As of July 7, 2013, I have officially been driving the same car for the last 10 years. My parents did me a huge service by making the downpayment on my beloved Toyota Matrix when I was 16, and then passed the monthly lease payments off to me for the next 6 years, until I owned my car outright.

But after opening night, The Lone Ranger only raked in $9.7 million. Ruh-roh, Silver.
