Same thing here in the Houston area when going from dry to wet. Here it's like Absolutely Red 12 mentions it is in LA (re rain after dry) but it makes much less sense here....It rains more here than it does in LA, so you'd think people would be more adept at driving in it...fat chance.

That's one reason I always buy new vehicles for cash. All the money I save on financing costs and insurance over the life of one vehicle pays for the next new one.

Me too re buying new vehicles and paying cash to have zero finance charge and to avoid the comp and collision requirement that having a car note requires. I also buy relatively inexpensive cars (so I won't moan and groan as much if I have to write a check for a new car re getting in an accident that is my fault.....and I haven't had to since adopting this policy for myself long ago). I know this saves me quite a bit. That would be great if it saved enough to pay for the next car. I've never stopped to calculate how much it is saving me long term.

Yeah, uninformed () people fall into the distraction of being 'sold the payment' and don't look at the total cost. Kind of like tactics that politicians often use.

I once walked out of a car dealership cause they wanted to charge me like 9% interest annually over a 8 year period. Doing the math in my head .. I said to myself "this is nuts" and I walked out. I can still see the look of shock on the ladies face.
I am happy that I paid cash for my Yaris. |
