Replying to: roadburner (Aug 04, 2008 9:17 am) A person spends $50K on a optioned-up BMW and then decides to run 87 instead of 91, for a savings of $300 a year? This suggests (to me) that this person is way overextended in life style.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 04, 2008 9:53 am) Nothing; I hear that question all the time? A person spends $50K on a optioned-up BMW and then decides to run 87 instead of 91, for a savings of $300 a year? It's rarely even that much- it's usually less than $200. This suggests (to me) that this person is way overextended in life style. Haven't you heard? It's easier to look rich than actually BE rich. And don't get me started on the dimwits who take their M3 or 911 to those quicky lube type shops... |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 04, 2008 9:53 am) Maybe it's just depression era thinking... I don't know.. My uncle got a Lexus at age 71... cash buyer... w/no money issues... and, it was a constant conversation about octane requirements... I was glad when he sold it..  regards, kyfdx

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 04, 2008 4:22 pm) It appears that I have done (half) my job as my daughter is quite thrifty with her money. A saver, and a smart shopper at age 12. Like her father... My son? Why save? If I need money, Mommy gives it to me! And I prefer the term, "cheap" when applied to me!
