I hope everyone had a great Mother's day celebration. Mine was pretty good! My wife sent me out on an errand and when I got back she was waiting for me in a very sexy gown and some rope. "Tie me up and you can do anything you want.!" So I did and went golfing!

Mrs. jmonroe was watching Dancing with the Stars, saw it, jumped up and said what is that and starts laughing. It can’t get much closer than that. jmonroe |

Replying to: jmonroe (May 12, 2008 3:49 pm) But for the life of me I cannot understand how people can justify in there minds that they are being thrifty buy parking there 12 MPG SUV with a $550 a month payment and then buying a new Focus for $325 a month. You can put allot of gas in that SUV for $325 a month, and that does not even take into consideration the added insurance and maintanence cost. plus you are still paying the $550 for a car you are not driving.  To me the only way it makes sense is if you can pay cash for a car that you can recoup your costs in a year from the gas savings. For the most part a car that is worth $2500 today will be worth close to that a year from now. |

Replying to: joel0622 (May 12, 2008 4:44 pm) Two weeks ago my wife comes back from her European trip and informs me that she is ordering the “Smart for Two”, because it’s only $15K and she’ll save so much on gas. When I asked her where she’s going to put the kids, she tells me that she will keep her one year old Odyssey, and use Smart for her commute to work to save on gas. When I pointed out that her commute is only four miles each way, she started talking about environment. After I told her that it takes a lot of energy to build a car that we don’t need, she screamed at me: “Don’t you use your logic on me!” Finally, I read her the CR review that trashed this car, and she backed off. |

Replying to: bigbutr (May 12, 2008 6:09 pm) Ever since she got this bus she had been nagging me about Lexus RX, or any other Mid-size or small SUV, because the minivan uses too much gas. I don’t think there is an SUV that is better on gas than the Odyssey. Be careful with the 400h. CR says that they got 16 city / 29 highway in it.
