    You're paying off your van today, Lancer?

      Last payment is this month. Three years ago to this day we went into a Ford dealership and got a Windstar. Three years at .9%, that's around $650 a month.

      Bye bye.

        Hey Zkribbler

        It's the 'no more payments' dance.

                  My credit is excellent. I've never missed a payment on anything in my life.

                  Umm, yeah. I think...

                  Own my house outright.

                  Anyway, checked my rating and it's around 800, before this van.

                    I used to think humans were good. Then I thought they were neutral... now... well... bring on the nuclear holocaust

                      Humans make mistakes, but we've made a lot of progress too. Why focus on the mistakes?

                        Nothing to be proud of; you are certainly, like me, only tempted to buy when you can afford it!

                          Agree, we have made progress in making mistakes. Now, they are much bigger and frequent.

                            So many messes since then, one after another it seems like. Things got better with the demise of the Soviet Union. I don't think humanity is on the edge of blowing away the whole world anymore.

                            Little pissant extremeist countries with nukes...that's a concern. North Korea or Iran or some poor Russian sells a nuke to a Bin Laden and it's bye bye New York or London or Paris or Berlin or Rome. Imagine if a moslem extremeist group nuked the vatican...

                            Seems to me that this generation has a much more confused situation to deal with, and like any grumpy old fart looking at the following generation, I wonder if they have whatever the hell it takes to prevail. Excellent critics however...

                            For me, I'm 45, my hair is turning silver, my bones ache on cool wet days, and sometimes after a heavy freight night, I'm profoundly weary. I feel that I have lost some of the blind optimism of my youth, and with it my hope for a good outcome.

                                Best thing one can do with these foreign extremeist government types is pop em one if they answer the question wrong. Next time, they get it right. Either way they're going to hate us so...
