    Lightbulb hmmmm

    Let's say you average a huge $1,500 a year in savings for gas by going up to between 25-30mpg, and you sell the VX for $12,000, then buy a $19,000 car that is good on gas. To make up for your $7,000 loss in selling the VX and buying a different car it will be a full 4 and a half years of saving on gas before you even break even from your initial loss and by that time the new better gas mileage car is out of warranty and stuff might (aka will) start happening to cut into your "savings" even more. And what is even worse I promise by the time you break even you will be tired of driving a common car that is not unique in any way and blends in way too well at the local grocery store. Just my 2 cents. In my opinon you cannot put a price on uniqueness, enjoyment, or the random questions about what exactly you are driving. I know I am already telling you what you already know, but I think it is worth another thought.
