2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
What I don’t get is how someone gets a manual with the wagon, which is a very intentional choice, and then forgoes the sport package.

Yeah, I don’t get leaving off the sport package either. It’s like baking a cake and not icing it.

But yes, you are correct - in '07, they added a sport steering wheel as part of the deal too. Cosmetic from a performance standpoint, but I sure like the feel of those sport seats and thicker steering wheel.

Thanking G-d that the Golf is behaving and just hit 42K on the odometer. Hoping to keep it another couple of years, and then go from there. Still glad I went for the D V claim as any extra bit I can get back will help!!!
Now, the hospital/doctor bills are coming in and they are just, "OUTRAGEOUS", there are no other words to describe it. I can see why folks can go into bankruptcy after a long extended hospital stay. On paper, we're already over $100K and we're not through. Honestly, I'm not sure how we're gonna pay all these charges that insurance doesn't cover. It's totally outrageous!!!

Sat in the new Honda Insight again today and am liking it even more. Very Civic like in looks and very impressive mpg's, something that I'd really like eventually. Am putting off test driving one as I know I'd want to purchase it and right now that's the worst thing financially I can do! Want to try and get another couple of years out of my Golf, as long as nothing major crops up. That means holding out till some time in 2021 or 2022 before I buy, which would mean keeping the Golf for 7 years, bought in December of 2014 as it's a 2015 vehicle. Doing about 13K miles/year would come out to about 91K at the end of 7 years. Just wondering if that's possible considering the accident and all?
Well, at this point, it's staying in our garage until further notice and gotta feeling we'll be moving out of South Florida before I get myself another vehicle!!! A shame they won't give us anymore hours at Hertz because I could sure use an extra $5K in pay the next year or two!!

Personally, if the whole thing costs me around $4K out of pocket, I think I'd be o k with that. Anything higher is going to cause some major financial issues. Just might mean working an extra year or until I turn 66 in 2020. Was really hoping to pack it in by the end of 2019 as my spinal issues are getting worse each year and what I can do when I'm off is getting limited as the constant pain makes me want to just sit a lot. Don't really want to increase my meds because they do make me very tired at times and there's no real cure for my chronic pain. Have been dealing with it since the on the job injury in April 2005 and the constant pain is taking it's toll on me. Also, the gall bladder surgery has left me very weak and tired...only took 6 weeks off as I needed to get back to work.
This whole situation might just make our moving plans come a little faster then we've planned. Might make sense to sell within the year, the price of our house keeps going up according to Zillow.com and Realtor.com. Also, once our oldest moves to her new house in Orlando in September, we really don't need our 4/2 home here in suburbia. Our area is for families with young kids an cashing out sooner than later could solve a lot of issues. Just might mean pushing things up a year and moving to Central Florida to a cheaper place. I think the time has come to start working on our moving plan!!!

our son is long gone and not coming back. And the daughter is moving to her "big girl" apartment in August. At that point, we really should be able to clean out some crap and get serious about finding a replacement house. Only issue is settling on a place to move to (it won't likely be close to here), and dealing with work issues if we move elsewhere. That is really holding us up at the moment. Well, listing maybe, but not cleaning out the junk and getting ready!
I have been patient, but after we move out whatever the princess is taking, the rest of the junk in the basement needs to be addressed finally. And really dealt with.

Yes, I officially am down to just 2 cars (for 3 people, what kind of insanity is that?) until mid-August most likely when the princess finally moves and can get her DL switched to her new state.
so in theory I could flip the Elantra and get a new car for myself any time. Would still be in the same circumstance of having to share it for 6 weeks with our daughter, so buying and selling while doing that doesn't make much sense. Though most of my schemes don't. Now, if I change direction and sell to her instead (pretty sure it won't happen) then I really need to be looking ASAP!

My last major medical was in 2008 (total knee replacement). I was fortunate enough to have really good insurance, with a "stop loss" provision. $2,500 out of pocket, maximum. There is a long story about how I happened to have insurance that good, but I was very thankful to have it.
I have been on Medicare for the past 18 months, and so far I like it. I haven't had any major medical procedures (yet), so ...
@abacomike talking about the "doughnut hole" made me go do some reading, I was not aware of those issues. Hopefully I won't get into any expensive drugs.
ON EDIT: A friend of mine (work colleague) had a light headed spell of some kind and fainted at work about 2 years ago. He came around almost instantly, swore he was okay, but they insisted on calling an ambulance. He was out of pocket around $2,500 for the ambulance ride and the emergency room visit, and they never found anything wrong with him. He was more than a little _____ about his boss insisting on the ambulance ride, but what are you going to do? She was just CYA, and so it goes...
But now I’m not so sure. I’m starting to think that I will keep working as long as I am able, as long as my mind remains sharp (well, reasonably so – there are those who would question that!) And I’m having second thoughts about moving away if I do retire. I have made some pretty good friends here in this neighborhood.
Right now, life is okay the way it is. Or better than okay, really. So no hurry to make decisions.
And to get back around to cars (or trucks) – I removed the front air dam on my new truck this evening, and stored it away. It is ridiculous to have a truck with only about 4 inches of ground clearance in the front.

My daughter screwed up my plan. I was sure she was staying in NC, so we could have moved down to be close to her.

Been here in this house since July 3rd 1987...it's time to go!! It served us well and we do like it still but time to let a new growing family take it over and have their life in it. Good luck to them as it's been pretty good to us!

A new lease of a 2018 Acura TLX 2.4 with Tech Pkg. Let me tell you, some Acura dealers are indeed dealing on these. Now I have ELS concert sound, which is great, instead of that mediocre Accord EX system. It was the last 2018 TLX 2.4 on on their lot. Lots of luxury touches and quality throughout. The deluxe carpet on the deluxe carpet mats even feels nice. Engine and transmission performance are pleasing so far. Took my wife into the empty school parking lot and we both drove around a little in circles to experience PAWS. Seems like a real thing.
They also threw in two years of free maintenance. Their waiting room in the service area has premium tea, coffee, and other drinks, as well as nice snacks. Getting away from the overcrowded Honda World Service waiting area, where I've spent some time over the past 16 years of owning Accords, is going to be nice.
Way to go @benjaminh! 2 punches in a week? You are keeping the shop open my friend! Congrats!

The Milano leather seats on the TLX are very comfortable as you'd expect—and way beyond my Accord's cloth seats
