I finally own my car, even after being unemployed for over a year!

Well I did had a couple contracts here and there. I dont know how I did it, but I did! 48 months, I was late a few 4-5 times, but my credit union was cool with me. Man what a big load off my chest, can't really celebrate, she is a 1995 GLE with 164k miles, and I am gonna spend under $1k to fix her up.

Two new axles $300 (www.raxles.com) (needs to be replaced and for my peace of mind I did both)
Four Cross Drilled/Slotted Brembo Rotors with four PBR Metal Pads and SS Lines $390 (www.raceconcepts.net)
Driverside wheel bearing $35
Serpentine Belts? $30
ABS Sensor: got to find out if front or rear ($300 for fronts and about $200 rears, I hope its the rear, cus its cheaper

Knowing that your old oreo colored sedan can still stomp some newer cars @$$, priceless!!!

I found thru the org searching for brakes, and found www.raceconcepts.net was doing group deals, talk to Wood. He will get you that combo for the car and I think he might have makes for other vehicles too.

I definitely ain't ballin, too many young girls, and I don't want to be R'Kellying, if ya know what I mean. I don't play that dangerous route, I got alot of college campuses, Brown University and RISD got hot import and domestic girls attending them. I dont be driving by my middleschool acting kewl like some clowns I see.

Yeah I cant wait either. I took out a 3 year loan and if things go well I will be paying them off in under 1.5 years. I am hopeing maybe by christmas or new years that it will be all set. It will be nice to have it owned outright since I want to keep it for a few more years.

Deezo, she has been physically fit for a while now. There should be a sig pic if not you can click here to see her. [Warning: pic in link is huge] If someone can photchopp a bodykit on that pic for me, appreciated!

Thanks for all the comments, I am sure you will feel elated too once your payment is finished, and dont be afraid to ask your bank for help like to get half coverage insurance instead of full once your payment gets to a certain amount.
