Lately, I haven't really been driving, but when I did, regularly, it was my silver 1997 Honda Civic, manual transmission. I loved that car and it was 100% mine. I bought it soon before getting married. I sold it right before we moved to Europe, and for good money, considering its old age. I was kinda sad. The buyer was thrilled because he knew what a great car it is.

When we moved to CZ, we bought a dark blue 2013 Honda Fit, manual transmission. Compared to my old Honda, that's like new. We also bought a white 2020 Subaru Crosstrek hybrid automatic transmission, soon before leaving the US. That is FINALLY in CZ from being shipped from the US, but we are waiting for it to go through final red tape. I hope hope hope we get it within a couple weeks, but am unsure. Before leaving the US, we took a long road trip to put many miles on it. Then we left it at Hubby's friend's house to ship later and for him to occasionally drive. Brand new cars are heavily taxed for import to Europe. Six months plus X amount of mileage helped avoid that. Other factors also ultimately made it cheaper to buy in the US. Hybrids (or more so electric) are the cars for the future. Plus, gas is awful expensive in Europe and more polluting. When our newer Honda goes, we either won't replace it, or will buy fully electric. There are benefits to fully electric in CZ, including free parking.

What was the last major purchase of yours that is fully paid off?
