Back to the Dealership for Another Car

Ok, so I wrote my last post with the idea that I was going to talk about how I have only had a few cars in the ten years my spouse and I have been together and I ended up blathering on and on.  My issue is WHY in the WORLD does my spouse need to BUY a new car every other year.  I counted…

Me:  Nellie, truck, Saturn, Lil  4 cars, 2 beaters, 1 used, 1 new.

Him:  New Toyota Tercel, New Nissan Altima, New Honda Accord, Used (Barely) Ford Explorer, New Ford Mustang, and then finally, a used, but completely pimped out, heated seats and the works Ford Explorer.  So that is:  4 New Cars, and 2 Barely used.  6 Cars in 10 years is one car every 1.6 years….and he wonders why he is upside down on his current car loan.

I know why.  Because when you BUY a NEW car every 1.6 years, all that you ever pay for is interest!

What is it in some people that they NEED to have a new car so often?  Why?  Please, somebody help me because I can’t stand to spend my time in the car dealerships.  Be happy with what you have, isn’t that what is really cool?
