    Not that detail. That's the one they pay attention to the most. ;)

    He said he needed a break.

    I've seen him online a few times but he just answers a few questions then leaves.

    I miss him too. I hope everything is okay with him.

    The "Relationship" board just isn't the same without him.

    I am also now stuck with being one of the only flirts (besides Chuff and KP) that are online on a regular basis... but I don't mind that.

    KP has been awol a lot too. I miss him.

    Chuff just likes to fight with me, but he's a good sparring partner.

    Sneezy is busy doing Sneezy things, but I get to talk to him every day so
    I don't get the chance to miss him. ;)

    Tiggy is our resident flirt. How does it feel to be the only C*ck in the hen house? :cool:

    So, my car is fixed. One thousand dollars later and they still don't know why the damn circuit board fried in the first place, so it could happen again.

    I really don't want to trade it in right now, it only has 53,000km on it.

    Still, I don't need a mini van anymore, the kids are bigger now.

    Also, I'm tired of driving an automatic, hate it.

    So, should I suck it up, drive my teal monster van or sell it and get a smaller car?

    What do you all think?

    Remember, I got the job I applied for so I'll be driving a lot more. The van is not great on gas.

    Opinions?

    Do I know how to clear a room or what?
  • Sep 3, 2009, 11:08 AM

    Get a sports car... 2 seater :cool:

    Seriously though, I would go for something smaller and more economical, not only are they easier and more fun the drive they are going UP in value due to petrol prices rising.

    Get in now before they are all too expensive ;)

    Depends on two factors: is the mini van paid off?

    If you sold the mini van and bought a new car would you be making payments on the new car?

    We just bought an awesome little Toyota for 4,000, low mileage, 1997 model runs on the smell of an oily rag.

    I reckon a van would be worth a lot more.

    The resale value of SUVs are fairly low due to gas prices. They depreciate much faster than cars now days. At least in my experience.
  • Sep 3, 2009, 11:35 AM

    Oooh OK, I assumed they would be worth a lot more, you pay a fortune for the darn things here, same and 4wds.

  • Sep 3, 2009, 11:38 AM
    shazamataz

    Yes, Alty tells us off for not replying to her and then she leaves... the nerve of some people :rolleyes:

    What has been happening with you anyway?

    I have had a *insert swear word* night... had a huge fight with a "friend" so decided to down some vodka.
  • Sep 3, 2009, 11:40 AM
    kctiger

    Vodka huh... that is a bit too strong for my tastes, but sometimes it is needed.

    Nothing major going on with me, just work and school and the occasional night out.

    Sorry to hear about the fight with your friend. That is never fun.
  • Sep 3, 2009, 11:47 AM
    shazamataz

    Yeah, we fight a lot, I am actually getiing very tired of it, her boyfriend is my partners best friend... if she wasn't I don't think she would be the sort of person I would choose to hang out with.

    Hanging out with some other friends tomorrow night to de-stress and remember that I have other people in my life besides them.

    So I pre-appologise for any nonsense posts tomorrow night haha.

    Work is good, work = money to come to Australia ;)

    I was curious about how many Canadian members are on AMHD, I believe Altenweg and Needkarma are Canadian. If anyone could print a list that would be great.

    The mini van is paid in full.

    If I sold it I'd buy used. I don't plan on spending extra. I plan to buy something that will be covered by whatever I sell the van for.

    My main concern is finding something that would equal the van.

    It's very unlikely that I'll get something comparable. Like I said, the van only has 53,000km on it, but it is a 2001. I doubt I'll get much for it. So I'm looking at a vehicle with more km's on it.

    I WISH I could come to Australia... I would in a heart beat, believe me... probably wouldn't come back.

    Alty, get rid of the van and go with something more economical, that's my advice.

    I'm really considering it.

    I did find a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire, it has 71,000km on it, it's a standard (which I like). The main problem is that it's a 2 door, that will make it harder with the kids, but I can live with it. Also, it's a 4 cylinder, so not much oomph. My van is 6 cylinders but heavy so the extra oomph isn't really noticeable, but still, 4 cylinders, that's pretty sad.

    It's $4,500.00. I think I can get at leas $6,000 for my van.

    I'm really considering it.

    I'm out of town this week and my roommate is watering my garden. She just called to say that she found a zucchini hiding - it's 18 inches long, 12 inches in circumference, and weighs about 5 pounds. Any ideas for this monster? :p

    OMG! 18 inches long. :eek:

    I'm biting my tongue right now. I have many ideas for this monster. Too many, none of which I'm allowed to outline here.

    Someone help me! 18 inches!

    Okay, actually, 18 inches and 12 inches in circumference. OUCH!

    Just saying. ;)
