I need a new car

[Microgunner]

Ford Fusion boasts that it gets 105 mpg... that's not a typo.

It also costs more than you were willing to spend though.

It's going to sell like gold chains at a rap concert when it hits Cali. They say the average commuter here is now going 70-90 miles one way, each day. Besides the gas savings, and special commuter lanes, I think there's a tax break in there too.

That's the gas milage equivalent for the all electric Fusion that costs over $40, 000.

.

Of course, you have to live with the fact that you drive a vagina... an American vagina, but still a vagina none the less.

^^ <laughs> I can't bring myself to trade gas mileage for the safety that comes with size. To each his own.....I guess it's a southern thing but trucks & suv's rule here. I want my family wrapped in as much steel as I can afford.

I've still got a truck, a Chevy 3500 dualie with a 454. Can only afford to drive it when I have to.

My wife bought a Ram 2500 6.7l turbo diesel, lifted on 37" tires... I can hear it suckin gas like a fat kid suckin a Mc Donalds milkshake.

That sounds like the 460 zone.

I had a Chevy 2005 until this the Chevy rode better unloaded but the ford can take the heavy weight!!!

no offense to you or the other brothers here stuck there, but for the most part the douches there deserve a 250 mile each way trip each day.

<lmao>  <laughs> Don't sugar coat how you feel brother.

Went to the Ford and Mitsubishi dealers this morning to check out the Fiesta and Mirage. They've almost exactly the same size, the Ford is better looking, the Mitsubishi is easier to get in and out of. The Ford has much more power but the Mitsubishi gets far better fuel economy. The Mitsubishi is cuter than a speckled pup and is very easy to drive. It has power windows, locks, steering and brakes. Keyless entry w/push button start. Cruise control, cd, mp3, USB port, climate control, Bluetooth, leather wheel and shift knob, alloys and a shiit load more. It's white with black and red interior. One thing for sure, with that 1.2 liter 3 cylinder and CVT transmission it ain't gonna win any street light races. I don't care, i'd rather spend my money on guns than gas. 44MPG!!

[Microgunner]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, that's the description of the Mirage I bought.

[DNP]

Well....the red interior should help cover up any accidents during "that time of the month" I suppose....seeing as you wear such short skirts and I'm just guessing no panties.

Enjoy the 44 mpg. It's damn nice to only stop for gas after 500 miles.

Oh, I see we've met before.

You guys are funny!   Awesome MG....me I want a 2014 Corvette or nothing. i can afford nothing

[Microgunner]

I probably could've bought the wheels for the new Vette but would have to pretend the rest.

[98Z5V]

Geo Metro, brother.  I'm seeing them pop up starting at a grand - DEEP into your $15k budget! 

 

This dude is pullin' 100mpg!!!

[EasyEJL]

Thank god I work from home, so gas mileage isn't a part of my car purchase equation.

[Magwa]

A buddy of mine found a 2011 VW Golf diesel for 15k. He gets 55-61 mpg. It's got a little bit of giddy-up under the hood too.

 

Yep I agree get the vw diesel.... ...

[Microgunner]

I've put about 150 miles on the new car, nearly all highway, and the car's computer says I'm averaging 48.8 mpg. I'm really liking this car.

[Dane Armory]

The only Mitsu to get is the EVO , but the Lancer is a nice little 4door sedan.

You're talking that rich folks talk. The EVOs that I saw were over $40, 000 .

Really. !

You didn't want the 2014 Corvette Stingray convertable.

[Microgunner]

I've been driving the little Mitsu for a little over two weeks now without complaint.

I'm really liking the little bugger. It's peppy nimble, roomy (kinda) and gets great milage.

Here's a photo from my cell phone.

 

78 degrees outside BTW.

Hope you get alot of miles out of it brother.

[Microgunner]

Got over 9000 trouble free miles on it now without a complaint.

It's driving better and better as it breaks in.

Got 54.2 MPG on one trip to work but usually average about 45 MPG.

It got it's first oil change at 7500 miles. A gift from the dealer.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, my wife made me trade in her Acura for this 12-passenger monstrosity:
