Just wanted to know what you all would do. Roll down there in the Mighty Mirage ... or take my Lexus and suffer a ~$57 premium to do so? That ~$57 premium would almost cover my hotel stay. I can't make up my mind if I'm going to stay at The Hole You're Inn or the Fleabag Inn. In reality, I'll stay in a frugal hotel too, all I will need to do is sleep, I don't need to sleep fancy.
I'm leaning toward the Mirage because I'm frugal. And also, these relatives of mine are, well ... po' white trash. I love'em, but that's just the way they choose to live. And it would almost be like I'm rubbing it in their faces (it = my ability & willingness to actually pay my bills, versus their ability to avoid pay anything in order to not have to get a job ... to each their own) if I came high rollin' up in there in my Lexus, it's that flashy.
Just curious what the crowd here would do...
Mirage for sure. That's more than $50 saved on Dino juice that you could redirect to investing in hookers & booze.
