If I had a buttload of money I couldn't sit down!

It is strange when you start comparing other things to "Wow, that will buy a new dash from Paul" or "that is almost what the carputer is going to be"

I am glad i am past the point of needing parts to make it run, now it is wanting parts to make it what i want it to be.

...you're a bank, a big Italian bank! You'll crap fifties and fart hundreds!

Greg, I was only kidding. My shark has always run very well during my ownership. The PO took very good care of her. She's only needed a few things to make her as she was when new. She looks just like she does in my avatar.

Money? Money? kind of rings a bell, heard of it before, but never really have seen what it looks like;-) Quite frankly, I don't make beans, but learning to cut out a few of the un- needed items in life help things go a lot farther. Do we really need a phone that cost a gizzilion bucks each month just so we can be cool, or cable t.v. with more channels than we could ever watch ect. ect. Shure the folks next door have it but, why do we keep trying to live like them. If we could learn to live more simply then we can have the things in life that we really enjoy- with out being in debt up to or eyeballs. I have a single income that has been deemed to be in the poverty level(no kidding) but I own my own home, have a 928, and also a daily driver-and play golf everyday. Still don't have anything on my credit card, except for an occasionl purchase that gets paid in full at the end of the month, and have around 6 months of income in the bank. So I really don't feel to sorry for you if you don't have a "butload of money" set your prioritys in life and then stick to them.I will now get off my soap box.

Wasn't trying to offend you guys.

I've been very lucky with this 928 so far. Biggest expense has been fuel.

If I had a buttload of money, I'd take ex-lax. Then I'd order some parts... after laundering the cash.

I keep telling myself that it's not how much we have, it's what we have left. The patio furniture jab was a bullseye, too. Each major money decision for the past 30+ years has been predicated with "How much longer will I have to work to have THAT?" Helps you decide what and how much you 'need' vs. how much you 'want' something. I have a neighbor who owns a couple states worth of chicken restaurant franchises. His wife spends well. "How many more chickens will I have to sell?" is his way of 'normalizing' the decision process. His wife can't hear him on stuff like that, as mine can't hear me.

So I'm stuck driving a 20+ year-old car as a DD, something that costs more than $2/mile to drive, including all the parts and 'free' labor it can consume. It could be a lot worse, in the big picture of things. At least it's a comfortable and fun ride, and clubs fit easily in the back. Could be a LOT worse...

So I am coming home from work, and sure enough I find this. My wife has ordered some more patio furniture. How much of that stuff do we need. Unbelievable!

To add insult to injury, they had delivered it in _my_ garage area! :-(

ptuomov

OK, false alarm...

ptuomov

It's not patio furniture.

Regardless, you still have to put it together.

ptuomov

It's not a dining room set either...

ptuomov

Those boxes on the background are patio furniture, though.

I think.
