1.84 for gas...man what a rip off. Especially with petroleum companies making record profits.

You'd better lube up, because I think it's going to go a lot higher.

Man you guys are paying high insurance rates. I pay $850/yr for insurance. Make sure you call several companies and negotiate a rate, don't just take what they give you. I got a few hundred off just for saying I'd switch my wife and homeowner's insurance to someone else if they didn't come down more.

Me, I hate insurance. We single guys have to tow the line for married guys, their wives, and girlfriends.

NYC parking tickets
double parking, fire hydrant, bus stop, no standing, no parking, etc.. are all 105$ now.. 105$ parking tickets! worse than moving violations... although it can be avoided, it still sucks.. pretty hefty fines for such offenses in my eyes.
other is gas.
when i had school, i spent 80$ on gas weekly.
insurance doesn't bother me that much although i grunge when paying it.. i'll typically feel bad for a few weeks and forget about it for a while since i pay every 6 months..

tickets ...... 4 or 5 parking tickets around school, but some kids might think that it's funny to take the ticket off my car so i get the 3rd notice in the mail .... PITA .... and 2 speeding tickets resulting in ~$600 and loss of my license for 1 month, during the summer

slightly different thought
It just occurred to me that my list of things I hate spending money on when it comes to cars got shorter as I got older. For example, the Max I bought cash, used, whereas I made steep payments through my 20's. I'm well over 25, married, and living in MN, so insurance is a song. And MN registration seems far less than CA registration (where I lived before). I don't go through tires as fast (wives don't like burnouts). And of course, I had far less money to spend on cars back then. Go figure.
The only thing I can think of that costs more is oil, since I do them religiously at 3K these days, instead of "um, when's the last time I changed my oil?" in my youth. Of course that ended up costing a lot more after I blew an engine

Re: Re: slightly different thought
Interesting thoughts. I always say a car payment can only be about $350/mo, and should not be for any more than 36 months. I guess that has become the standard because those were the terms of my Maxima.
I dunno, the Max is an awful good car, but not $40K/80%depreciation good

Anything that doesn't make it better
I hate having to pay money to get the car back to the way it was. IF the car is running bad, and I can't fix it, I hate to have to pay hundreds of dollars and not come away with more hp, better handling etc.
