Garage
I sometimes get concerned about gas prices since my Boxster is my DD. But since I only drive about 500 miles a month I don't get too bent out of shape over it. Let's just say the price of gas has not stopped me from enjoying freeway onramps.

Plus, enjoying the gas I burn makes me feel better when I fill up because I am not just, spending money on a disposable commodity but I am buying some fun in the Boxster. I'd rather pay a little extra to have fun going from point A to point B, than doing it in say a prius. (I won't even get into the problems with the prius like $5k battery replacements, and the low MPG unless you drive like an old lady (no offense old ladies))

I should also mention that I was shocked today when I checked my average MPG and it was reading 24.5. That is about 50/50 driving, and I haven't reset it in a few weeks. It is one of my highest non road trip MPG.
