Well Played!

I drove junk for years. I used the money to invest in real estate and stocks.

I never understood why people pay interest on something that goes down in value.

Paid cash for my first brand new car in 2000. It was a Mustang convertible I ordered from the factory and drove it for 17 years and 242,000 miles.

I bought my daughter a new 2007 Chevy Cobalt in '07. 16 years later, she still has the car :)
