I figured our mode of transport was worth a post. Todd and I bought this 1993 Renault Clio after being in the country for a week. It was the second car we looked at and we paid 900 euro. However, about a month ago during a rainstorm a large piece of cement roofing fell from the top of a four story building that was being worked on and smashed the back hatch, just missing the rear window. The roofing company paid us 600 euro not to take it to the insurance company which brings our total car investment down to 300. This hotrod boasts a 1.2 L engine that gets close to 50 mpg! Sounds good until you factor in that the cost of gas here is currently hovering around 1.3 euro a liter (US = $6.00 USD per gallon) (Canada = $1.70 cdn per Liter). I am not going to lie — this car is fast. Last night I raced a smart car and lost but we had three people in the car.
