well i've had this car loan for like 2months so far. my other car was stolen and i had that car for 11 months exactly and about the 12th month the insurance paid off the rest, then i started this new loan. i'm almost done with credit cards although i have been thinking about getting an american express and just putting it in my drawer at home so i wont have a tendency to pull it out and use it. i dont want to go about doing the 'pay off the car with the credit card routine.' having that credit card i had already stressed me out even thought i only had a limit of $1000.

well i already paid off and canceled that credit card, because the company sucked in all avenues, so as far as using my current credit card, i dont think that's an option.
