I ended up driving it for a little over a year and traded it in because I couldn't stand to drive it anymore. I traded it and although the dealer was good to me, I still took it in the end. As I think back to my younger days, one of my biggest regrets is buying that new truck and not waiting longer. I could have paid off my loans a lot sooner and not taken such a hit on the truck. There will be lots of Vettes and Camaros around if you wait a little longer. If you do decide to buy, either one would be great. I would compare the cost of insurance on both, space in both, comfort of both, etc.

The job will be a big decider. As I've said, my saving habits will be religious whether I make $1B next year or $1. I have plenty of driving to do in this Subaru before it dies. I don't have a lot of worries with loans or any of that because I've worked through school.
