Bought a new car (to us 2010 Explorer) for our 36th Anniversary. Worked hard and had $5k to put down and we worked hard on our credit too and got my score enough that we got an auto loan @ 6.5% (not excellant but better than the 28% we paid on our last car at the Buy Here/Pay Here lot). Took it for a nice ride in it with our g'kids last weekend and enjoyed ourselves. Life is good!
Just got the SW alert. Logged in. POW!! EQ 7 point loss! 2 weeks ago I had a 10 point bump in the affirmative and I got no SW alert. I had to buy my report so I could check my score before we got it financed (for my own information). But even worse my FAKO EQ went down 18 points.
You know what.....I don't care. I'm going to make double payments and have this gone in no time. I'm going to enjoy our newest car in 25 years and I don't need FICO, FAKO, or JOEY BUTTAFUCO to judge me. It's all a racket anyway!
And that's all I have to say about that!
Starting Score: 
Thanks Jon.......it's not the destination that matters it's the ride!
Congrats on the new ride!
