As I was filling my car with gas today, I thought, thank God those yahoos wrecked my old car in January. The Fusion gets about 50% better gas milage over the Freestyle, so at these prices, it'll pay for itself in no time

You were able to find and buy a new vehicle, you lucky son of a gun!!! Trying to find a new Chev Colorado to replace mine and they have them listed all over at dealers, but when you get there they are "In Transit" limbo with no clue as the when they will be in.

Not new. Used. 2013 with 140000 miles. Cost $9k with the $4500 from insurance as the down payment. Still owe $5k, but the money I'm saving on gas is more than the monthly payment.
Trying to find a used car under $10k was an adventure in itself. I'd see an ad for a car, go to the dealer to be told "It's getting our reconditioning service. Be ready in a week."
Then they'd raise the asking price a grand.

Our youngest is graduating high school today. 14 months ago, I was uncertain if he'd ever go back to school due to health issues which essentially took away a year of his education. Now here he is, graduating on-time with grades this year that jumped his GPA from 2.5 in July to 3.3 today. It's a happy day at our house.

Same problem over here, great shortage of new cars for on reason or another, Were reliant now on importing and with a shortage of computer chips world wide cars are not coming of the production line very fast, then there is also a shortage of shipping for transporting (Covid) hit the crews badly. If you manage to get a new car, stories are of people offering you $20k over purchase price. Good second hand cars are also very overprice.

Yep. Lot of pride and lot of emotion today. He's still not out of the woods, and may never be entirely free of his health problems...but we're a world away from where we stood a year ago.

Sometimes life can take a set back. I had a few, as most of us have, i am sure. So now he joined the club of climbers up. It is a good crowd to belong to. It does take a mans effort to restart school and succeed. My compliments to you and your family for his succes. I do not know in person you but your news cheered me up.
Thanks for that.

After four months of very restricted mobility, lots of pain, discomfort, and with walking almost impossible, and then having week ten of the new meds, I was able to take a few steps today, slowly, but not as painfully or cumbersome as previously.
So, I got on my mobility scooter, and went to the pub tonight - first time sine 4th February - and was totally astounded !!!
The whole pub stood up, applauded and cheered as as I crashed into the place on my "buggy" !!!!
There's nothing better in life than knowing that friends are REALLY friends !!!!
BRILLIANT !!!!!!!
