Default Finally no more payments

I just paid the car off last night. Man if feels good to not have anymore car payments. Paid it off in less than a year. Now I can save up for a twin turbo kit or but another one to turn into a track car, or a house or a big garage or a house with a big garage - ohh the possibilities.

Just had to let someone know.

Ricky

Getting rid of a car payment usually costs me more than payments would have because I end up going into debt again to buy more stuff!

Congratulations on gettin the monkey off your back early!
