When did this turn into a financial forum?
Ya know part of this, but since you asked :sombrero::
1) Have two kids, build XJ, travel, wheel, get kids out of diapers;
2) Have two (more) kids, sell XJ, buy large house, acquire minivan;
3) Buy 80 series Cruiser to replace XJ;
4) Modify 80 series Cruiser with money already eaten up by the house and kids identified in #1 and 2;
5) Upgrade minivan for dual DVD players and other family comforts;
6) Have basement destroyed by municipal water company system failure in the form of a raw sewage backflow;
7) Have said municipal water company promise to pay all damages, send out claim adjuster who works with us for 2 months, refuses to pay after work completed;
8) File lawsuit, spend 18 months to recover $.50 on the dollar on $80K of financial damage;
9) Get Burnese Mountain Dog;
10) Realize 80 is too small for BMD, kids, and all required gear for big trips;
11) Need cargo trailer for full range of camping and offroad use in order to keep the 80 and really get into the back country;
12) Find really nice M101 CDN local already modified at a great price;
13) Set up appointment to see M101;
14) Get stomach flu 2 hours later. 5 kids get stomach flu all at the same time in the middle of the night 2 days later;
15) M101 gets sold before I can see it;
16) Figure fate is saying "just get the AT you want anyway, you have no time for a project";
17) Need financing (see #1 to #8 above), get good terms from Credit Union;
18) Ask question on ExPo about depreciation in quest to obtain 100% financing because Cash is King (Cashflow is Queen, and she is already dead).
Or something like that. :coffeedrink:
