Cars and parts are not investment vehicles.

Tubman, now I am depressed
BUT after going through Non-Hodgkins Lympoma years ago, at the time they gave me two weeks to live, I made the realization that investing money for 'when you get old' mainly benefits the people you are giving the money to, to invest. Sitting on that examining table getting THAT news, all of a sudden interest rates and CD's and investments and all of that BS doesn't mean anything. Anymore.
I still subscribe to that, as our lives are fleeting past and we'll all be doing the dirt nap sooner than we think!i If something makes you happy you better get out there and BUY it today regardless of the cost. Tomorrow never comes.
