Good morning.
A stressful weekend. Had to trade my truck in for a lease car. Rear differential was going out, no big deal. Then I found a rod knock. Ouch! It had a all aluminum block motor. Not what I'm use to. I still owed 8k on it. Would have cost that and then some to fix. Very sad. Well, I have a reliable awd car for the next 3 years. Never leased before, but had no choice. The dealer paid off the loan with negative equity. A brand new car was out of the question right now. Didn't expect this and didn't want to spend savings on down payment right now. Maybe in a couple years, I'll trade it in and get something new/used. Im paying the same amount on the lease as I did on gas for the truck a month. Plus 33 miles to the gallon isn't bad. Just need to keep it in good condition and the miles down.
This week will be better. The past is the past.
Have a great day. Hope you all had a good weekend.
Stay positive. Its almost Friday!
