I just paid off my car. I guess I should be a good American, and go get a new one. nt

1. Congrats!

Make sure the new one is Japanese so you can get trounced on DU every coupla days.

3. Well, okay. My current one is a Ford Focus.

But I guess I could look elsewhere.

6. Ford Focus? Don't worry, you'll be looking for a new one soon

:hide:

13. HA!

2. Well you could buy a bicycle and use it to get around.

That would be good for your country and good for your planet as well.

It would also be good for the bike shop owner, no?

And maybe your health too.

4. I'm an American. I MUST have a car.

:eyes:

9. I see...

Oh well, I tried.

I'm an American and I do have a car, but the years I lived without one and lived on a bicycle I remember in a way very fondly.

I must say I was physically far more healthy then than at any other time of my life.

If I didn't have to go to work without a strong odor, I would definitely go back to that life, at least when the weather allows.

5. Oooh, wanna buy a used SUV?

Sell it to ya cheap...smokes and has a bit of a gas leak, but with gas prices back down, who cares?

8. I haven't had a car payment in six or seven years.

It's nice!

10. good luck getting a car loan! ;)

no seriously, our cars are both paid off, and it's really nice not to have to pay every month. I figure we can run em until they won't go anymore.

11. I had an escort that ran to 303,000 miles. One day, the engine froze up

and that was that. Couldn't even move it out of my driveway without a tow truck. But I got my money's worth. It'd be nice if this one did the same.

12. that's pretty impressive - gotta love those compact car engines- some of them

were wonderfully well built.

14. Congratulations.

I hope it's in good shape and keeps running for a bunch more years. :)
