Hey! My other car is only 4 years old, I own it, of course.

My wife and I are cheap when it comes to certain things...

We would have a hard time buying a car for $20k cash, but we would spend $20k to spend a few weeks in China traveling around and buying rugs, terra cotta warriors, ect.

We just be funny that way.
