I thought of that but didn't reply... Not sure what's left. How about I say the glass is half empty and take Memorial Day?

I'll take the 'glass is half full' outlook and say Labor Day
 
What exactly are we picking a day for.
 
Is it when Jolie complains about the towing capacity of the Durango and flips it, or when she sells the Sebring and buys another beater.
 
We know she's going to do one or the other very soon. This is getting too easy.

For some strange reason, Dodge never appealed to me. Only domestic truck that I like are GMCs.

First off, I certainly DID NOT buy the Durango to pull, it doesn't even have a tow package (which I was very happy about). Second off, if I want to tow anything, we have 2 diesel trucks to do that job. I HATE towing anything, usually if something needs to be towed hubby is with me and doing the driving.
 
As for the Sebring, nah, I think I'll probably keep it, have had it for sale for nearly a month and no takers. Only people wanting to make payments on it, I tried that, no thanks, it didn't work. Its not a bad car, needs a few things, but overall is in good mechanical condition and I can get my sunroof fix with it.

Our payment went down a LOT, interest rate went down, term went down, and insurance went down.
 
Fuel economy also went down.

Fuel economy didn't go down, its about the same as the Ram was only gas is 32 cents/gallon cheaper than Diesel. Its the small 4.7L V8, not the 5.9L V8 which is a gas hog.

I own a 5.9L V8 and I agree they are gas hogs.

We had one years ago in a dodge ram, big time gas hog. If this Durango had the 5.9L V8 I would have passed, but it has the 4.7L V8. According to the fuel economy computer it has it gets approx 18 mpg at 65 mph, similar to the diesel that I traded in.

I'm thinking Memorial Day, she gets all nostalgic for Zippy, goes out and trades the Sebring for a nice little used Focus with, oh, 50K or so on the clock, and even then the COMBINED payments of the Focus and the Durango will be less than the ONE payment was on the Ram!
 

 
Me, just tonight I saw the exact truck I couldn't find anywhere on the lots two months ago - a stick shift 4-cylinder Tacoma PreRunner. Now my local dealer has not one but two, red and white. Both SR5s, sticker is $21K, I bet he would sell for $19K. Maybe a lease, trade in my Echo? Oh what a dilemma, I SWORE I would keep this car until the payments were done.
