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

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:

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
