And you know this!

 

Did a few things with Marilyn today...

Drove her to work...only day this week, since rain rest of week. Enjoyed a nice lunch drive of about 40 miles. Was gorgeous today.

Took my son to home depot in it for some errands, then took him for some ice cream. We then sat outside the store to eat it and just admired her . "son, someday she will be all yours..." lol

I also love how when I give her a little gas, he gets all giddy and says, "let's do that again, daddy!!!"

 

Well I looked at pics and dreamed of mine again

 

changed my o2 sensor

 

Hated doing that in my Ford Stranger.. Blew through 2 of them in 7 years.. :bummer:

I took mine to Jack In The Box and now the handling is even more sluggish after carrying around the extra weight I gained from Breakfast.

 

I refinanced to get a better APR and shorten my term which worked out to lower my payments by $50 a month.

 

Nice.
DaSFGiants4Life, not as many folks refinance their cars as, say, their house because of the relatively small window you have to do it. Generally you cant really refinance for a year because the market, your credit, debt to income, etc., will be roughly the same. And theres no sense in refinancing in the last year or two of the loan because youre mostly paying principal at that point. So, depending on the length of your loan, you likely have a 2-4 year window whereas, in a house, you might have up to a 20-year window and save a lot more money. And you have to have as good or better credit at the time you want to refi, along with a decent market to get some good rates. All that being said, it is worth doing, sometimes multiple times depending on credit/rates, because any saved money is good money. If Blackbird has, say, 3 years left, that's like $1,800 of mod money.

 

Yeah, I had decent credit for my age. But still I was the only one signing so FoMo Credit was the only one that approved me. It was 7.9% for 72 months. Not ideal but I stuck with it already planning in a years time to try to refinance. With this one i got 60 months @ 2.9%. So I knocked a year off what I had left plus saved money.

 

Wow 7.9???? Good move on the refinance. I didn't even know loans came that high.

 

Wasn't surprised it was that high. I was surprised/relieved that I got approved at all. But with my card and then the new loan I was banking on being able to improve on a refi in the next year.

 

Some dealer got my wife with 13.9% on her first new car before I met her. She didnt have bad credit either, just very little activity as she was young. Thieves.

 

Installed sway bar. Wow really tight fit.

Shocks tomorrow. Buckle everything up.

Clean her up and get her on th's road.

 

^ Nice man. What brand did you get? I'm still debating if this is a worthy investment for me. I really want the rear Shelby spoiler



What I did with Marilyn today? I drove her this morning, dropped kid off at daycare, then off to work, and enjoyed the deep baritone rumble of my exhaust. Later on, I plan on giving her a good wash, in time for a get-together with some car buddies tomorrow. I can't have her showing up all dusty now, can I?!?!?!?

 

Took her to Dunkin Doughnuts for a mocha iced coffee and then the car wash.

 

Put these smoked lights on

 

Looks good, me need

Painted d/s interior door yesterday, very happy with the color match. Doing p/s today.

 

Haven't seen Regina in a week, we will be reunited tonight!!

 

changed the other upstream 02 sensor yesterday ..... damit Hopefully the other two downstream sensors will hold up.

 

Washed her, we finally got a break from the darn rain.

 

Drove around on this beautiful hot Texas day
