Kias are not $30K. At best they are $16K new. A used on may run $2K

$30,000? You have no idea what a Kia Rio is, do you? Not only that, but
as I have said before, I drive to and from work a little over 100 miles
round trip every day. I fill my gas tank just as often as I did in the
van, but I spend half as much each fill up (8 gallons instead of 16).
What I save in gas covers my car payment AND the insurance. I break even,
so I basically got the car for free.
