A little over a year and a half ago I bought a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Blue with 24k miles on it. I was suitably impressed, though it was an older car.

In early 2012 you bought a MY2010 car. That's pretty much a new car, not an older car, man. My newest car is a 2005, and that's still a pretty new car.

That's almost, if not, a ten year old car - definitely not pretty new. It's 2014 (pretty much), dude.

I may also be in denial that 2005 was so long ago, and that I'm getting old.

I have a slight oil leak (not quite to the point of "never have to do an oil change, just top it off regularly" but I do occasionally have to add half a quart or so between changes. I know where the leak is now and it's getting fixed as soon as it's warmer/I suck it up and pay someone else to do it while it's cold) and just had my vehicle in the shop for exhaust work the other day and the manager of the shop and I walked under it after he got it in the air so I could show him what I wanted done and he happened to walk under just in time to take a drip of oil to the bridge of his nose.

Kind of embarrassing.

A friend just reached out to me on FB asking how much I actually want to keep the Civic. The seller and I have not really publicized the price we agreed on. This other friend offered $500 as is. Take the beer money or save the gas money?

I'd keep it, personally. For $350 it won't take you long to recoup the money you've put into it via fuel savings if you have a decent commute.

Ya, but replacing a totalled 500 dollar car is at least doable compared to having to eat 4-5k or more if some dipshit with no insurance hits you just to save a couple hundred a year. My mom was talking about dropping collision on her 07 Dodge Ram, I had to remind her that the bulk of insurance is the liability and not the extras. People just aren't rational sometimes.

A couple hundred? Man, I wish that was true. I have a 15 year old Jeep that costs about $200/6mo for just liability. If I wanted to add comprehensive and collision with $1k deductibles (I bought it for like $2500, so not really worth it regardless) it would raise the insurance cost to about $700/6mo, or a $1k/yr increase, with Progressive.

My going-on-ten-year-old Toyota has full coverage with $250 deductibles for like $320/6mo. My bike is like $80/yr for liability only, to add comp/coll it would be about $1700/yr. Maybe I just apparently don't "get" insurance.

Lucky. My neighborhood is full of tabletop speedbumps. They're tall/wide/steep enough that if I hit them going >20, my stock-height Volvo 240 will bottom out.

I live in the ghetto. We don't have speed bumps, just groups of people you basically have to dodge around because they hang out in the street and don't move for anyone.

The best part about CO is watching all the idiots with AWD ditch their suv come the first inch of snow because they think AWD means "continue to drive like an rear end in a top hat on slick roads". People in CO are lovely drivers. I blame all the people from Texas, Cali and Florida moving here.
