Thanks to all for the great words of advice. This is probably the best and the most sound.
I've checked into igo cars and there's not one in my little surburb, so I'm going to go ahead with a purchase. I've always wanted a Jeep Wrangler, and I've found a used one of CL that looks like a fair deal. I'm going to look at it tonight. I also got approved for a car loan (they want to offer me a whopping 39 grand. I'm taking 6). Payments will be about 140.00 a month, which is doable in my situation.
If I get this Jeep, the first thing I'll add is a bike rack! Then I'll get out all my camping gear that I haven't used in years.
Best,
Jigs
