Nothing wrong with getting rid of a car payment! I don't have a problem with moding a DD but I also like to keep a spare or two around for when you get in it in the morning and they don't crank you just get out and go to the next. I enjoy driving an old paid for car more than a new one with a payment.

When later model cars start to get old (which includes pretty much anything built in the 90s) then you get to enjoy the fun of fixing all that computer operated stuff. It was great when it worked right, but not so great when you realize how many "extra" parts one of these things has, compared to a car/truck from the 1960s. And the extra parts aren't cheap, either. $800 for an ABS module, $300 for an in tank fuel pump, $300 each for plastic electric window regulators, not to mention the computer control system on the transmissions.

That is why I unloaded the Ram, it was getting too expensive to maintain...It was a good truck for 10 years, alright for 11 and 12 but then...*poof* up in smoke...
I am onboard with most everyone here..DD's dont need to be effed with...My Mustang is a prime example...perfect as it is for my applications. I get 20 aroudntown and can knock down between 27 and 32 on the highway...why eff with that? if I start modding, dependability comes into question as does the fuel mileage...
