This is where everyone who is poor on the OT fronts and talks about how their cars are paid off and they’ll drive their 2015 into the ground before buying new.

Conveniently…

I replaced the transmission in my F-150 this week instead of purchasing a new vehicle. I’m not paying 15k more for the same vehicle coupled with a 6-9% interest rate.

Much cheaper to pay the 10k for the transmission.
