"It only costs $20 a week to run"

**SMOKEU** · 29th October 2009, 12:44

What really pisses me off is when people sell a vehicle and say "It's really econimical, it only costs $20 a week to run" or something similar to that, well no shit idiot, FFS even a carbied V8 will cost $5 a week to run if it's only started up once a week and idled for a minute.

Perhaps one could consider the term "run" to mean be in use everyday for travel committments.

**Slyer** · 29th October 2009, 12:58

Or people that think because a car costs more to fill up it means it uses more gas.
No, it just means the tank is bigger. =/

If this sort of thing truly "pisses you off", I'd advise you to get out a whole lot more.

You know I make a point of steering clear of the Jokes forum.

I wouldn't worry mate... your concerns are misplaced. There's a few in here that have a hell of a lot better punchline than you.

Yeah, it pisses me off too!

Why can't they use proper grammar and spelling:
"It's really economical - it costs only $20 per week to run."

**Morcs** · 29th October 2009, 13:50

My Bike costs $60 per week to run

**James Deuce** · 29th October 2009, 14:04

I hate everyone.

Don't start adding up shit on a weekly basis .....

Oil, say $70 4 liters, say once a year - $1.35 a week ...

Really good shit @ $120, $2.30 a week .......

Then there is rego .........
