Only reason I can afford this car is because I bought it for a grand. No monthly payments = so much easier to manage. And insurance is cheap... I think I only pay $82/month. It's not great on gas, though -- one tank (around $55) will only last me about 400 kilometers. And quite honestly, I can barely afford to maintain it -- this is the first time I've taken it in to be serviced in about three years.
But yes, I have a license. :]
