Re: The Titan has been parked!
I have gone round and round on this issue, selling the Titan, parking it etc... It has me constantly thinking and rethinking my situation. I almost made an impulse buy, an even swap of my 2004 Titan 4x4 (32k miles and paid off) for a almost stripped, but new Nissan Versa. Dealer made the offer.
After posting here for suggestions, it was pointed out to me that the 13 to 14 miles of round trip, daily commuting was not bad. Factor in the fact that the GF in an effort to get me to keep the truck for house work, and hurricane issues (flooded areas, carry the generators etc...) is driving the Maxima lease more and more each day, my car pooling is a bit one sided to my benifit. I have promised to keep, but park the Titan.
I did buy a 2008 350Z in early March and have paid it 1/2 off already. I could have it completely paid off in a years time (March 09) but will hang onto the extra money in case the bottom falls out of my job, economy, etc... or God forbid hurricane damage or personal illness to me, GF, dog etc....
I will be driving the Z more than I wanted to originally, was gonna be my dream car, garage queen and have it in perfect shape even after 10 years, but that is probably out the window now.
I know it does not sound like a sacrifice (because it isn't), but I have a bad feeling that one day in the next 4 or 5 years (maybe sooner) I will not have either Titan or Z, and me and the GF will be sharing some little puke mobile car.
