What do you drive?



Recommended Posts

I like having 4 seats although nobody can fit comfortably in the back and also it gives more room if ever somebody hits you in the rear. There is nothing better than driving a convertible as I just feel so in touch with nature. Thank GOD I am married because it also attracts tons of attention and comments from the men!!!:)

Me...a red-hot 2004 Jaguar with a 24 valve v6 turbo. Of Course...it's cleverly disquised as a Ford Taurus Custom....but I know the frame and drive train are the same! So it's my undercover cheap luxury sedan. I actually bought it because I could fit three carseats in it if I need to! My custom leather interior is currently covered in cheerios and matchbox cars -and that's just the way I like it :)

My other SWEET ride was the car I bought for my wife last year: 2004 Midnight Blue Grand Caravan. I fought the van plan for years...but my kids can't buckle yet without me crawling in...so the SUV wasn't much fun yet! Anyways, this one has auto start and a flip down DVD for the kids so they can be zombies during long rides. What more do you need in life?

...My wife wants that cooper!

My baby is a 2003 Land Rover Freelander HSE (no pic). Even though it is 3 years old, it is the funnest SUV I've ever driven. And I get a lot of compliments on it too.

Wow, all these people saying they feel poor. Subaru Outbacks and Honda Accords are VERY nice cars here in Australia, and quite expensive ones at that. A far fewer proportion of people drive new cars as they're so pricey, we can only afford to keep our cars updated every 4 years because they're salary packaged and it saves us heaps of tax. No way on earth could we afford two new cars out of our after tax dollers and Doug earns in the top 5%, a nice big fat six figure salary.

Teresita,

My Mini cooper is 1.6 liter over head cam, 16-valve inline 4-cyl. engine (115 hp)

The Mini Cooper S comes with a Supercharged, intercooled 1.6 liter overhead cam, 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine (163 hp)

When I ordered my Mini you could only get Automatic Transmission on the Mini Cooper. I don't do manual transmission.

Maryb a 4 cylinder wouldn't get me very far. I test drove a 4 cylinder highlander and it was sad.

Yoda awwwww they are both cute....he he he

The Mini Cooper S is a race car in Europe!

I have never had any problem getting on the Highway in my Mini. Floor it and that baby goes! I can keep up with the traffic in Houston with no problem. Of course that is on good paved roads. She doesn't like speed bumps. Those Mole Hills are Mountains to her!

"Your never settle on a Mini! You buy it by choice or not at all!"

I drive a typical "mom on the go" van, desert sand colored 2005 Ford Freestar with a dvd system like some others so my kids can be veggies on our trips to disney! lol

Trading it in for something else in 3 or 4 months - it's been recalled 5 or 6 times since it came out :confused:

Hubby drives a 4 dr Ford Ranger, oldest son drives a Ford Ranger, oldest daughter drives a 4d Nissan Altima.

If we have company, they have to park across the street because our driveway is too full :eek:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
