So, Alan. You're quite the dick swinging Airboat Bavaria outpost at this point. You're going to run two Kraut sedans and the truck? :impressive:

E30 is paid off, truck is nearly the same, and too useful to get rid of.
So, yes. Two of Munich's finest and a GMC.

Lol.

There's more to it, a lot went on behind the scenes.
I'm going to take some money out of the market, fix up the house, pay some things off.
Tired of living like a super :scrooge: kinda want to live a little more, and I have the means to do so.

If you already have a house, you're putting money into retirement, and have some emergency cash on hand... may as well :troywax: whatever is left available?

This is my feels as well. Biggest challenge for me is figuring out the emergency fund size. Ours is probably too big, but I'm too conservative to do anything with it...especially with the wife out of work in this economy.

Will probably just end up buying the Whorange :jeep: :truk: with it because :fullretard:

Buying the orange JT is indeed a sufficient use of emergency funds. :like:

:nice:

It's not a terrible decision, you'll end up with a paid off car you love that will give you many years of trouble free service and can accomplish everything you want out of a vehicle (camping trips, :haus: :pinshit: etc.

Every time I go down the path of "saving money", I end up spending about the same in the long run.

If I let it go, I'd swap to the cheapest Wrangler 2-door lease I can get...~$350/mo all-in then supplement with a :truk: of some sort. This will just perpetuate the :plac: cycle, and "cheap" trucks don't really exist much anymore. Stupid when the JT does everything I want in a single vehicle.

And since cheap trucks don't really exist anymore, the JT should hold its value pretty well. If the stock market ever reflects reality, it would probably be a safer place to park cash even.

This was how I justified blowing $40K on a :jeep: It was the only "family" vehicle that we both were excited about, so cool. But it's a lot of cash. That said, looking at used pricing, it seems fairly low risk. I figure, worst case, if we are over it after a few years or want to save money, it should still be worth 75% after 50K+miles. Not great, not terrible. It cost about $10K in depreciation to drive a used Fusion 130K miles... The same price got me 40K miles in a new :mk6: . I think That will get us at least 75K miles in a :jeep: I am OK with this.
