I hear you Lazarus,
The cost of new cars........yikees!
I'd **** a brick every time I hit a pothole. Not to mention all the road chemicals down on the roads this time of year.
I'm glad someone started making patch panels for my Honda's now. I love trying to keep an old car nice. Anyone car keep a new car nice, I have the most respect for someone that is trying to keep an old car sweet looking & running longer. My newest vehicle is a 98.
Having no car payments lets the wife & I have more toys, ATV's, Jet ski's, tools,
man cave, you get the idea!
