Reputation: (26) | I have an easy solution...just start your own business, and quit your job! (in that order, lol). One of my cars is a 2004 Saturn with 21,400mi on it. Do the avg annual mileage calculation on that bad boy! (and you have to subtract driving it here (Denver) from Florida where I bought it, plus a couple trips to the airport). Prrretttty kewl, eh? yes, until last Friday when GM announced they are killing the Saturn line forever...boo-hoo... Or, if you are single (and "nuts"), you could asked your employer to consider hiring you as the night janitor. Then you could sell your car, buy a tent and a hotplate, sleep in the warehouse, double your income, buy stock in the company, wait for the day the CEO has a coronary from the stress, and by that time you will be the majority stock holder and own your own company!

Reputation: (13) | I don't have a car right now, so I don't get to try any of these. Of course, even if I did, I probably wouldn't move to Saudi Arabia. |
