Not Worth It

Driving and owning a “dream” car is way overrated. Besides the name and notoriety of certain cars its still just another car with four wheels, and it goes forward, backwards, and turns left and right. I’m not recommending that anyone drive a piece of junk, but take for example my situation. I owned a Cadillac CTS - great car but again, just a car. It went forward, backwards, and turned left and right (it also had an aux input, very important for iPod lovers like myself). But I did some research and now I’m driving a brand new Pontiac Vibe (don’t worry, the ’09 has the Toyota Matrix engine and great head room) with 0% interest for 72 months and cut my monthly payments in half! I got it at the Reynolds dealership in West Covina of course because they seriously rock, you don’t feel like your being hunted by sales associates who are foaming at the mouth. Anyway look, my point is, don’t fall into this trap that driving the right car will make you happy or give you some type of fulfillment. Just make sure it’s reliable and that it has an auxiliary jack for your iPod.

  1. good stuff. I'm on a "Simple Living" personal campaign myself. Not easy. We have fallen for the Mammon trap. It's time to get out and help others get out too! Great post
