Sure, it's easy to get jealous of the people around you driving brand new BMWs but then you realize that about 60% of those people are leasing them and just throwing money away.

I loved that thing! It's funny- it lasted until about two weeks ago when my parents sold it on craigslist! My first car was a 1993 Ford F150. I loved that thing!

I traded in on the Cars for Clunkers at my wife's urging, but a week doesn't go by that I don't still think about it. :( I still miss my 1991 Ford F150 I bought for $200.

I eventually sold it to get something more practical for our family (two door sedans are not ideal when you have four kids). I got a little better than $2k for it after driving the heck out of it, then put that money toward a new CR-V (paid for in cash). I agree, there's nothing better than owning your wheels instead of paying someone else on an ongoing basis. BTW, how many miles does your truck have? I've always wanted a big ole truck.

It is almost as if he has to save me from myself. As a result he has become very handy in fixing the door locks, directional, etc. The car just hit 200K miles and is doing ok. Both cars are paid for and the thought of another car loan makes me sick. I am slowly stashing away money for a new car while I pay down the *!$%* HELL LOCK.

I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent hatchback that I OWN. And I am so grateful that I own it almost every time I drive it. I have done the same as you in the past -- hear a rattle and say to myself "time for a new car and loan." I bought this car used and I did have to finance it, but I paid it off in two years, and have been car payment free since 2005. I vowed this would be the last car I ever financed, and would pay cash for the next one. BUT I'm fixing what needs to be fixed and hope to get many many more years out of my beloved little car. Not to mention the lower cost of insurance and excise tax. Right on. I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent hatchback that I OWN. And I am so grateful that I own it almost every time I drive it.
