How can anyone part with their VX

[KeithVXlvr]

You now have yours paid off, eh ??

I paid cash for mine. If I can't pay for it, I don't buy it. No credit card bills, no financing on anything other than my house. Heck, my duplex pays me money every month.

I have my house, my duplex and will soon have my water front property - I'll be paying cash - again.

We definately think very differently when it comes to finances and value.

I'll have my property and a 4 car garage - paid for.

you can have your cake, property and 8 car garage and pay the finance charges and monthly payments..... No Thanks.

BTW, I've been waiting for someone to say "you sold your VX so get off this site". Mayby now is the time and you are the guy.

Awww, c'mon Keith! Actually, I wish I had the money to pay cash for everything I own, but I simply don't. That said, I did pay cash for the Trooper and she is free and clear, just like my VX. Now, you just said you have a 4 car garage? So, you have 4 vehicles? Or are you planning to fill up the garage? I totally understand what you are saying, I just would have kept the VX to fill up one of those holes, ESPECIALLY if it was paid off. From the sound of it, you had neither a space or a money problem, so why did you sell your VX?

Most people ditch the VX because of money, or they are tired of it, or they want something more practical, but...

And BTW, you should stick around, you never know, you might end up buying another VX down the road!

Bart -that is my biggest fear.. HA !!

It was a case of re-directing capital away from a depreciating asset towards an appreciating assett ( River front property so I can fish for the rest of my life.) I am not a rich man but, I do the best I can to direct capital towards - and buy -assets, rather liabilities. And a car is a liability - it takes money out of your pocket everyday. I suggest you - or anybody - read "Rich Dad / Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Wiser words were never written.

I am planning on the four car garage: 1 bay for a driftboat, 1 bay for a 4 x 4, 1 bay for a life size model of Mimi Miyagi - fully functional of course! ( ), and 1 bay for me to drink beer and mess around. ( You mentioned an 8 car gargae so, I was being more reasonable. )

Currently, I own 1 car - the CRV. Paid cash in 2005 - 1 payment but, it still costs me money everyday: insurance, gas, tires, brakes etc.... The Jeep will be much cheaper to own, drive, fix mod, etc...

I am not cheap but, I have a deep seeted fear of being an old man wearing a white tank-top undershirt and eating cat food 'cause I have no money.

BTW - If you ever go on one of your camping trips again and head towards Oregon, I will meet you at the corner of Oregon and Nevada. I am 1 long day from that corner - have been there before - and would love to get back. It is wonderful out there!!!!

Hmmm, maybe I will check that book out...I need a new read.

I just did a Google image search...wow, but I have to say, I prefer Kobe Tai.

( You mentioned an 8 car gargae so, I was being more reasonable. )

And I was being sarcastic! Well, sorta! Honestly, at 4 cars (my 3 plus the wife's) I can't imagine taking care of any more. Like you said, they rob you of cash EVERY DAY. I just want my VX and the the Falcon "done", so all I have to do is enjoy them from time to time and change oil.

I'm totally with ya, I would like to be done buying toys by 45 and then just start planning out where my log cabin needs to be. Jarbidge sure did seem like a nice potential spot!

Yeah, I love Nevada. I really do. It's so diverse and so wide open. I've got nothing in the works at the moment, but I will let you know...
