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!!!"

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.

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.

^ 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?!?!?!?

Hopefully the other two downstream sensors will hold up.
