Car and Class

[stoney508]

I dont get the car thing as a status indicator I think a car is only worth the price if it is useful. I do admit I bought a SUV and that it wasnt the best choice but I do enjoy going camping and it has its use. I should have gotten a fuel efficient car that was probably half what I paid for my car. I dont regret my choice because I love my vehicle I just could have been smarter because I cannot afford to go camping enough as of right now but I will have this vehicle in the future to do these things maybe when im done paying down my SL.

I should note that I am about 6 foot and 270 and a small car like a 2 door honda civic would not have worked well for me so I would have been looking at bigger cars to begin with. The SUV fits my size well which in the past was not the case previous car was a 2 door dodge avenger and that was very low to the ground and very tiny. Sometimes you have to look for cars that fit you as well.

This is how I roll, 2007 Dodge truck. Bought it brand new in 2007 from Dodge dealer after seeing an advertisement for $13,999, they had 5 at that price. The Sunday paper had the auto classified section where they have lots of new vehicles at low prices, so I took the newspaper with me and to my amazement they had 4 left at that price (gray, white, black, brown). Automatic transmission with A/C and all else basic (ie, roll up windows, manual door locks, no cruise control, etc) but for the price I'm not complaining.

Beware the "thirty thousand dollar millionaire."

My friend who did grow up with multi millionaire parents ( and no one would know it by their lifestyle) calls them .10 cent millionaires.
