I am starting to look at cars now. My truck is almost paid off and I am tired of driving a big truck to work daily. I test drove a Nissan Murano..nice but lots of road noise. I also test drove a Lexus...yeah..sigh..I want to but my frugal living may or may not allow me to buy it..but i really like it.
That's exactly me, I've been eyeballin slightly older 911's Porsches for a few yrs now, I want one, I just don't wanna spend the damn money....
I doesn't help that I drive by a Porsche dealer on my way home from work everyday...
I know how damn impractical that car is, but I've wanted one for 15 yrs now.... I couldn't afford one then, now I can swing it easier, but still.... I keep trying to live a more simple "toy" free life, but that is a toy that I have a hard time getting out of my mind.
I also looked at a 2010 Lexus SUV. I don't know...it will be nice to NOT have a car payment for a bit...but I am really sick of driving the truck. BUT I can suck it up.
I was just looking online autotrader.com..... you can get into the lower end Porsche's for 35k......
I'm with you, I don't wanna spend a lot of money on a car......
Some of the younger engineers in my office all drive nice BMW's.... LOL, up to their necks in school loan debt and cars loans.
Yup...my husband works with a few guys that are single and/or a bit younger (they work for him) and they all drive the cheaper Mercedes and BMW models. He drives a crappy ass pick-up truck...LOL
He needs a car SO BAD and he keeps asking my opinion on cars, and then he gets insulted and/or annoyed when I don't share his enthusiasm for the car he's looking at.
Such a waste to spend too much on a car that depreciates as you drive it off the lot.
I think we should play a game called Whose Ride Was Cheaper. LOL The make and model really don't impress me. Many expensive ones look like less expensive ones to me, so it doesn't matter. In fact, there are expensive cars that I think are ugly.
So, who has plans for the 4th? My plans started at the liquor store after work this afternoon. I picked up a 6-pack of Mike's Hard Black Raspberry Lemonade - ice cold and yummy. And a bottle of Bicardi . . . just in case. One never knows if they are going to have a liquor emergency. LOL
I'm doggie sitting for a week, so I may do chores. I may not. I may go out for fireworks. I may not. Just call me Spontaneous. oooooooo

I just got back from the store and Mrs. Chow is in the kitchen and if I know her, she's getting a cocktail together for us......

Yeah, I haven't had a car payment in 15 yrs..... I have a company vehicle and we have an older paid off Mustang.
It is nice to not have to fork over money for car payments.....
