I drive a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire, burgundy with tan cloth interior...but the best part is my AM/FM radio with no knobs. Yeah Baby! :clap2: Seriously, I love my car, it's very comfy and has been so reliable. Just normal maintenance and wear, nothing outrageous...but I haven't priced replacement radio knobs yet so who knows. :)

AS you can see from my screen name, I do a lot of river trips. This bad boy carries two very large canoes and all the gear I need for a long weekend.

It's also a great shuttle vehicle. At the beginning of a river trip, after we unload all of our stuff at the 'put-in', or where we begin, everyone drives their car to the 'take-out', where we are going to end up after 3 days of paddling down the river. Everyone leaves their car at the take out, and we all pile into one 'shuttle' vehicle, for the ride back up to where we left all our stuff - hence the need for the quad cab!

And yeah, Baby - it's got a Hemi!

I have a blue 2004 Jeep Liberty. The same exact blue one they show in the Jeep commercials. My husband drives a 2000 Chevy conversion van. We purchased both brand new. My husband would like to get a Chrysler 300 next. I told him it will be a long time away. I do not plan on us getting another car payment for at least 5 years.

Haven't yet put any of the pic's of My Bug on my site yet, but yes .. this is what I drive during the daygeeksquad.gifAt night you can find me in a 2004 Saturn ION {and no, that is not a 10-N. Actually had some lady ask me that while at the dealership getting mine serviced. I was kind enough to correct her, and yes (truthfully and reluctantly I tell you SHE WAS BLONDE! - no, not bashing blondes, some of the smartest women I have known are blondes, and some of the dumbest <take my ex ......PLEASE, take my ex ... far away and strand her some where remote :clap2: :) >

My husband sold his Navigator to my Dad this weekend. He still has not ordered his Z4! He is driving my Daughter's Corolla until he gets his new car. When? Who knows?

I drive a black 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. Gas kills me but I needed something I could get my ex's wheelchair in and out of. Other than the fuel costs I love it.

My DH recently traded his Impala for a 2006 Dodge Stratus. It gets better gas mileage and you can use the E85 gas. Yes, it's cheaper but the mileage really goes down when you use the E85. I'm not convinced it worth at this point.

This is what my DH uses to mow the grass......:(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
