    They are ridiculusly expensive aren't they? And very teeny-tiny up close.

    There is one couple here that have a white one. I call them the Ken & Barbie couple 'cause they've got leathery tanned skin, garish jewelry and have top heavy bodies ( boobs for her and pecs for him) She comes complete with "Malibu Barbie" platnium hair extensions.

    It's kinda turned me off the car.

    Have you looked at the hybrids?

    Yep... but I have a hard time paying more than $300 a month for a car (With a $5,000 down payment). I just don't think a car is worth much more than that... unless of course I win the lottery. Hell, I haven't had a car note in over 3 years!

    I'm just a pathological "saver". They say that the average American saves about 2% of their income... I save almost 20%, more than half of it going into a 401K that I cannot touch without heavy taxes and penalties. (I plan on living it up when I retire ).

    If I were to forgo all saving, I could own a very nice car and a very nice house... but I would be living from paycheck-to-paycheck and in debt up to my eye-balls. That's not the life for me. I like to sleep at night.

    Ahhh yes... the "perfect" couple with not a care in the world.

    Sure babe... but all your money would be locked in a 401K.
