New ride...

Very excited, took my tax return and the wife's 04 Chevy Cavalier out to a Ford dealership and bought a nice '08 Dodge Calibur!

Is that water behind the wheel or have you been doing burnouts already?

Didn't get the SRT model or it is and you just took the emblems off already (thats a good idea).

Nah not the SRT model, didn't have the budget for that. I wanted to make sure I could fully pay for the car, I refuse to get a car payment.

Thats great but you know you just shot yourself in the foot in a chance to build up you credit score. I've bought two newer cars and when I finished paying them off, my credit score jumped up 25 points, then 35 (second was a lot more in cost). That being said I had the money to pay them off at any time I wanted. Again, I'm not trying to say what you did was wrong or anything, just wanted to point that out.

Well my first attempt at building credit back-fired... I see what you are saying tho, I just don't want to have to worry bout another payment.
