Suggestion, take a look at Haggerty or one off the other specialty insurers. Haggerty will insure new vehicles at fixed valuations, as long as they are not daily drivers. I have the TTS insured for a fixed $115K for $1700 for a full 12 months of coverage.

I literally just took what was in my "car fund" and threw it into the stock market last night. I figure, 1) It'll make a lot more there than as cash, 2) Allow me to wait out the used car market.
I look at this as a win/win and it will allow me to purchase the car I want and not based solely on price.

Glad to hear you are near normal. A friend of mine who definitely lives for today scolded me as I was painfully considering the 911- "so you'll wait until your left leg goes numb and can't drive it?". I agreed and got off the fence.

Btw, I once saw a Camry going down the road with a bumper sticker that said "Drum Machines Have No Soul."

Exactly! We are both healthy and given the uncertain times, we both looked at each other and asked what are we waiting for? Money was not that big an issue and both kids are kicking butt in the world and do not need us for anything. It's the two of us again and a dog. The future is now.

probably had the more serious type of stroke(name i cant remember) its where some plaque type substance flows and gets into brain and blocks larger areas and thus more damage..

In my case, my wife had a massive cerebral hemorrhagic stroke Dec 2016, her second stroke. How she survived, I don't know. After 1 year in various medical facilities and nursing home, I brought her home. To say it changed our lives is an understatement...she's mentally and physically disabled for life now. And she's only 55 now. I was writing $10K checks/month for 9 months for her nursing home plus crazy medical bills. Kinda changes your financial perspective after that. Took me till last year to finally recover mentally, and I said screw it...buy it now or give most of it to Uncle Sam eventually (has to do with elder care laws). Started looking in April and finally got one in July. Still didn't splurge though...got a high spec but high mileage 2012 C2S. LOVE IT!! My first and hopefully more to come. Lesson learned...life is short, tomorrow is never promised. Enjoy it while you can.
