You and I are/were in the same boat. I grew up with financially secure parents that always said “None of your business” when I asked questions about family finance. Made some bad choices as a young’n, now having clawed out of it, the dealer we were at recently was thoroughly understanding when I said “The reason I…
I own one, and it is my new favorite winter beater! Everyone needs a lil W8 in their life... here’s the story:
