    Increase of 20K plus reduced benefits costs and 20K equity over a three year period. Plus 10% annual bonus

    It's a 15% increase

    You need a sportscar, screw the truck.

    You can pick up a low mileage C6 Corvette or 996 for under 40k. Boxster is alot more fun but it doesn't have the prestige of a 911, even the ugly 911.

    Fuck TW, you earned that kind of fun.

    You hate your truck and now you hate the forum.

    Why are you here again?

    I think 'hookers and cocaine' got the most votes. You have your answer

    I hate to chime in with the rest of the boring sensible people but mods don't add value and resale is shit on used parts. Interest is money lost for no good reason and paying off the vehicle faster means you can trade up a whole lot easier.

    We are driving a car with an MSRP of 54k right now for like 315 a month putting nothing down aside from vehicle equity.

    No I get it. But I am already overpaying by $200 each month. My recent bill said my minimum payment was $0.

    What I cannot understand is why ask questions like this on a forum? Do people not have any creativity or individuality themselves?

    I'm looking to buy a new bike. I didn't go to a bike forum to ask what I should do.

    I bought this truck. I sure as hell didn't ask a bunch of strangers on the internet.

    How can you even ask stuff like This?

    Same here...paying double currently on the Genesis. I've been payment free on our vehicles a couple times before and it's a fantastic feeling....especially when they are nice vehicles. You have real pride of ownership and so much more freedom to get into amother car....no more dealerships asking what your payoff is to undercut your trade or stack on top if you're upside down. THATS when you start spending money on mods. That truck is all yours then.

    I am not in to sports anymore. I like M3's, M2's and M4's, but I would rather have a Tacoma, Ranger Raptor or F150 Raptor. Those are my favorite vehicles at the moment.

    20K is not that much. I do live in the Bay Area.

    Exactly, my response was to put his ass in a sportscar and have fun.

    Should be a bucket list item for some of you.

    I was hoping somebody could recommend something to me that I didn't know about.

    The M2 is no fun... off throttle and the nannies kick in. Older M3 is better performance wise but maintenance is a killer.

    Yeah...the hospitals I support are in the Bay area...I don't know how those folks survive there. Entry 6 figure salaries are barely middle class compared to the same cost of living where I am. Still, 15% is a big accomplishment and you should reward yourself with a reasonable purchase. My vote is ovtune.

    Get a gun so you can wheel the taco to shooting spots! There's nothing like doing a super fun activity that gets you to another super fun activity.

    My vote would be to save some money, then trade up for a Ranger Raptor when it arrives in a few years...assuming it does arrive in a few years :p
