It's Paid For!
And I do mean 5 years. You see, Luann said she called the credit union that is holding the loan on the car this morning and found out we only owed 34 dollars on the car. Well, she told them to transfer the money out of our bank account and finish paying off the car. When she called me to tell me about it, I realized that the payoff of the loan was exactly 5 years from the day that we took delivery of the Magnum in North Carolina. Woo-Hoo!
And now, the search for the Magnum replacement begins.. Initially, we were talking about getting a Dodge Challenger, but due to Chrysler's recent financial problems, it looks like it's gonna be hard to get one ordered. So, we're looking at the new 2010 Chevy Camaro. Probably a 2LT Rally Sport (RS). The hard part is finding one where the dealership is actually willing to let us order one without having to put 3000 to 4000 dollars down to order it, and then they want us to pay at least the manufacturer's suggested retail price for it, if not more...
The Magnum, the same day we were driving it home from NC.
Y'see, the Challenger is a nice-looking, retro-60s hotrod. Something like the Magnum. 
But, the Camaro is a nice looking machine too. This is close to what we are looking for, except Luann wants it to be in RJT (Red Jewel-Tone).posted by The Nieborgs | 9/05/2009 03:51:00 PM

Yeah, I sort of have to, because when the extended warranty expires in March next year, this would mean I have to service the car and whenever something breaks, I will have to pay for it. I didn't mention that the car just came back from the shop to have the front suspension struts replaced because the rubber bushings failed. Thank goodness for the extended warraty, because it paid for the almost $400 repair...
