Away with the Old & Horray for the New

We ended February with an end of ownership of two tired cars. The '82 GMC Suburban was old enough to drink & it did, diesel that is, & the '90 Caprice Wagon was aging too. My college roommate, Tim H. once remarked, "Rob, you're the last owner of your cars!" Someone else once offered the following wisdom, "Never buy a car from a blessed man--the blessing might not follow the car!"

At any rate, the dealership gave us a little cash in trade for our two old vehicles and we bought the White '99 Chevy Suburban (foreground) with the money we had in our car sock. --That's the best way to buy a car... drive old ones while you sock away payments to your sock fund... when the "sock" gets tight, count it... if it is enough... then it is time to buy. We bought.

[It's so nice to never have had a car payment in our lifetime.]
