If by that you mean RX8 payments end and mortgage payments go up, then yes

Relevant?

No one touches my car, especially a bunch of careless car wash workers using recycled towels that could have God knows what type of particles lodged in them. The cost of it, though a factor, would be the least of my worries. Save ur money and get some up, close and personal time with ur baby by washing it yourself. Find a way to get it done.

Monthly:
Insurance:$180
Gas: $100-$125 (i split time with my RX-7)
Nothin else has caused expense not covered under warranty

Yearly:
$100-$150 for oil changes (done myself of course). Will depend on oil/filter brand as well. Idemitsu bitches!

I love washing my own car. When the weather gets nasty out, I usually just go to one of the power washing car washes(you spray it yourself).
