No thanks, I have a penis.


How can you "save" by "buying"? The savings in fuel will not recoup the cost of a new vehicle, insurance, and scheduled maintenance for many years.

you change the oil every 10k, i have put 45k on mine since last january, and all i have done is change the oil and one airfilter, the car has more than payed for itself i drive 60 miles one way to work, thats 120 round trip, 600 a week if i only drive to and from work, the car payed for itself and insurance is cheap as hell, it actually saved me more money for my weekend toys, my R1 only gets 50 mpg and thats if i baby it, plus cant drive it daily, my penis does just fine in it too, lol. I'm probably the only guy to have ever gotten road head in an insight lol.

that would be because you're the only guy...if that's what you think you are...to drive one.

samarai's are cool but get shitty gas mileage for a 1.3 liter, and i have an 04 4runner as well with a v8, and for a 4x4 v8 it does damn good on gas, but with my commute i couldn't affors the gas, i drove it all this week and spent over $100 already, i only spend about $30 per 600 miles with the insight, but my girl is driving it this week don't knockem till you drive one for a day!
