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?

      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!!
