Those great deals everyone is mentioning don't seam to be making it to the northwest, but then again we are still paying the third highest price for gas in the nation. Only Alaska and Hawaii pay more for gas then Idaho.
Which means the car I paid $41K for in November of last year (yes, I paid full price people!) is now worth about $25K? Oh well... I've driven lesser cars worth less then that and was embarrassed to drive that car but its all I could afford at the time.

Personally, I don't care that some think I paid too much for my car because at the time, that price was a deal/steal to be able to drive my dream car. Plus, I didn't buy this car thinking "what will it be worth in a few years". I bought this car to be able to keep it for many years... and if I can enjoy it this much 2-5-10 years from now, then I got my monies worth.

Plus, the reaction I get from people on this car makes me feel like I have a million dollar car. And I feel like I do each day I get into it... I still get that sh&t eating grin each time I get in it!
