So as the topic says… OH WAIT. I left her ass. So. with this decent amount of change I am saving… (±$300) I’m trying to think of what I should buy my self for x-mas that is right around this price. As gay as it sounds. I kinda want one of those tom-tom’s. I just think they are cool. I never get lost. But I do a lot of traveling so I figure when I do get lost. I use about 10-15$ in gas trying to find my way back to the main road. so do the math. Cost of small navi thing. approx $400? getting lost. 15$ mutliply that by 20 times a year. 20x15=$300 So i figure If I own this thing for 2 years. It should pay for it self? BTW. I use this logic with a lot of stuff I buy. ex: valentine one. ect. Are these things legit or no? ---

If you can’t figure out what to buy yourself, give me the money. ---

I own a tomtom one. Cheap, reliable, and for 26 extra dollars get the external antenna for awesome reception. ---

> [@sedlmeier101](#): > > I use about 10-15$ in gas trying to find my way back to the main road. so do the math. Gas is about $2.50 a gallon. You use about 4 to 6 gallons when lost. Let’s _assume_ you get 20 mpg. So on average, every time you get lost, you drive around 80 to 120 miles to find your way again. A tom-tom is around $300, so you would have to get lost 20 - 30 times for it pay for itself. **In other words, you plan on driving around aimlessly for 2,400 miles with out tom-tom.** ---
