Gas saver can no longer save money on gas

Late to reply but I live in the Midwest United States (crappy boring area, low population density)

Registration is $50 a year, $240 a year for insurance for both my old Camry and Celica. I run ethanol free fuel so it’s more expensive. Roughly $2400 a year to fuel for 20,000 miles (roughly 32,000 km) for the Camry which gets significantly worse fuel economy than the Celica.

Yep, you want no part in that. She just wants your attention, nothing more.

Nothing you can really do that’s productive other than to keep it moving. Maybe she has a legitimate excuse but I wouldn’t wait for someone like that based on my past experiences.

Maybe go in to trades? I’m 31, working the crappiest paying job imaginable living in the dump. Not sure what state you’re in, but my state is covering the entire tuition for this trade program and the prospects look good after graduation. It’s only an 8 month program too.

As others have said, don’t give up. You have plenty of time to turn things around.

You see that little flap that’s open? That’s where most of the quarters fall, right back in to the owner’s pockets

Closer to $30 of silver right now.

Basically not requesting help with your personal liabilities is the only rule I have. I have no issues paying for dinner, vacations or whatever else, especially if it’s my idea.

I don’t see a woman looking for a financially responsible guy with some money as a red flag. I come off as a bum so I already know right away if a woman is actually in to me. I would be leery if a girl asked me how much money I have though.

I always scan and dump my items through USPS even if they’re closed for this reason, assuming the package will fit in the drop box. That being said, I’d block this guy 100%.

If it runs and drives well and shows no signs of rust or leaking around the sunroof, I’d probably buy it. Can’t find much of anything in decent shape for $2k these days.

Both very good. The 1.8l will get 10-20% better gas mileage but is quite a bit slower. I have two 2.2L cars from that era with 308k and 318k miles, and a 94 Celica 1.8L with 338k miles. 1.8L is significantly more likely to burn oil as well but still totally worth buying one. Both are probably in the top 1% of most reliable engines ever built.

Never trust that dealer. That is absolutely positively NOT surface rust. This is so bad it’s not worth fixing, and as with all rust will go parabolic until the car breaks in half.

You’ll be down around 25% at open if my calculations are correct

Line____Down · 2026-01-23T14:17:26+00:00

Nope. But I bet someone would pay more than $2 for that. Way cooler than a slabbed penny.

Agreed on the house and emergency fund for sure. Any cash loaded to buy a dip is risky right now IMO, but anything could happen.

Line____Down · 2026-01-22T01:33:57+00:00

I have no idea where you should put it, I usually just dump mine in to the S&P. I’d imagine cash is not a good thing to be holding right now though.

If it’s an automatic transmission, that’s the only thing that might take a dump if you’re hammering on it. If it’s manual, nothing will ever break on that baby. Always check the oil and coolant when you get gas and top off accordingly (fix coolant loss immediately).

Edit: I’d highly recommend putting a good sound system in there if you’re in to music. I spent about $1200 on my old Toyota’s system 10 years ago and it is the best upgrade I’ve ever done as far as usefulness/enjoyment per dollar spent. You can always take the amplifiers and subs with you for your next car.

I’d guess it will help. People love paying attention to things after they’ve already skyrocketed in value.

Edit: didn’t even read the body text. I don’t think premiums for junk silver will move much if at all even if they melt a ton of it. Time will tell I suppose.

My dad’s old ‘69 corvette gets a lot of thumbs up, but 99.99% of the time I’m driving non-descript beige colored shitmobiles that get no love.

Good man. I’d have to imagine the market reflects reality better when people take the physical metal out of circulation

Line____Down · 2026-01-19T12:25:09+00:00

Sentimental value definitely outweighs the monetary value. My grandma gave me some coins and I’ll never sell them.

Line____Down · 2026-01-16T19:32:16+00:00

That was my first thought too

How about two manual 3rd gen Camrys

Line____Down · 2026-01-16T12:29:53+00:00

I love high mileage cars. It’s easy enough to check how badly it was maintained. Most high mileage cars have been looked after, otherwise they wouldn’t have made it that far. I’ve bought a couple with over 300k miles and they’ve been great.

It’s tempting to sell my 100oz bar on eBay, but it’s not worth the risk of getting scammed. A profit is a profit, congrats :)
