Cloud's car stuff

Actually, I agree with tw on this. It makes a tremendous amount of sense to pay cash for a car. Better to be making payments into a savings account where you will have interest working FOR you than to be paying someone else and have even higher interest working AGAINST you. If that means making do with a shit car for years while you save up the cash to buy one outright, then so be it. This is coming from someone driving a 15 year old car. Not gonna buy another one until we have the money for it. And then when we do, we'll start saving for the next one right away.

Only way I'd buy a car with a loan is if the interest rate was 0%.
