Mazda3, Ford Fuckus, Chevy Cruze... there are a lot of decent options now that get really good mileage. Hell, you can get low 30s in a GTI if you drive it right, and you wouldn't have to hate yourself for owning it.

Don't Mazda3s get 40mpg nowadays?

Yeah 40 on a flat highway. 36 up here with the damn hills.

I can see getting a hybrid if it means you can commute more quickly in HOV lanes, but there must be a better hybrid to drive than a Prius and cheaper than a 918 - or is there? NSX isn't out yet and will still be like $120k, dunno what else you could get. Jetta hybrid is probably decent, 7-speed dsg yo

Those laws are such bullshit.

I wrote a letter to the president of my college because hybrids got the $600 parking pass for like $200. I argued that my used Civic was much more ecologically friendly and responsible. She didn't respond. I didn't buy a parking pass.

Lol @ hills in Illinois

Oh weird... I thought troy lived in Pennsylvania....

My (soon to be ex) wife drives a Prius. She loves my car. Yet somehow she never understood why I never wanted to drive hers.

I'd drive a TDI or a Cruz diesel or a Jetta hybrid or a Civic hybrid or a Volt before a motherfucking Prius.

Fuck Toyota and their fucking-I-give-up-on-life cars.

I would drive a Prius before I rode a skateboard everywhere though :iono:

OH dang. Divorce. Bummer dude.

I don't know. Been separated since mid June. She went to San Diego, took her important things and animals with her, left me with the house and most of her stuff. She has a lot of anger and resentment...sometimes she is OK and we can hold an conversation and she says things like she doesn't want our marriage to end and is hoping there is a chance...yet the only thing stopping us from reconciling is her unwillingness. She said she would like to start over with me and yet has not made any effort to meet me even partway. Then when she gets angry she says we should just get a divorce because she isn't coming back and won't ever let anyone make her feel that way again...

I try to understand her feelings and where she is coming from, but she has some major issues she needs to overcome. I have told her I can't fix things on my own, and she says she's given up and has no hope. Even though we had 4 good years together.

I'm making the decision to move forward with my life. Going to eventually sell the house and file for divorce. I think I know what she needs to do, because she is miserable where she is at, and I think she knows what she needs too, but is unwilling to do it. It really sucks because I have been married before and divorced, and that was relatively clean and painless. Not a whole lot invested. That's not the case here.


Anyway not trying to hijack thread, maybe I'll start a new one so that all of you can tell me that I'm an idiot for getting involved in the first place, that I should just cut ties and move on so I'll be happier.

Nah man, if it is worth fixing, then you and her both would know it. Hang in there dude. :thumbsup:
