How do you come up with the car cost of $0.67? If it's a lease,
then it's simple. If not, what have you used as your amortization
period and residual value?

I'll say hi to you at Starfest this summer, since Stellafane is on
a different weekend this year (woohoo). I might come on my Harley ...

I won't be compiling my 2005 "report" on the cost of Mustang ownership until
the end of this month, but here's last year's report:

For what it's worth, as of the end of September, my "cash cost" on an annual
basis was $8,207.45 and my accrued cost was $7,200.83.
