Agree with your sentiments about replacing a vehicle when it runs well and is paid off, especially in this economic enviroment. I did not know there were so many others on this board that had vehicles as old, or even older than mine.
Some days I thought everyone on this board drove swanky new cars, had huge bank accounts, and took lavish vacations.
I am just happy when all of my appliances work, and get to go out to dinner each week. Other than that my wants are small, besides these new cars have so much technology in them, that I am almost arfraid to buy one. I was once use to driving my old British sportscar, you know the ones that had problems with their exhaust systems, and had the occassional part fall off as you drove down the road.
As for the action in this morning's market, could someone explain to me why oil is down so much.
