A "hyper-partisan" chief of staff?

For you maybe. I have money.

 

A fool and his...

Nice to see Brass so open in his desire to take other people's money.  I commend you

Enjoy your little shitbox.

That is if you can get credit.

The minicooper is one of the higher gas milage vehicles as well.  roughly 50 city / 67, it is however, very tiny.  For sedan, I'd get a Prius, hands down.


================
The Mini gets better mileage than the Minicooper, which is supercharged. None of the car magazines I read indicates anything like 50/67 mpg for either.

A VW Diesel will actually get an honest 45 mpg or better on the highway, and the motor will outlast any gas engine or electric car battery.

I think it is pretty naïve and simplistic to think that people buy any car for one reason.

I have been reading in this club about the wonders and beauty of the Prius.

I would venture a guess that price and ease of financing have every bit as much to do with the purchase as the ‘mileage.’

I tend to think that many people buy cars the way they buy clothes: based on style rather than practicality.

Land Rovers get terrible reviews from the car magazines based on their need for frequent and expensive repairs, and yet they continue to sell because they look cool to at least some people.

The salesman can have a lot to do with it as well. They can sell a $50K truck for $40K these days and that sounds like $10 saved to the guy who bought it, even if the new owner really needs something smaller and cheaper to drive.
