I thought due to inflation, 50cent is now known as "buck fifty cent" .... or pound in the UK

Likewise. But unlike Deltabound I don't like drivng beaters (or having them in my driveway) so I drop a little coin to maintain the paint and interior too, as needed.

I’ve read every issue of car and driver since about 1998. So I have a 700+ horsepower shiny noisemaker too. Gotta have a hobby. When the beater my wife was driving left her and the kids stranded on the freeway while I was recovering from a redeye in the Westin DTW I decided to get her a new car too. Mostly because I think the safety improvements are important and let’s be honest, we can totally afford a decent kid hauler off the dealer lot. Don’t get me wrong, I still played the game: waited till the end of the month, shopped around, pitted 3 dealers against each other and nailed down a less than 1% interest rate. Dave Ramsay would be shaking his head, but who Fin cares.

I do the same. I keep my wife in a new car. Last thing I need is her and the kids on the side of the road while I’m in the air. Sometimes “piece of mind” is worth more than financial sense
