Very true. I just get overwhelmed when I have a dozen printouts and such, and just needed a way to organize the info. After a few organization passes, it kinda grew, and helped me decide which printouts to pitch, and which cars to look for deals on.

(I've been driving a '98 Saturn SL1 for 11 years, and it's been getting a very consistent 33mpg. So I put in the fuel calculations to see what would happen to my fuel bill when I change cars. Then, I added a "baseline" (repairing my Saturn) and added a column showing how much more each car would be than just repairing it. The engine blew, and the shop wants more than it's worth to drop in a rebuilt engine.)

Update: (20140811) I forgot to update this with the actual car I got. I selected the PT Cruiser for some of its truck-like qualities. Unfortunately, gasoline went up immediately after I bought it, so in the end, I should've gotten a car with better mpg. I like the cruiser though, it's treated me well these past few years.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
