Day 4: Our Paid-off Cars

Bryann's 2001 Chevy S10 Extended Cab pickup with Canopy

Today we went down to Oregon Community Credit Union in Salem to make the final payment on the truck in person.  We brought the $940 left on the loan in cash, closed the account, did a celebratory blow-up high five, and went to dinner at Mongolian Grill - one of our favorite Salem restaurants.

We bought Bryann the truck last November as an early Christmas present.  His old GMC was starting to go... the breaks sounded like a Velociraptor from Jurassic Park, and the truck wasn't worth the money it would take to fix the breaks.  We are both really happy with it - it's an extended cab so we can store stuff behind the seats, and the canopy acts as Samson's personal space.  It's also 4WD so we can take the truck to the mountain or down to Klamath Falls in the winter.

I bought my 2004 Subaru Impreza TS with cash in 2009, and now we are the proud title-holders of two paid-for cars that are in great condition and suit our needs perfectly.
