LOL, signs of addiction

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

I'm thinking some people are going about this all wrong.
I keep track of all the money I spend on my cars, but I'm not afraid to look at the totals, although they can be amazingly high, because I make damn sure to have a little graph showing cost/mile.
The cost/mile seldom goes up unless you get into a really big project and even then after you've got a couple years worth of miles on the car it won't go up much.
16V; $.36/mile
Audi A4; $.68/mile
84 Turbo;  no clue cause I lost my data with a hard drive crash.

Just think of the cost/mile for a new Mercedes (as an example). High initial cost, high insurance, high dealer labor rates.
Makes Sciroccos seem like a deal!
