Or you could invest the money, and make more than 2%...

Now, if the loan on the WRX is high interest...8-22%, PAY IT OFF! You are losing money big time!!!

Anything between 3 and 8 is a grey area; you have to make the call.

As far as new toys, I am married, with young kids. I don't remember what it was like to just buy something very expensive for myself
I'm going to look you up when the time comes to finance my new car.
