Why?

This always amazes me. People will shell out $20K+ for a new car that will get 5mpg more than a nice, low-mile, clean, used $10K car and then BS you about how they are "saving money".

What the hell made you think I was going to shell out $20k+ for a new car that will get 5mpg more than a nice, low-mile, clean, used $10k car and then BS everyone about how I'm "saving money?"

I was referring to you only if you were, and mainly to the "collective you" that tends to justify such purchases.

Well he is 1 of 9, so he is part of the collective.

Well, of course I'm not going to try and use that justification.

I want/need a second car for:

1. The daily grind
2. Winter
3. Practicality
4. So I don't waste gas... you know, to fulfill that small bit of environmentalist I have inside of me.

Whether I spend $1000, $10000, $20000, or $50000 on this car doesn't matter.

Nissan should sell a LEAF/370Z discount package.

If you can blow that much on your DD, I admire your income/station in life, 'grats!

For me, I just traded my WS6 for a little 4-banger and was done with it, lol
