paid off car is so great

you know what feels really good is having a paid off car what is even better is having a paid off rx7 thats been modified. i just paid if off today with the thousand dollars i won from the Tennessee Lottery off of a 2 dollar scratch off ticket called nifty fifty. when i scratched off that ticket i about fell out on the floor. right there at the Kroger fuel center after i got off. i only bought ten dollars worth first ticket was a five dollar ticket, second one was a three dollar ticket, the third ticket had the numbers 22 and 30 i scratched all the way down and there were 4 #30's and 6 #22's on it so then i scratched the prize amounts off and they were all 100. the forth ticket was nothing and the fifth was another three dollars. so i drove up to Nashville and got the money and paid off my car i have the title right here in my hand. its a really good feeling to have my first title i have ever gotten myself. has anyone else had experiences like this before?

Instead of buying lottery tickets and scratchers now. I just leave my money at the register and tell them to give it to the winning person.

Imagine how much better it would feel to have actually earned the money, rather than won it......

yeah thats good i only played these tickets because one of the accounting managers always buys tickets so i told him that i was going to buy those specific tickets to see if i could get the big winner in the roll before him. this is the first time i played scratch offs since i quit selling cars back in April. i was just toying with him to buy more tickets because it get him going and he will spend like 100 - 200 dollars at a time i spent 10 he was pretty mad

yeah it would have been better but none the less it is paid off. and i can now change it as i will and not have to worry about owing any money when i leave for the Navy in May. i was doing extra things to get it paid off anyways now i can just use the money to make the car look even better.

I would hate myself if I needed a loan for my FBs. For the three I owned I paid a total of 1,250 for my 82gsl 85gs and my 85gsl. Of Course I paid 700 for the first one, after totalling it (not my fault) I got 1500 and bought my 2nd one for 250 and after that got totalled (not my fault) I got antoher 1200 from insurance and bought the 85gsl i have now for 300 . Fbs aren't expensive if they don't run.

damn near spent as much money renting trailers to move my cars around
