After tooling around for a half-dozen years in el cheapo cars (that each cost around $600-$1200), I finally decided to splurge and get a new car I could be proud of and that wouldn't drain me on repairs.
My new car is a 1994 Buick Park Avenue. 109K miles, 1 owner, meticulously maintained and beautiful. All kinds of bells and whistles and leather seats and whatnot. Almost brand new transmission too. Good rubber.
The owner was even nice enough to deliver it and I gave him a ride back home in my old jalopy. He had just purchased a gorgeous new black Chrysler M300. That beast looked truly awesome in his garage.
If I had millions I don't think I would spend 40K on a car. Whywhywhywhy? Now, I could get a car and a finished plumbed cottage with around 20 acres for 40K total. The cottage and land is $37.5K. You just need to know where to look for these things.
I'm hoping I can run good enough this year to get the cottage and land (or similar) and still have a bankroll left over. No more rent/mortgage to pay ever, YIPPEE! Maybe if I run outstandingly good I'll go for one with more land. But I don't really expect that to happen as I generally run under par.
Y'all can have yer fancy cars--I'm fixin' to live like Ray Zee. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
2+2-ers may be invited to visit if they don't mind possum stew and squirrel. Salads fresh from the woods and herb garden.
