OK, thanks to the tax cuts and deregulation of industry the economy has boomed more in the past two years than in the previous 8 or 16. Therefore, I leveraged the good times, paid my house off and bought a vette.

Congratulations on your achievements!

The proof is overwhelming that our new President has changed the Economy dynamically, effectively doubling the APR+ of our GDP! #MAGA!

Not to mention the more steeply expanding deficit and trade wars. Good to make hay before the next mis-engineered crash.

The tax cuts alone, were what saved me a good portion of what paid for my new C7 purchase too. Plus, my new C7 is a 100% tax write off. Win-Win! Thanks for sharing in your new Corvette purchase too! #LUVTHESECARS!

Congratulations! I remember that awesome feeling of no more car payments - was that way for a long time with my '08 C6. But I couldn't resist getting a Z06 so back to a car payment but it is most definitely worth it to me!

Enjoy the feeling and save the wave!

I paid off my C7 last September, and now that the payments are gone I am pining for a new SUV to put next to it in the garage. My wife thinks I am out of my mind.

As a CPA who's specialized in tax for the last 18 years (including IRS audits & audit resolution), be wary of statements like that... If you drive the car for personal purposes, it is NOT a 100% write-off. The only way it could be 100% is if it is ONLY used for business and never driven personally (including commuting to/from home).
