never again! |
I'll keep the same cars....might go faster than 90km/hr (55mph) on occasion though.
...Talk about living it up! |
Now is the time to stock up on eco cars and sell for inflated price when gas goes back up
|
One of the things I wonder about in idle moments: just WHAT are all these people compensating for, anyway? Smaller cars (and trucks) are more convenient, more fun, often more comfortable - and IMHO anyway, it's nice to have a few extra thousand in the stash.
|
So true to both the above posts.

I like bigger cars if they have a substantial feel, or in other words, if they have a bit of that bank-vault feel. Camrys and Crown Vics/Grand Marquis/Town Cars score highly on that measure.
|
I've been seeing more Insights popping up on Craigslist lately for very reasonable prices.
People have short memories and even shorter perspectives. |
