Haha, agreed Albert. I paid $6000 for that car in 2008, drove it for 4 years, insurance gave me $4300 for it then I sold all the parts for around $2000 so I drove the stupid thing for free. Minus gas, insurance, a set of cheap rotors/pads, and spark plugs but those items weren't bad at all.
I will NEVER have an auto loan, there's no vehicle I want that bad. It about kills me to have a mortgage, ha.
I have nothing against those that do, just feel there's better things.
That and the added safety of our riggs. Had a good friend get hit head on by a guy whacked out on OxyContin last weekend. His Duramax saved his life for sure, guy who hit him wasn't so lucky. Troopers told him that any lesser of a vehicle and he wouldn't be here either...
