Only new car I've bought was the DeLorean. It's nice-looking enough, but I really need something with more cargo room and that does better in the snow and mountain roads. But, it came free with the "Back to the Future" set, so at least the price was right.

Haven't done any vacations either in ages, but I do have a bunch of house _repairs_ I should do. Does that count?

Who had that siggy line for the longest time, something like, "you remind me of fast food, I want to pick you up and eat you in my car?"

Was it mav_tech? Something like that?

I should hush on the vacation thing, The Air Force has lots of vacation places to send me. Most of them have lots of sand. Wink

My ears are burning.

And FYI I'm a broke mother *&^%$%. Seriously. No vacations, no remodeling, no new house, no new job. If you saw my W-2s you'd laugh. Or cry.

Hey! I've been to those sandy places! Those timeshares really suck! Always overbooked and you have to share a bungalow with at least 40 other people...

My car is 12 years old and DH's car is 10 years old. We didn't take a vacation last year, although that was mainly due to Squeak being sick. We purchased our house knowing it needed a new kitchen, updates/repairs to the bathrooms, new doors and windows. We haven't done the kitchen yet because we had a lot of unexpected expenses come up last year and we didn't want to stress out our elderly/sick cat. We're living on one salary at the moment although I may have to go back to work at some point if I can find someone willing to hire someone my age with lots of work experience but no degree and if the job makes up for the loss of my free insurance through DH's company, which I will lose if I work.

We do have a trip to Paris planned for this year with a side trip to see family. Don't know if the kitchen will get done this year or if I'll have to put up with it slowly falling apart for a while longer. We're not rich but we do try to enjoy ourselves. Not having kids means we have more money to spend on ourselves. Plus we're pretty frugal other than taking vacations as we rarely eat out and don't have a lot of toys and we put off buying things that are needed/wanted until we can get a slick deal. Does that cover all your questions CC? laugh out loud
