Well done. In our case the interest rate is much less than we earn on investments, so it makes sense to just make payments as planned.

Thanks Tom. I appreciate that.
I refinanced last year. I was at 3.75% originally and then after I refinanced, I was at 1.99%. I saved about 100 bucks a month, but I still sent in the same amount to purposely pay it off early.

But,..........I did write out a check for another 3 month payoff this morning. Next payment is due in December of 2018.
I decided over the weekend that am paying the total balance in full next month. I "should" have the title in my hands by mid-November.

Thank you! I love the look of cars too. The 13 was just coming out when I bought my 12. I prefer how it looks. Whenever I see a pic of yours, I do get a little jealous. I love that color and what you've done just makes it better.

Kind of the same here, I hate interest with a passion. Unless the interest is less than I can make on my money somewhere else, I'll pay cash for a car. In the last few years I've bought 7 new cars, 08 GT/CS, 08 Shelby GT, 09 Accord EX-L, 11 GT500, 11 Accord EX-L, 13 Accord Ex-L, 15 Grand Cherokee Overland and paid cash for all of them except the 13 Accord because they were offering 0% interest at the time.

Enjoyed driving it to work the past week and also received the ram mount so I am going to be attempting to install that later after work today (as of post)

Re-installed the Alcoas onto the girlfriend's GT500, replaced the banged up original front chin splitter with a new OEM replacement, and re-installed the license plate hideaway thingy.

The Alcoas are officially for sale though ... she wants a different wheel, as much as she loves these ...

Thanks, and yeah she most likely will, but she wants to run wider ties than what these rims allow, due to their aggressive offsets

She should consider adding an inch to the rear wheels. My friend did that on his. Up to 11 wide. Now they look awesome. He's running 305s I think.
