$3,800 dollars paid for this used Ford 150
Who says you have to get into debt just to buy a used vehicle, or in this case a used pickup truck.
Better to outright own, and not be as cool, than to make payments on new vehicle, look cool to self, but be broke all the time.

I'm getting in that 'I want a newer car' mode again, but this time I want it to be a Dodge Challenger, a used one though...plenty of good, to decent used Challengers out there. Why do I want a newer sports car now? For me, it's more like 'why not?' I mean I've got absolutely nothing else going on in my life right now, all the other stuff I tried doing has failed, so it comes back to just 'me', and my small lane in life. I have no one else to impress but myself now, no one cares what I say, how I look, how smart or dumb I am, none of that matters, I now realize. But what does matter, since nothing else matters, is maybe me at least getting my dream sports car, while at least that aspect of my life still does matter. Either way I'm getting older, don't really like my job, and one day won't be able to afford anything and will be to sick to work, so why not enjoy myself while here? And maybe having a newer, cooler, ride might inspire me to get up and out more, cause as of now all I do is sit at home when not working on the job. I have no social life at all. So ye, maybe I'll see about getting a newer, cooler, sports car, for me, since 'me' is all I can impress or impact anymore.

I got approved for a auto loan on Friday, told them I'd call back today, and I haven't. I think I've changed my mind. I really don't want 500 dollar payments for 48 months. I mean during these economic times that would be a total moral killer.
Sure, I'd have a cool Dodge Challenger, a used one, sitting out in the parking lot, but then what? I really don't chase women anymore, so other than myself, who would I be impressing?
I'd make about 3-4 payments, and then I'd want to get rid of it cause I'd see how unable to save any money, and or see as money supply begins to dip do to high car payments...
So for now, I'll continue driving the two older, but paid for, vehicles I already have. I guess I just was never meant to prosper in this world.

I just ordered one of these auto battery jumper kitsJust ordered a NOCO auto battery boost, I mean everyone needs one of these, cause depending on who you are, it can be hard to get a batter jump for your car if at a grocery store or anywhere else. Especially if a tall, older or even younger B guy, who's going to give you a battery boost these days? Everyone will think you're trying to rob them or set them up, so it's best to come prepared and have one of these babies in your vehicle. Ordering mine from Amazon, and looked at reviews, liked what I saw. I'll feel much better knowing this thing is in my vehicle, but because it's so handy, and costs around 100 bucks, I'll probably take it with me inside every time not driving either vehicle, would hate for a thief to steal it.

I own two older, paid for vehicles right now. I've got money to pay cash for a newer vehicle now, but now that I have the cash to buy a new vehicle, do I really want to? I'm single, and so who am I trying to impress? The women, or people, around here, their opinion of me wouldn't change no matter what vehicle I drove.
And nor would mine of them. Newer cars are such a waste of money....if can't pay cash, why even bother.

Oddly enough, I did end up getting a Dodge Challenger, a used one, but it's decent, and only has 86,000 miles on it and some change. I don't feel any cooler. I did pay cash for it, so it's kind of an investment, in that can always sell if need money badly.
