That's a beauty I bet the others are fun too...especially the 490 whp one

For myself, I only have a 1992 GMC Vandura 2500 van in addition to my 930. Unlike my 930, the van has cost me very little in maintenance: an oil change a year for the past 15 years and one set of tires and a set of brake pads - maybe 2, can't remember for sure. Once I had it serviced and they changed some belts - the cost was almost $400 and at the time I thought that was much. It's only got a little over 100,000 miles on it.

Laurie and Jerry,

I just received the paperwork on the hearing to confirm the divorce.
The rule/hearing has been set for Monday, October 29, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
The notice that I received did not have the time, so I contacted the Clerk
of Court and confirmed that the hearing is at 10:00 a.m. I have handwritten
the time on the notice that I will mail to you.

Jerry, I am also sending you a certified copy of the Rule. Once you
have received it, I will be filing the waiver of service.

If either of you has any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Thanks,

Cassie

the nerve of some women, thinking they deserve half

Here's my '05 Elise. It's pretty much the opposite of a money pit- it has low maintenance and running costs.



This car on the other hand, is a true money pit. It's a '67 Healey 3000 Mk III with 51K original miles. It was one of the last 500 or so 3000's painted in Metallic Golden Beige. It was a two owner car when I bought it, and the last owner painted it in this livery. Here's a shot of the car from my vast collection of flatbed shots:

I'm with you, Rocket. Too poor to even have a moneypit.
