Congrats! Had that same feeling a couple weeks ago. Definitely feels good. Now I can actually mod without feeling too bad about it

Nice... congrats. That's one of the reasons I'd waited to long to get mine... didn't want a loan out on it with the wife now retired...

Safe Miles!

I managed to get it knocked out over a year early. It was so hard to stick with it after seeing several blowers floating around in the for sale section.

Ha, ha. There's never been one of these threads where someone proudly announces the final payment on their car where someone else doesn't chime in about how they paid cash.

I have one more payment on my Dakota (vette paid for) and that will be my last car payment for a long time (hopefully). Congratulations. It's a great feeling.
