but yeah I just take a car payment as like having a mortgage, paying rent. It's unavoidable. The quest, for me, is being content with it as a toy/dd. I can't have both. It has to be all-in-one somehow. I'm not there right now hence it will go when the time presents itself.

Current ride had & still has interim tag all over it. Never wanted it, still don't want it. Stuck with it. I don't need or want a sedan. If I had a car with 4 doors I'd assume drive the Outback. What is down the road? Beats me - the way I keep getting paid? It won't be anything to post multiple pics of I'm afraid.

I've only not had a car payment once - that ended when I sold s2000 #2.

I realized I can't do it. However, I'm also in a very different situations w/ the ability to lease a DD super cheap. In a different world I would have to make the same choice.
We also have our own life situations that happen. Work, health etc. which is why it's frustrating for me at times because not everything is always disclosed to everyone.
But, right now I'm in the best spot I've been in years.

My plan right now:
Get something in the 5k range and pay cash. Something old that I won't have to run through marta. No computer garbage or electric this or that. 4 wheels and an engine(of course ac and radio).
And then once I'm married, look into a nice c6, and since Kaitlyns car is paid off(worst case is she buys one before the marriage, but she has like 20k saved up) one car payment isn't bad.
