I drive a Silver Toyota 4 Runner (2004) bought it brand new off the show room floor for $100 dollars over manufacturer's price. (Quite the haggler). Made them throw in some rubber floor mats that cost $150.00 :eekB:

Hubby drives 2001 Range Rover - Money Green and a 1998 Black Honda Civic (more gas mileage).

We are not rich. I repeat, we are not rich. We just have great credit and some money put away but not rich.

Kat... Mine is just an ES but it has everything except for a sunroof (bummer) but I love it and it drives amazing and I have had zero problems with it. My mothers best friend has a red R/T that is awesome too. She likes it but wants a cadillac. haha. I really enjoy my car and love that it's still perfect and I don't have car payments.

Wow... I feel poor next to all these nice cars! We have a Jeep Cherokee and Subaru Outback. Our next car will probably be a minivan since we are planning on adopting a couple of kids before the year is out.

Toyota Highlander is what I found to fit me comfortably. I thought I was going to have to get a minivan. Hopefully one day I will fit into a minicooper, they are so cute.:)

I just got a new car here in Portugal in June its a 2005 Opel Corsa (opel is a division of GM) It's not a big car because here in Portugal as u know the streets are small and space is limited, but it gets me where I need to go and its a pretty color. I hated the idea of a hatchback, but here in portugal thats what most people drive because gas is so expensive and space is so limited. I got use to the idea after I started driving and had to find parking spaces! I got to pick it out bran new with all the options and they had it made especially for me. I got an MP3 player and all the goodies inside. Only draw back is its stick. Here in portugal no one drives any thing but a stick. Automatics are for people with disabilities. However on the plus side that makes me a chick that can drive stick!

Teresita,

Have you ever sat in a Mini Cooper? I bet you would fit just fine. I have had my Baby Mini almost 2 years now. A friend of a friend weighs way more then you do and is tall. I lowered my seat down and back all the way and told him to get in and close the door. He looked at me funny, then got in and closed the door. He said he never would have believed how much room there is inside. It is a small car that feels big on the inside!

I keep my backseats down all the time and bought special mats to go over carpeted backs to give me a large cargo area. I have been able to get almost anything back there.

Here is a picture of my dad & brother checking out the cargo area.

We are a family of 4 with a dog and lots of home projects...so of course we have a minivan! LOL We have a dark green 2001 Ford Windstar. Its great in size and makes things easy for us, but honestly I hate driving a minivan. I am thinking of getting a fully loaded large Taurus. They never wear out, and they get pretty good gas mileage. And the trunk space is HUGE.

DH is looking for a 1980's BMW to restore and fix up. If he does get one and the project goes ok then he is going to get me a Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I LOVE them. They are the ultimate beach SUV with the wood panelling. That would be my baby if I could get it.

Maryb what size engine does your mini have?

Amy I like mini vans, I had one and I was able to put the neighbor hood kids in it along with my child's bike and go. It was great. My other car I just sold was a Ford Taurus. I loved that car.

I drive a black '02 Chevy Tahoe, fully loaded (my dream truck)

and hubby drives a '04 Dodge truck, 4WD, Diesel... all that junk. Most expensive thing we have! I think that dumb truck in the long run will cost us more than our house! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
