Alright, I have to throw my 2 cents in here as a car buff and I dare say addicted pigg.
Since 2000, I have gone through a Mazda Protege (new, paid cash), Nissan Quest (new, paid cash), Camaro Z28 (new, 0% financing), Ford Exploder (new, paid cash), Corvette (new, 0% financing) and now…gulp…a Toyota Prius.
As a guy who loves performance cars, I have to say I’m pretty happy I went to the Prius. It’s actually more expensive to insure up here in LA than the Corvette believe it or not, but I get ridiculous gas mileage and fill up every two weeks. My friends think it’s cool, my kids dig the gadgets on it, and I’m really happy with the performance. Do I miss 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds…sometimes. But I love $30 fill-ups more.
You’re young and I know image is important, but get comfortable in your own skin. It doesn’t matter what you drive. I finally figured that out.
