I hope to experience that feeling for the first time very soon. Need to start making double or triple payments.

One of the main reasons I bought my truck. If I keep driving her the average number of miles I have been, I'll reach 750,000 miles by the time I am 72...

So I have had no truck title since end of July and I don't like it.

Anyways that's my rant for now.
I would be looking into that Pete

Isn't that what you are supposed to do? I hate the yuppies that have to get a new vechicle every two years.

yes. I've had 3 vehicles since I was 15 (not counting my plow truck and project). First one got totaled in the ice storm we had. Second I sold last year after 11 yrs, and now I have my 'ploder.

I made my final truck payment this past May... man oh man is it nice not having a vehicle payment!!

My older sis & her hubby get a new minivan after 2 years simply because it was either spend it on a new vehicle to get the write-off, or send it to the gov't. Trust me, they're not yuppies; though he does drive an '07 Duramax. At least he admits mine is better suited for heavy work, but he'd outrun me all day long.

Oh I'll give you good reason...

heehee...I'm the same way. I'm admittedly more of a morning person. I should be in bed, I have to drive to Boston in the morning. I hate Boston.

I'm doing well tonight.

Ray, you're too damn stubborn. You'll make it to 95 at least. Speaking of which, are you going to have the surgery for your eye?

Mine will turn over 200k here in a few thousand miles. Might have to ready the camera so I can get a shot of the odo.
