My wife drives a hybrid and pays $60 a month filling up her tank twice a month.
My advice to you sirs, is to get a hybrid and LEASE it for 3 years. If you lease it, then, yes, you're not building equity with the car, but it alleviates the biggest complaint about hybrid cars: replacing the battery means you'll negate any savings on gas.
When her lease is up, we simply roll it over into another lease, with another 3 year warranty (which covers the battery during those three years as well).
WIN!

I'd prefer a diesel over a hybrid.


Bingo! I've been driving a VW Golf TDI for over 9 years now. I pay fuel costs comparable to a hybrid without all the extra costs of owning a hybrid.

Even in the dead of a NY winter, I don't have any problems. You pour a splash of fuel additive in when it gets down in the single digits and that's that. No block heater, no garage. Just wait 30s for the glow plugs and then turn the key and go.

JESUS FUCK I love Irish women. Why don't I move to Ireland just the most beautiful accents ever!


I guess it's a case of wanting what you don't have. I grew up in Ireland, but I love women with welsh accents. Well, not all of them...

What the hell does this have to do with VW??

Actually, I don't care, it was epic. upvote!!

Don't think so. There are videos of Caroline and Leonie, a pair of VW Passat prototypes. The Golf convertible was part of a different program earlier this year, meant to test how people react to a driverless car in traffic. You might mistake a Passat for one of Google's spy mobiles, but you can hardly miss the lack of a driver in a convertible. >> ^dag:

I'd love to see a video of that Golf in Hannover - does it exist?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Ahh. Here we go:

I think it's a case of people not realising the benefit until it's an actual working product. If you asked people in 1900 what they wanted in a vehicle they would probably say a faster horse that eats less.

Audi and VW could have started selling driverless cars as early as '09. Don't know about Mercedes Benz, my city is VW territory. The primary reason you can't buy one is the lack of a market for these cars. People are reluctant to hand over control to a machine, and safety regulations on their home market demand extensive testing under even the most unlikely conditions -- and rightfully so, if you don't mind me saying.
That said, when they let loose a driverless VW Golf convertible in the city of Hannover, it scared the living shit out of quite a few pedestrians and bikers.

I know... WHAT ABOUT THE VW!!!

My point was that they're still going to charge you an hour's work to do a 10-second job. Definitely not something that's limited to mechanics though, any specialist can get away with this. I've done it myself with web work.

Mechanic's bill:
Labor - 1 hour @120/hr
parts - 1 belt @ 49.99

What ? I see the words but the message is void.
