Cute car, Mary.

I haven't taken photos of our cars, but I did find a few online. We have a 2005 Honda Element and a 2006 BMW 325i. They are exactly the same colors as those shown below.

My Element looks just like that ... only black. Good Taste!!
I absolutely LOVE my Element. So many people think it's ugly but I couldn't care less. They're not driving it, right? :eekB:

A Ford Territory, so a small 4WD, SUV, whatever you call it. Sure you have them in the US but they might be called something different. And a Toyota Camry, again it might be called something different but basically just a generic 4 door 6 cylinder family sedan. We're all too tall in this family to have small cars (even the kids).

I used to have Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo but got rid of it. It was a lovely car but a pain in the bum. Heavy, clunky, and what a gas guzzler. And it cost a BOMB to service and repair too, its much cheaper to own a Japanese built car in Australia.

See, a Ford Expedition is a Ford Explorer in Australia. Why do they do that?

I remember being in Auckland and seeing Mitsubishis - the Sigma was a Magna here and the Magna was a Sigma here. Go figure.

OMG I love your MINICOOPER!!!!!!!!!!! That's what I want when I have an empty nest!!!!!!!!!!!! I want the red with the white bonnet stripes and the checker flag mirrors.

But right now I have 2005 Chevy Tahoe that is our family car because everything else is a TWO SEATER.

But our mainest new ride is our new SSR (SuperSportRoadster) in Redline Red. Went cruisin today with the top down. It has a corvette engine and can haul A$$. Looking forward to the empty nest so we can do some FUN RUNS.

In May the Texas Motor Speedway is doing a Laps For Charity event where you can pay 25 dollars and do three laps around the track. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find any pics of our vehicles....I guess b/c they can't compete with the kids or animals. :eekB: I drive the 2004 Chevy Venture Van, silver. My DH drives the 2001 Chevy Impala, white. Nothing to get excited about I know....at this point, I'm just thankful for a power sliding door and money for gas. :)

I love all your sporty cars. I'm a little partial to Honda's (I've 3 myself over the years) b/c I have 2 brothers that have made their living working for Honda of America.

Myra ~ Texas Motor Speedway.....now your making me jealous!! I would LOVE to burn some rubber on that track. :o

I am like a few others, nothing fancy, but have come to the conclusion we have waaaay too many vehicles for just DH and I!!! I drive a 2004 Dodge Intrepid, he drives a 2002 Ford Explorer, and we have a 2001 F250 Diesel P/U we use for hauling things, and such. Now add to that a 1998 Honda Goldwing 1500, 2 Classic 1981 Yamahas, a Midnight Maxima, and an 1100 Special, and his current "basketcase" he is working on is a 1998 HD Softail, with a Springer front end...no wonder we are poor, and the insurance company sends me Christmas cards!!!

      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.
