Even better feeling? Being able to go in, and pay cash for the next one. Keep paying your "payment" to a savings account. Maybe even up it a bit. In a few years, you can go in, pick out whatever you want, when your current ride is getting a little long in the tooth.

Congrats on the early payoff!! Been there myself & I know the feeling... I agree with Shortline on plunking the extra cash away so maybe, just maybe cash payment the next time & save yourself a whole bunch on interest!!
