My mini?

My faithful old Toyota, Jezebel, has served me well since 1991. I first borrowed her from my dear friend Maxine, and then I purchased her in 92. I used her to go over a mountain to a nearby city to visit my son when he was in the hospital recuperating from his head injury

Oooh, Mini!

I think I'm going to try to hold out a few more months, at least, so I can pay for my next crown, get a few things squared away, and pay down my debt a bit more. If Jezebel is willing to carry me while I'm mentally cheating on her.

Then I have to decide, lease or buy? One of my thoughts was to simply lease for a couple of years to get that new car thing out of my system, and if I am still working and need a car by then buy the sensible used Toyota Corolla. Lease payments are 299.00, far more manageable in terms of continuing to pay the rest of my debt down.

But don't be surprised if I finally break and just go buy the damn car.

I realized I won't be in a position to do some of the trips Dave and I have been talking about doing in the next few years if I buy a car.

Ah, big financial decisions--my least favorite kind.

sigh...it's a nice dream but I think I'll have to go for the sensible two or three year old car with lower payments, should last me a lifetime.
