Paid off!!!! Its officially mine, all mine!!!! - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

shadowmaker · 06-25-2014, 01:12 PM

5 yrs ago, I bought the Mach thinking I would get bored, trade it in, and never pay it off. But that wasnt the case, she is MINE, ALL MINE. WOOO HOOOO!!!!

The bad news the wife says if I get a Boss or GT500, the Mach has to go.

At this point, I think I would cry if I saw someone drive away in it, never to return.

BUT I know if I whine enough, drool enough, and suck up enough, the Mach will have a partner in the future.

Then again, not having a car payment, might be something I will enjoy.

...the mach has long been paid off but Ive got a ways to go on this F150

Congrats! It was a surreal feeling when I paid mine off. It took a while to sink in.

TKat13 · 06-25-2014, 02:21 PM

Congrats, best feeling ever! Paid mine off 5 years ago, love not having a car payment so much that the Mach may stay forever.

That is truly a great feeling and way to go
enjoy and good luck with the other one in the future

Congrats. Feels great do'nt it........So why do you want a NEW car payment.
Relax, keep the Mach, its yours, enjoy it.
I paid mine off about this time last year. HAPPY DAYS.

about this time next year, your vacation to Belize is already paid for.
or maybe a week to be a beach bum in Cancun.

on the down-side, i'm twice as paranoid about someone else crashing into the Mach after getting it paid for.

I have had 8 mustangs and everyone I sold I wanted back later so I've told my wife that I will never sell another one even when I get another one. I'll just build another bay on my garage.

WE still have a car payment but the Mach was mine. Ive had a payment for over 20 yrs, it feels strange thats for sure.

500 hp and supercharger has my 'wants' on over drive at the moment. Of course, I dont use the 300 hp I have now so I dont know why I need it.

Yea Ive thought about that as well. The extra money each month sure will be nice.

I have an empty bay in my garage now. A garage she never goes in. I wonder how long I could hide it before she finds it.

Congrats. I've got mine down around 5k. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep working on her....when I paid mine off a few years ago, my wife thought I only " needed" one car for weekend driving. After a year, I now have added a GT500 and a Fox. I am next adding a Gen 1 Mustang......you never have enough.
