Default It's All Mine!!

Paid the Vette off a few weeks ago but forgot to get on CF to brag about it. In fact the wife and I paid off her SUV and our motorhome in addition to the Vette. It feels really good to be debt free.

Congrats. I know the feeling well. I paid off the C-5 a bunch of years ago but just paid off the C-6 and got the title a couple of weeks ago.

I paid off plenty of cars to only fall into the trap of buying another. I used the ole excuse well since I was already paying a note why not continue and have a newer car to boot?

Not this time.....I will resist, I will resist, I will resist!

There is a local guy who went in to buy my Vette an hour after I had already bought it and he still wants it. Maybe....
