OHHHh Penni I am jealous! I love your car and looked at one 10 years ago - the model has changed some, but they are soooo nice. I went with a gold Sebring sports package then, but wished I hadn't.

Hmmm wonder if I can talk the hubby into one of those instead of an suv or van for our next vehicle hehehe <going to drool at Chrysler now>

I just bought a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara in burgandy today. Had planned to go with a moderate one, but decided to go all the way, leather, sunroof, running boards & heated seats. It is beautiful & the XM radio is fantastic. I feel like a princess!

The Pimp Mobile!!!!!That is what I call her.... LOL 1994 Buick Lasabre.

I used to be the new car every two or three years girl. Hubby and I gave up or 24/7 corporate america jobs and moved to the beach in Florida. This car is like driving a boat! It was the "teenagers" car when we lived in Connecticut. She only has 78,000 miles on her, tons of dents and scratches...

TOP 10 REASONS TO OWN A PIMPMOBILE:

1. you can park her anywhere with no worries

2. you don't have to worry about someone parked next to you denting the door

3. no one would even THINK about stealing her

4. the paint job is already scratched from the teenagers

5. I never have to lock the doors

6. low insurance rates

7. no car payments

8. cart the grandkids around and not worry about the upolstry

9. very reliable

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON TO KEEP DRIVING THE PIMPMOBILE..........

10. I LOVE HER

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

NJchick, we drive the same van, mine is patriotic blue (i think). I love it, though wish I could afford to get hubby a sportier car that I could borrow from time to time. He really wanted a cooper before but has started looking at hybrids because of the gas prices. I have about another 8 months to pay off the town and country and then we will buy his car.

My DH is getting very close to ordering his new sports car. He has been looking at all 2 seater and some 4 seater sports cars on the market. The first car we looked at was the BMW Z4. I told the salesman. "If it were me, I would look no further and buy that baby." Yes, I am the impulse buyer in the family. After many cars and many dealerships and much internet surfing, my husband wanted us to go back to the 1st BMW delearship to look at the BMW Z4 again. So yesterday we went to look again at the BMW Z4. He just about turned that car inside out looking it over. When we left, I asked him if he decided yet. He said "Yes the BMW Z4." I said "Why". He said "It has the biggest trunk." I said "Are you ready to buy it?" He said "No, I have to study over the option brocheur and ask the salesman more questions first."

Can anyone guess what my husband does for a living?

      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!
