You'll get a kick out of this.

My wife and I are off on an adventure.  We've already booked the tickets so there's no talking us out of it. 

 

We are going to Niagra Falls and taking a journey of this country by car.  But I don't want to drive there and back 1 way should do the trick, so we bought plane tickets to Buffalo NY and I am buying a car over the internet for us to pick up there. It won't be anything special, just some POS that runs good and has air that isn't rusted to the ground and will get us back here to Cali.

 

Today, I got the idea that maybe we should buy a motorhome, and my friend wanted one too so we thought we'd split the cost of it.  Hell there's a lot of motorhomes down there for as little as 6k.  Some look pretty nice, so that's pennies.  Then I did the math:

 

The trip I got planned is 3,200 miles over 10 to 12 days. I checked and the cheap motorhomes are 454's or 350 for small ones and they seem to all get between 6 to 8 mpg and that's if you keep you're foot out of it.  Let's say they aver 7.  So

 

3,200 miles divided by 7mpg equal 457 miles.  At 4.35 a gallon

 

Fucking 1,988.00 in Gas....

 

Compared to the cars I'm looking at most +30mpg but let's say 25 I'd only spend 500 or less in gas.  That's an additional 1500.00 to drive my apartment around with me.  Sure I got a fridge, shower, bed and shitter.  But for 1,500.00 I can sleep in a big room with a tub to relax in, splash in a pool in the evening and have someone else cook for me
