You know, there's a solution to that... it's called cash. :biggrinjester:
Well, sorta - that solution involves 5 years of savings, which is close to the same thing.

Luckily the smell of the gun and gun oil can stay on your hands for a while.

The new car smell only stays in the new car.

And with the interest rates these days, monthly payments seems to make more sense.

I like buying gently used such as through Texas Direct Auto. Somebody else eats the depreciation, a decent deal is had and no haggling is involved.

One thing is for sure, I can't afford a car a year. :lol:

Not a bad idea... Just went shooting with my brand new XDs 9 mm this morning. Now, I will be cleaning it. :fire

GUNS ARE THE ONLY THING I ACTUALLY ENJOY CLEANING... Another weird thing about me and guns! :lol::
