| maintenance costs for a $1 or $2k civic? LOL...russian roulette much? Totally apples/oranges Why buy a new Prius when you can buy a 2012 or 2011 model with warranty? The real question is whether $18-22k for a Prius is worth the price when you can get a Honda or Hyundai hybrid for far less. Or even a non-hybrid econocar like a Corolla or Jetta TDI? Now if you have no desire for a new-ish car, and you don't mind doing some DIY, then sure, go for a $2k beater, but it is a total crapshoot and you better be prepared to spend a lot more than $2k when all is said and done.
 "What a curiosity our new political correctness has made of our public spaces. Let your sex tape loose on the Internet and be rewarded with your own TV show;
photograph a crucifix in a jar of urine and our museums will vie to exhibit it; occupy someone else’s property and you will be hailed by the president for your keen social conscience.
But call people who blow up, behead, and mutilate, “savage” — and polite society will find you offensive."
--Jared Silverman "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
--Winston Churchill "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
--Benjamin Franklin "Government is not reason. It is not eloquent. It is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
"The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury."
--George Washington END THE FED
