I had a ton of equity in my house when I bought the cobra, so rather than tie up a bunch of cash in the car, I pulled a 2nd @ 5.5% for it. Also pulled some to completely reform the kitchen and some other parts of the house. Because it was a home loan the interest was fully deductible. Didn't make sense to do it any other way. Sold the house last year and paid off the loan. Still had a ton of equity to take away. It's only money and you can't take it with you!
