RE: "I haven't had a car payment since 1990-91"

I'm still driving my 1999 Nissan Maxima which I bought new in October of 1998. Leased it for 4 years, bought it on a 4 year loan. Why? 'Cause I love it! Fits me like a glove. Haven't had a car payment since 2006 - fifteen years ago!

Well, that's not entirely true: We made payments on my wife's Nissan Pathfinder until 2009 (four years). She put - are ya ready for this - 350,000 miles on it. It finally blew a gasket (literally) while on a trip in Wisconsin. Limped along (going through about 10 quarts of oil) 'til it finally gave up "the ghost" near Rolla, Missouri, where we lucked into a used (9,000 miless on it) Pathfinder at the local Nissan dealership on the Saturday before New Year's (a few years ago). Whew! That was a close one!

Drove back up there a couple weeks later to pick up the repaired old one, and sold it for $900. So, now we've got a car payment again, for about another year. Still, NOT having a car payment for years was REALLY nice. Looking forward to it again soon.
