I don't know how you guys/gals who use your 8 as a daily driver do it. It's like every third time I drive this car I have to drop a $50 into the gas tank. I'm not complaining, because every single mile driven in this car is fricking HOOT! I can afford it on my budget, but damn, $50 is a lot of money.
I am honestly interested in your stories. How do you all afford to keep gas in the tank if you drive it every day? Serious question.

Its my dd and I cant afford it. I no longer go out on random long drives with the females and I have stopped eating out with my buds. Thats how I get by. SOOO WORTH IT!!!!
Just put it on a credit card that has 0% interest for 12 months, then at the end of those 12 months get another credit card that has 0% interest on balance transfers and open another with 0% interest for 12 months on purchases, and keep the cycle going. If you do it for a long enough time, you can just play the get out of jail free card by filing bankruptcy.

you drive 200 miles every time you get in your car?
I took deliveries as a summer job... $50 isn't a big deal.

I have made all of my automotive-related exercises a tax write-off by starting Black Halo Racing. Even my cross-country trips and mods are write-offs! My recent move to AZ......all a write-off. BHR pays for my gas, too.

I just shake my head and curse the politicians. If my finances were such that this was a big impact, there's no way I'd have bought a sports car in the first place.
