[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 1056664"] Well her 2002 Blazer gets about 16 mpg. 180,000 miles, falling apart. She will be driving 80 miles round trip(per day) to school.....5 days a week. The car will pay for itself(kinda) in fuel savings. I could get her another used pile but we already have 2 of those and mpg is king(right now). I want her to focus on school and get finished with the best grades she can get. With all the cutbacks at public schools(she's going to be a teacher) she will be competing for a job. She will also have to learn fluent Spanish during this time.....she's gonna be busy........Since we work such long hours(and you know too well).....I don't have the time to worry about reliability......yes, things cost money.......in the end-her living at home will translate into alot less college debt....and she'll have a car that will take her into career. I believe in the "Why make things harder than they have to be?"......my parents bought my first car and I believe I know how to appreciate earning a living........ [/QUOTE]
