Anytime I pay something off, I usually don't go more than 2 months before I end up buying something else.
I bought my HHR in Sept of 2009. I'll be paying it off in either January or February with about 40,000 miles on it. I am going to try my best not to buy something else to soon after, but I don't have to much confidence in that. Even if I do buy something else, I do know I will still hold onto the HHR as my daily driver though. LOL!!
