So true, my man. I just got mine and I have already dropped $200 in a battery, got a $75 oil change coming (if I do it myself), a $15 high beam bulb, $60 for new rotors, $100-115 for one left front tire, and those are just things that have to be done. On top of these, my interior lights don't work, my old ignition is hanging from the dash due to the stupid antenna ring after replacing it, key fob battery needs replacing so my locks aren't working properly, and man I hate buying expensive gas for this miniature beast. Gosh, these cars are so fun!
