monbeam
You love your sleek racer to death but taking it for a spin every time you need to step out for small errands like getting groceries ends up being a bad bargain considering the sky-high fuel prices. Which makes a great case for having a microcar and if you compare the Moonbeam’s 100 mpg average with the gas-guzzler in your garage at the moment, you immediately see the difference. And the best part is you can make one of these for yourself at home with just $2500 worth of materials and approximately 1000 hours of labor. The 400 pound fills up for just $5 and averages 85 mpg around town and can pull up a staggering 105 mpg on the freeway. Prima facia, the Moonbeam might not get you any babes other than a real eco-freak, but once you shower them with expensive gifts that you’d be able to afford through the gas money you saved, I’m sure they’ll come around to the idea of having a Moonbeaming guy friend!
