There's nothing like an attached garage with a heater that keeps it at 40f inside even when it's -34c outside.
That way even the twelve year old jeep turns over and is already warm.

New car for me every 5-6 years - I must be getting old. Dylan Dylan Haines Systems Technical Support Manager HB Studios Multimedia Ltd.

Bendorf Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 1:44 PM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] Employment Opportunity As completely off-topic as this is, I have to join in.... It makes absolutely no sense to most people, but my wife drives her Civic three miles each way to work everyday and averages ~34mpg and I drive my F-150 Lariat thirty miles each way to work every day. I get ~19mpg highway but tend to finish a tank around 17mpg between random other trips and just getting out of and back into town. The thing of it is, though, I enjoy my ride and if I have to spend and hour everyday in a vehicle - I might as well enjoy it: I personally would not get enough pleasure out of saving half of my fuel costs by driving the Civic as I get from driving my Lariat... I face some difficult driving conditions in the winter months and it occasionally comes in super handy to have my own truck at work, but more than anything else, I pay and extra $25 a week on fuel to really enjoy my ride - we pinch pennies in other places.
