I love my Mini Cooper! Ditched the MomMobile and bought me a fun car!

Cute car, Mary.

I haven't taken photos of our cars, but I did find a few online. We have a 2005 Honda Element and a 2006 BMW 325i. They are exactly the same colors as those shown below.

My Element looks just like that ... only black. Good Taste!!
I absolutely LOVE my Element. So many people think it's ugly but I couldn't care less. They're not driving it, right? :eekB:

A Ford Territory, so a small 4WD, SUV, whatever you call it. Sure you have them in the US but they might be called something different. And a Toyota Camry, again it might be called something different but basically just a generic 4 door 6 cylinder family sedan. We're all too tall in this family to have small cars (even the kids).

I used to have Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo but got rid of it. It was a lovely car but a pain in the bum. Heavy, clunky, and what a gas guzzler. And it cost a BOMB to service and repair too, its much cheaper to own a Japanese built car in Australia.

See, a Ford Expedition is a Ford Explorer in Australia. Why do they do that?

I remember being in Auckland and seeing Mitsubishis - the Sigma was a Magna here and the Magna was a Sigma here. Go figure.

OMG I love your MINICOOPER!!!!!!!!!!! That's what I want when I have an empty nest!!!!!!!!!!!! I want the red with the white bonnet stripes and the checker flag mirrors.

But right now I have 2005 Chevy Tahoe that is our family car because everything else is a TWO SEATER.

But our mainest new ride is our new SSR (SuperSportRoadster) in Redline Red. Went cruisin today with the top down. It has a corvette engine and can haul A$$. Looking forward to the empty nest so we can do some FUN RUNS.

In May the Texas Motor Speedway is doing a Laps For Charity event where you can pay 25 dollars and do three laps around the track. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find any pics of our vehicles....I guess b/c they can't compete with the kids or animals. :eekB: I drive the 2004 Chevy Venture Van, silver. My DH drives the 2001 Chevy Impala, white. Nothing to get excited about I know....at this point, I'm just thankful for a power sliding door and money for gas. :)

I love all your sporty cars. I'm a little partial to Honda's (I've 3 myself over the years) b/c I have 2 brothers that have made their living working for Honda of America.

Myra ~ Texas Motor Speedway.....now your making me jealous!! I would LOVE to burn some rubber on that track. :o

Next spring when they have the opening race we are trying to get a group of SSR Fanatics to be the pace/opener cars. Everybody is already claiming which driver they want to carry. Should be fun. M

I am like a few others, nothing fancy, but have come to the conclusion we have waaaay too many vehicles for just DH and I!!! I drive a 2004 Dodge Intrepid, he drives a 2002 Ford Explorer, and we have a 2001 F250 Diesel P/U we use for hauling things, and such. Now add to that a 1998 Honda Goldwing 1500, 2 Classic 1981 Yamahas, a Midnight Maxima, and an 1100 Special, and his current "basketcase" he is working on is a 1998 HD Softail, with a Springer front end...no wonder we are poor, and the insurance company sends me Christmas cards!!!

Bittersweet timing here. Until Tuesday I drove a Volvo S-60, lust like this one:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
