However, I personally dont care about what people think of what i drive…if it makes them feel good to make a 2,3,400 car payment each month on something they will never “own” nor be able to sell for close to what they payed for then thats good for them. Makes me laugh, and reminds me that i think i’m making some good financial decisions. > > And i hate gas prices going up everyday for ‘no reason’ either as much as the next guy, but i know i’m not going to do anything about it in the forms of lobbying, complaining, writing letters or even researching what makes the prices flucuate, so i’m gonna just pay what it is and get on my life. Like singh said, no point in stressing over something you really cant do much to change… > > Lifes too short to sweat the small shit +1. I dont like owning a beater, but at least it is paid off. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gas-prices-wtf/247796)._
