Good for you!
I remember one rainy night, the night before my last payment was due on a Cadillac I owned, I was driving it home after filling it with gas thinking to myself, 'what am I going to do with the payment money next month?'
Within 30 seconds of that thought, someone T-boned my Caddy which ended up a total loss!!!!
Now I pay cash so I never have that thought again!
..rickko..
PS. Since the car was totaled, I never got use of the full tank of gas. Besides getting paid for the car itself, I submitted the gas receipt to the insurance co. Because of that and THEY PAID ME FOR IT TOO along with the new tires I'd put on within a week of the accident and a new windshield I had installed within a month of the accident! It pays to keep your receipts.
