Here’s what stopping smoking is (mostly) buying me.

Cigarettes are now close to $10/pack. One pack a day, 30-31 days/mth, $300-310. Realized how stupid I was keeping up with a habit I no longer really enjoyed, while being sad about not being able to afford the Jeep of my dreams. Problem solved. And unlike smokes, in 3 years, I don't have to pay for the car anymore. 🙂

  There are a few cans of Plastidip in my future. You and I have the same tastes on that front. 🙂

    It works well. I’ve had my wheels done more than a year, and only had to redo one that a tire machine marred up. Only issue I have with the ‘dip is it doesn’t provide as nice a contrast on black as with other colors.

      Indeed on both counts (works and contrast). I did the same on my old Cherokee (which I kept). I’d rather that than the shiny wheels though. 🙂

    Never look back, never regret.
    There’s no maybe(e)s when giving up the smoke.

  Well… Gasoline does end up as smoke too. Until I convert the Jeep to all-electric, in a few years. 😉
