Re: how much does it cost you to drive?

I was just trying to make folks aware of just how much of their income actually goes into
their damned automobiles!

I don't believe most people are aware that cars suck them dry.

If you add up annual

car payments (new cars have terrible payments/month!)
insurance
taxes (licensing, tabs, tolls, fees, stickers, parking, more?)
gasoline purchased (this can be hideous!)
maintenance costs (oil, filter, repairs, tires, car washes, seat covers, radios, CD players, etc)
anything else....?

It can add up to 20% - 30% of a family's take home pay!

Maybe even more.

Just to transport your butt to work so's you can pay for it.

Saxiphone - just added humor. Bill Clinton? More worried about the Hill-di-beast
becoming our next leader of the USA. Can you imagine?!
