| 3 years ago. "company car" They reimburse gasoline based on mileage at a fixed rate. Plus the allowance they give me for the car is more than 100 bucks above my car payment each month. And next month my 3 year loan (that I got a 2.99APR on) is paid for. Suffice to say: if I drive the car enough, I can make the entire car payment on the difference between the fixed rate gasoline reimbursement (I think its based on about 20mpg and I can get 60) and what I actually used. So, if you do the math when I drive the car a lot (which I always do, esp since my Z was down for most of the last two years for the build) I pocket well over the car payment and use the gasoline reimbursement differential for the car payment. And next month I will have paid for the entire car on strictly gasoline savings and I will own it out right. AND its still worth over 6k on ebay! AND all I've done is change the oil for the last 3 years (mobile one 0w20 - 2.75quarts) and drop a K&N filter in it. That car makes me so much money and I just beat the ever living crap out of it. So, yeah go ahead and laugh.... Doesn't bother me a bit. I'll admit I've thought about a "my other car is a twin turbo and would eat your pathetic ride in the blink of an eye" bumper sticker but it's not really necessary.
