The Car That Guzzles Money.

June 21, 2010

It’s just not my week in car world.
You know how people say things happen in threes?  Well, it seems to be true with my not-so-pimpin’ Caddy these days. I love it to death, but sometimes it can really frustrate me.  Is that what having kids is like? ;)
The wrath of the money guzzler:
1)  [...]

Reason #211 Not to Have Car Payments

April 6, 2010

When your car starts breaking, you actually don’t mind paying to fix it! :)
I just dropped $270 on new tires and alignment and it is a-okay in my books, friends.  The longer I can keep my ‘93 Caddy on that road means the more money I can sock away until I [...]

Want to keep more money? Obey the law!

November 18, 2009

Nothing I’m about to say will come as a shocker, but it needs to be said ;) And that’s because I’m getting dangerously close to a few of these! I know human nature will always play its part, but without reminders every now and then we tend to keep going until caught. So today, [...]

"Without asking, my grandfather just bought me a car."

November 16, 2009

So I got an email from a friend of mine this weekend, and she’s faced with an interesting quandary.

I’m SO tempted to buy a Porsche right now…

August 11, 2009

Seriously, would it really be that bad? I know it sounds crazy, but I really REALLY feel the need to drive a sex mobile right now (or anytime for that matter). Perhaps someone out there would like a fancy budget blog? Say, for around $100k? Anybody? Bueller? ;)
A friend introduced me to this car club [...]

"Cash For Clunkers" Cashed Out?

July 31, 2009

Word on the street is that the “Cash for Clunkers” program may already be over – less than a week since it started! I won’t bore you with all the details here (mainly because I’m lazy and there’s already so much circulating around the webs right now anyways), but I did think it was prudent [...]

How much do you pay for car insurance? Not $1600, right?

January 27, 2009

That’s how much a friend of mine pays every 6 months – $1600! (ouch). I guess it doesn’t help having a couple DUI’s and a fancy a$$ sports car ;)
With extremes like that aside though, what do you think the average person pays for car insurance?
I’m going to guess $1000/6 months, and now google it [...]

Am i slow, or did gas just plummet like a mother this month?

December 12, 2008

I’ve noticed it hasn’t gone UP at all, but i feel like i just transported back into 2001! It’s amazing. The last time i blogged about gas it was around $4-something and i filled my Toyota Highlander for $60.56!
Know how much i spent yesterday? $27.89!!! for the same almost-16 gallon tank full, only this time [...]
