Or to pay much more than $10,000, which is what is in my head as the optimal price of a car.
Hmm, I hear you in terms of thinking that *should* be the case, but seriously, if you're gonna get a car, get one that won't be giving you the same kind of angst you're getting now, and that will probably be at least $12-15K. I think after all was said and done, we paid about $17K for our car, which was more that we wanted to pay ($15K was our max and all we were looking at were compact cars, both new and used) but my gut feeling is that it's worth it to spend that kind of money on a Honda, Nissan, Toyota type of thing. Lord knows I'd never be able to step up to the next level (or want to) but I feel we got good value.

I cashed out some stock options last year, and I'm expecting a decent bonus this year, so I was thinking of combining those to make a car. But I suppose I could throw all that at them and then pay the rest in installments? I disapprove of paying interest.
I found my other sister.
I'm confused.

Right, but the question is, can you get good enough interest that it's worth holding onto your money for a while and letting it earn for you, rather than spending it all at once?
Aimee that's exciting.
I discovered why my keyboard was typing funny -- my coworker took it apart to clean it and evidentally stuff shifted. So if you press the backspace it types B and if you press B the backspace works. At least things aren't randomly freaking out.

I've got an ING account, but the interest rate's been falling along with everything else. Shit, it's down to 3.348% now.
