Default Shes officially mine!

Well, after 13 months, the car is finally paid off and MINE. Nice to say "this is my Corvette" instead of "this is the banks ...but they let me drive it". Sorry for the random post but I am so excited and proud at the same time too. Time to start saving for some SP500s

It's a good feeling knowing that after a certain amount of you working and saving, you can call something "yours".

Cars seem to run better when they're paid off.

Forty-six payments until I can say that, sooner if I can make some prepayments.

Happy Holidays to all! For those of you who can drive your Vettes year-round, enjoy. The rest of us will have to wait until spring.

The true title to a car it the Manufacturers Statement of Origin. An honest new car dealer will verify that. Upon "sale", the MSO is transferred to the capitol of whatever state the new car was sold in so that the value of the car can be pledged to the national debt. The denial of our right to possess allodial title also enables the perpetual taxation and regulation of the car. A Certificate of Title represents the fact that a title exists and that you now have equitable interest in that car.
