Anyone drive a hybrid?

I have one but I tend to hook it now and again. It has some advantages over a 5 wood in that it is better from the thick stuff and has a more penetrating ball flight than the 5 wood. Play it like an iron and don't sweep it like a fairway wood.
My thought is if I can't fix it or Jim Bob can't fix it when it shits on me in the middle of nowhere, I don't want it. I guess it would make sense for an urban commuter. The MPG difference is in city driving. If you drive long freeway distances, and you want very high MPG, you are better off with a VW diesel.
And they are reliable as a new car. Just don't buy a used one out of warranty...when that battery pack and system goes, you are talking big bucks.
Maybe one of these 57 extended warranties that call me every week would cover it. Who is dumb enough to fall for this garbage that this has become an industry?
"Your coverage has lapsed. You need us. You may be facing expensive repairs you can't afford." People believe all that? Spoken by Mexicans or thugs in a call center like the one I was fired from as a dumbass 19 year old college kid.

My brother has a hybrid, as he's one of these weird liberal whack jobs that think the world is going to end in 2018 if we're all not doing our part to save the planet.
With that said, he, his wife, and two brats somehow squeeze into that soup can along with their luggage, and drive all over the country. I'm not sure how the hell you can live like that.

The same idiots that buy a non-manufacturer extended warranty from a car dealer.
Unless you are buying some semi-exotic car from CarMax. Then yes, get the CarMax warranty. Audi S8 with the V10? Hell yes, get that warranty.
How can people really not afford car repairs? I'll bitch about the price and hate dealing with it all, but in the end I'll just pay it and go on.
Is this a real problem for normal people or just those who agree to sign away half of their income tax refunds (often welfare EIC bolstered) so they have the money to waste a month early?

It depends on the price of the repair. Yeah, if you can't afford an alternator (or are to stupid to replace it yourself), you might have a point. A new Audi V10 engine is like a $25k job. All the dumb electrical stuff on a car like that adds up. Buy a used one at CarMax and pay $3000 for their warranty. That is being smart, if you want a car like that.
A warranty for that Audi would probably be about $30,000 then. They just call me up because I have a cheap car that a lot of check recipients drive. They think I don't have a pot to piss in. I get a kick out of that.
From what I've read on this board the short time I've been here, you don't have a pot to piss in.
Yeah, but I could buy one if I wanted it.
I get more out of thinking about what I could have than actually parting with the money to get it. The money, that's just for looking at.

Mostly stockpiled. I don't believe in gambling, although I throw away a little for the 401k stuff that I probably won't live to draw out.
If everyone was like me, there would be no economy and we would all be living in caves in the mountains. We would die when we were 28, just before we go over the hill. Once you hit 29, you're either starting a family or beginning the descent to feeble old age without the biggest distraction to it.

Last time I checked at Carmax on that car it was about $3500 for 100,000 miles or five years. They can afford to do that because idiots buy the extended warranty on Camary's and shit like that that isn't going to break.
