It was never really yours, you're not rich enough to have your own money

I knew what it was and it still made me laugh

 

Ouchie haha. I’ve been looking at getting a commuter car, maybe a Prius Prime. How has getting baby formula been for you?

we use a smaller brand that's not super well known and have never really had trouble getting it, Amazon delivers a bunch once a month. But they did just email us warning it might be short next time so IDK. Luckily she's pretty much off the bottle except for once or twice a day so it wouldn't be the worst thing. Definitely sucks for people with infants though.

I don't think gas is expensive enough yet to warrant spending the money plus registration and monthly insurance on another vehicle. Maybe if I had to drive way more than I do. Only fill up 2 - 3 times a month these days

 

It kinda just pushed me to do something I should have done long ago really. Driving the cruiser to and from work was about $700 a month before the gas prices went up so much. Would have put me in the negatives now haha

 

Well I'm sure as shit not an adult then.... I've never bought a brand new set of tires for any of my vehicles ever. Used all the way baby

 

You gotta get a Saab, fast enough to be fun but you can get 30-35 if you keep your foot light (at least I do in my '05 Linear). Not to mention the abysmal parts availability and GM interior plastic that crumbles in the sun!

Lol I've only ever bought new tires maybe 6-7 times in my entire life.

And that's a little bit compared to the many cars I've owned

I definitely don't wanna do new tires anymore.

 

That's great to hear, glad you found some stuff. Always nice to support a small company making things in-house.

 

I was looking at new tires for the Ford and uhhhh yeah same lol

 

i need to load up the parts cannon and stop it from eating front tires before I spend $500 ea on new ones lol

 

Just wait till November, it will go down.

Also pretty much anyone I know who went out and did the commuter thing without selling the gas pig said it wasnt worth it. Unless of course it was a sub $1500 total shitbox that you put the bare minimum insurance on.

 

@Abeyancer

Responsible adulting is realizing you could save so much more on a set of lightly used set of tires

 

That way you save money to buy an air fryer or some shit

 

yeah and then that sub $1500 shitbox will need a ton of time and attention that I don't have, definitely not worth it. If I was driving enough to where the current cost of gas was really hurting, I would spring for a more modern commuter that would pay off in the long run in gas savings and wear and tear on the truck. But I definitely don't drive enough now with a ~12 mile daily commute to make that worth it

 

Drop off your truck when you come down later this month

I'll give you guys a ride back.

 

but then I'll have no vehicle at all lol

 

Look at all the money you'd save; no supercharger rebuild, no registration, gas, insurance.

I'll have @Sperrunner hook you up with a bike
