Anyone else thinking of giving it up?
With gas prices to hit $3/gallon this week and no end in sight, is anyone else thinking that it is not too wise to throw money into an old truck that gets 10 mpg?
I've been a die hard "I can afford a lot of gas without a car payment" type of guy for a while, steadily working on my '71 suburban and '72 blazer and daily driving them. But, I am starting to see where I might not be able to afford to fix them up and drive them. And when I get them fixed up, will I be able to afford the gas to enjoy them? Will they be worth anything fixed up since they will cost so much to drive?
I guess the question is, at what gas price does this hobby not make sense anymore? Anyone else thinking like this, or am I just being stupid?
