I think that most new car loans are similar - you owe far more than what you could actually sell the car for. That is why they make you buy "gap" insurance - if we total the car, the gap insurance pays for the difference between what you owe on the vehicle and what the ins company will give you for it. It is a vicious cycle. @ my dollar plan: our loan is not entirely out of the ordinary. I think that most new car loans are similar – you owe far more than what you could actually sell the car for.

This keeps it closer to black. :) Good post.
