Are you as cheap as I am??

I purchased my car in 2009, my income was much lower then, I make 2.4 times more now. I had to be very thrifty in the beginning, but I always looked for online coupons, cash back, veterans discounts ETC. I learned that it does not pay off too well to buy cheap mechanical parts. There are ways to save money by buying used. I scored a really nice deal on a bumper jack that was in really ratty shape. I stripped that sucker bare with a wire wheel repainted it and it looks like a show piece. Use some common sense when it comes to being a cheap bastard, or you will regret it when you need to call a tow truck.
