The price of gas and I think with the general economic stuff its just got a lot harder to own and run a car in general. 

Definitely, you said it Tekla.  :icon_yes:  Once I graduate I'll need to get a car again, and I hope I'll be able to afford it, but I'm not so sure.  :-\

I figure that most people work one to two months a year just to pay for that car and running it when you figure in the cost, payments, maintenance, taxes, plates, insurance, parking fees, and all the other costs.  Once I figured that out I was very content with getting rid of the car and taking that extra time off to ski or bake in the sun, or ride my bike.  Less stress too.

Yeah, those extraneous car expenses add a lot to the overall bill. Although I have to admit that the 12-year old Chrysler I own hasn't been as expensive as others I have had. At least not until I take it for its yearly required "inspection" by the mechanic shop. Then very suddenly it shouldn't be driven any longer without a few hundred dollars of repairs.

Cali has the smog checks, that's our way to keep mechanics employed.
