I have a 10 year old car that given to me as a present for getting my license back after 3 DUI's. I didn't drive for 9 years. It's a Honda & is very cheap to maintain. Gas is getting expensive but so is biking. I recently had to replace my back rim, chain and derailer. I'm constantly having too buy more inner tubes, bike lube, Gatorade ect...I even have to pay for more food. My car get about 32mpg. I enjoy biking but I don't think it's as cheap as some of you make it out to be.
