Steve, congratulations, and welcome to the non-bank owned club! I paid
mine off in March of this year (bought 10/04/04) and it was a rather nice
feeling that I, and no one else owned this car. And, the extra cash in the
back pocket has been equally nice.
I must say though, that in the 6 years I've been driving this car, I've put
some serious miles on it. I'm now at about 95,000 miles. But, still pulls
like a buffalo. Thus the name I've been my crossy... Tatanka!
If you wonder where that comes from, just stick your windshield wipers up,
like you are going to wash the windshield, step back and take a profile look.
Darn'd if that don't look like a buffalo (or a Spanish fighting bull). And,
with the "Devil Horns" (which to me look more like buffalo horns. as they
curve inward and not up and out), the name just kinda stuck.
Good luck with getting a mate for your high class garage ornament.
