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!!!!
