I named my Forte Khloe, full name Khloe Kardashian. I couldn’t resist. Hi Bruce.

Hard work and circumstance homie, I’m almost 30 so I’ve had time to stack some paper, I was driving literal buckets before this. Best advice is to buy used with under 40k miles. It can be cheaper than an Accord in some places

@DeeMario
Ah man, not only that, the insurance is too much here. I got quoted £5k/year just to drive one :joy:. I think I’d rather drive a turd on wheels at that point :joy:

Fuck me, my insurance is 3200 USD yearly for great coverage. (Radar detector is a must to keep those rates in this car)

@DeeMario
If only they’d reduce the price for having a radar detector here – they barely do it for dash cam users!

@DeeMario
Hertz car sales were selling some with 30k miles for like $28k last year I checked. I should have bought one

Got mine in 2021 with 9k miles for 30 flat which is the main reason I was like ‘fuck it, I’ll buy it’

That is one handsome car and color

Great color, are you ever worried about parking so far back that the rear bumper is over the curb?

Thanks! Tbh the front bumper is about 2 inches lower so I back in almost all the time because the front lip catches on almost every curb, never had an issue with the exhaust clearing the curb either

@DeeMario
Good points. I back in just because I can line up better horizontally with the rear camera and I like being able to just pull out. Never really thought about the bumper height difference.

The thing is LOOOOOng too. Like SUV long, so backing in is preferred anyway

Nice having no car payments, right?

Dude, it’s wild, the payments were about 630 but I ended up paying it off like 2 years early because I was getting tired of paying it every month lmao

@DeeMario
Good for you. I had car payments for about 40 years, haven’t had one since 2019. It’s really a great feeling to finally be in that position!

You seem like you are financially literate. Hopefully, you are applying some of that ‘car payment’ money to investments or savings.

@Natashawilliams
Oh buddy, I just came up so fat on XRP, flipped profits into a down payment for a house for me and my wife, paid off the car and paid off both credit cards she and I had. The road to financial literacy and adjacent freedom is bumpy but it starts by being as close to debt free as you can be. Shit just adds up.

Live within your means but for the love of God, do nice things for yourself to make the hard choices now worth it.

@DeeMario
Well said, my friend!
