It's gone, hurray!


Like 29 cars and 17 motorcycles, the BMW is gone! Sorry I probably won't miss it, either. By far I've spent more on vehicles, 2-3 times as much as housing. Maybe only spent more on food. Bought it for $7500, put another $1900 including TTL and got $8000 for it. Not one of my better moves. Put 4,000 miles on it. Linda never liked it. It was top heavy, bulky and 835#'s empty. Really bad at slow speeds. Not reliable. Too many gadgets and parts to break.

I'm sticking with Japanese vehicles. The Honda Accord after 17 months still has no problems. My old 91 Suzuki 1100 is coming back out of retirement. Only needs a front tire and fix a couple of small leaks. It has current plates but I will have to re-insure it, costing $1 to transfer from the BMW.

Down to only 4 bikes. Poor me. But I've got $8000 to play with! Got any ideas? No more cars and luxury vehicles. KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

You want ideas? I got ideas!

New washer/dryer, or living room chairs?

Shall I continue? I didn't think so. *giggle*
