Today, my husband used our last $2000 to buy himself a motorcycle. It's supposed to "save us a lot on gas money." FML

Actually, I ride, too. A bunch of my buddies did some back-of-the-envelope math and concluded that provided you don't go for some gigantic liter-sized road sofa that gets under 40mpg, yes, a bike is cheaper. Back when gas was $1-$1.50 a gallon, it wasn't, because any gas savings would rapidly get eaten up by the cost of replacing tires and drive chains. But with gas at $3.50-$4 or more, it works out.

If your uncle's level of intelligence is anything equal to yours it isn't much f a surprise. Just because something is dangerous to some people doesn't mean it is to all. Ignorance -.- As for OP, he isn't wrong, HOWEVER, he should have discussed it with you first.

And it will. $5 a week on gas is much better than $80 a week
