so i paid off my roommate and mother today. and now am planning my final demise of the stock tranny in my truck!(i figure i have babied it for a year, might as well destroy it) so now all these decisions. i know a smarty is coming. but after that i have no idea. injectors and turbo? want about 400hp!
so gimme some ideas! i have till december then its time to move again so money will be hard untill february!

 

Out of debt? Rub it in why dont ya

 

its only money, you cant take it with you, and if you leave it to your kids, they're just going to blow it themselves. thats why I am spending it all myself.

 

well i still have the actuall truck payment. but everything else is taken care of. even the 50k life inshurance policy!

 

yeah! why do you have to gloat about it to us?!?

lol, i owed the bank 32,000 (yes thirty two thousand) dollars to the bank when i was 15. (yes, 1-5 lol!)

now a year later its only about 20 grand. not bad i think....

 

well lets just say its been a long road that im happy to be at the next fork to make a decision. i guess ill just act butt-hurt about it then.

 

Why intentionally destroy the tranny?

The better the shape it's in when you take the truck in, the cheaper it will be to get a performance trans.

Thrash the truck only AFTER you've done the due diligence of tranny reinforcement.


Debt free is nice. Until lately, all I owed on was mortgage and truck. Then we bought a minivan (planning for the future when we have more than one kiddo). House is for sale, so hopefully, we'll just have one vehicle and THAT'S IT for debt after the house sells (pay off truck when house sells).


Then again, it may make more sense not to pay off the truck and instead take the 10K or so and pay down the new van, since the remaining debt on the truck is mostly principle (dern the amortization!), and paying down the new debt would save a lot more $$ in interest....

Or just divide everything be zero and be done with it

What's the fun in letting a tranny live a normal life?? At least not for me. It's gonna cost the same with a junk one as a "used" one, so I might as well have some fun getting there

But that's just me...my diesel dummy buddies keep telling me I have no regard for my trucks. They're just jealous that I'm luckier than they were in the headgasket department
