in 15 Years.

Smart plan!  We have been using the saved money to do renovations/upgrades
to our house.  

When my Monte Carlo had the antifreeze leak on the lower manifold, I had to
decide to fix it, replace the motor, or just unload it.  I never really
wanted to unload it, but after going over the numbers, it was better to get
the new engine.  

Unless you buy a sub-1000 dollar vehicle, you are upside down in
practically all vehicles from the minute you buy it.  I know that I spent
more on my car for the new engine and transmission rebuild than I could
sell it for at this point, but the same could be said about a new car.  I
just keep thinking each money that goes by with no car payments how much we
are saving.. :)

Not to mention, I typically do enjoy working on cars.  The only exception
is when I am in a rush and have no spare vehicle (like now).  The Harley is
nice, but can't ride that in all conditions.. :)
