  走在北京、上海这样的大城市，我们随处可见的不再是两个轮子的自行车，而是带着四个轮子飞速奔跑的汽车。在人们的观念中，汽车就是身份、品位和财富的象征。不用说，汽车跑得快，而且又省力，又时尚，当然价格也是高得惊人的。可与那笔高额的买车钱相比，真正让人害怕的是用在养车上的无数笔花费。

你知道吗？最近好多车都在降价。搞得我心痒痒的。

别提了。我去年就因为这，头脑一热去买了辆车回家，弄得现在左右为难，都后悔死了。前车之鉴，你可要理智一点啊。

你都把我说糊涂了。降价买车是捡了个大便宜，有什么好后悔、为难的？不瞒你说，你开着那辆跑车，可带劲了，不知道羡慕死多少人呢！

哎，潇洒是潇洒，但这可是要付出沉重的代价的。不是我开玩笑，没有人民币，寸步难行。车这东西啊，开了才知道，就像湿面粉，甩也甩不掉。油钱、保险、养路费、停车费还有罚单，一年下来，养个车至少得两三万。我现在每天一发动，心里就想100块又没了。哎，实在养不起啊。
