How do you like the H3 was thinking of trading my element for a black h3- but the gas mileage is a concern- even though the element is no gas zipper either- how much are the h3 going for- i like black

Make decent money, very neglible debt, and no car payments for the last 5 years. On top of that I put zero down since I'm losing my job in about 3 weeks and have no idea how much I'll make at my next gig.

Like a number of people said, life is short so enjoy it.... as long as you dont get in hock to enjoy it.

I drove my beater truck for 6 years. Finished my time in the AF and landed a job netting me a 200% pay raise. Waited a year, bought all kinds of other toys, did a bit of traveling... Finally got tired of having nothing but the truck to drive, started looking for another car. Test drove an '03 and was hooked the first time I hit VTEC.

I'm proud of the fact that I've come so far at my age. Started out with very little, wound up making about 3x what my parents make in a year. The way I see it, I earned the hell out of that S driving that beater truck for so long - that's why I can't bring myself to put it away all winter.

Now, if only I could be that successful in other areas of my life...

THe H3 gas mileage isn't to bad. I get about 19-20 on the higway and about 16 in the city. But it only comes out during snow; etc. I have the I5 version of the H3 so its not to bad. I pay 299/month on a 12,000 mile a year lease. i paid $0 down. just taxes.
