Not because you drive a "rust bucket" but because you are so confident about yourself and who you are that your car doesn't matter, it doesn't define you.

I have no monthly car payments, and many of my friends are stuck paying upwards to 250 a month on their cars, no thank you!<br /><br />Great blog.

I was well into my thirties before I even got my drivers licence. I just love to bike.<br /><br />And therefore I let the people who make these remarks keep their fear of doing something differently and I keep on biking with a smile on my face and my hair in the wind.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470810820417327936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-52775288136888227142009-09-18T08:10:41.238+02:002009-09-18T08:10:41.238+02:00I enjoyed your post.

I kept on thinking I should get something more suitable to my income, but then wondered if I would like taking it over rough roads and detours. Needless to say I kept the original car (until I wrote it off) and it did me fine.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862456555843381366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-59850333806332592512009-09-18T04:43:00.783+02:002009-09-18T04:43:00.783+02:00Like OP I was hoping for a photo of the car.

...this is the best post I have read in forever!!!!<br /><br />I love love love it- it makes me smile. BECAUSE you are right (of course) <br /><br />We are who we are - with or without our "stuff" <br /><br />To me, you are wise. A thing like a car that runs and is dependable enough is a smart choice. You never get your money back on a new one. A $300 repair is far cheaper then a $300 a month payment on a new one.<br /><br />Brilliant (oh and second spud -mind your own friggin business people!

I've tried to replace it with a newer model, but that one broke down, so I insisted on switching back to this one. Plus, none of the new ones have a clip that I can stick on my pants pocket that stays attached to the phone at all times. <br />I love your dining room, btw. You have great style!McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-53437804102179024672009-09-18T02:26:07.189+02:002009-09-18T02:26:07.189+02:00How crap.

I have no problem with my Mac sitting next to a faux seventies sideboard which we rescued from hard rubbish and is frankly hideous, because the sideboard is not necessary to my work or daily wellbeing, When we can afford to, we will replace it with something perfect for our house and our needs. I guess that the credit boom on the last few years got us all used to the idea of having debt but perfect, shiny, STUFF. Yeah, less stuff for me, thanks.Cwybrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03496964785825887590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-7912029923563356852009-09-17T23:07:23.331+02:002009-09-17T23:07:23.331+02:00I can't bring myself to care about cars, eithe...I can't bring myself to care about cars, either. I actually think it's cool when people aren't car-obsessed (which is probably a response to growing up in the car state of Texas).<br /><br />I would also put handbags in the car category.
