Well, i definitely don't need to sell the car. I just WANT to that's all. I'm bored of driving a Mustang every single day and need something to slosh through the snow. I could buy a cheap-ass little beater, but i really don't have a place to park it although i guess i could manage for 3-4 months this winter if need be.
But you are right. My car has been paid off for a while and nothing is wrong with it at all, so every month I drive it is money in the bank vs a car payment. Granted it is depreciating more with each mile, but it's better than a $400/month payment I guess. I wouldn't be saving anything on gas either as the car's i am looking to replace it with average mid-20's highway as well. I've easily done 25MPG with this thing on the highway...and do mostly highway driving
Anyway new wheels should be here tomorrow or thursday and i'll get my new tires after the holiday. Good timing too because i just discovered a HUGE spike in my rear tire that i don't think a plug would fix. I left it for now because the tire holds air and i think i'll make things worse if i yank it. It's a good 3/8" in diameter
