Amen! I have bought exactly one new car with a loan in my adult life, and never again will I have a car payment.
Lately I've been a little down about all the things wrong with my daily driver, for which I have little time to devote to repairs. I had been thinking that it was time to throw in the towel and buy a new(er) car and give up the DIY aspect of car ownership. Work and family demands on my time may yet force me in that direction, but this thread has reminded me why I started down this path 20 odd years ago, and why it is a good path. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 12:13 PM, Kyle Arola via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > That is true, but most of these people will also be living in bondage their > entire lives, slaves to the system.
