What did you buy this week?

[mike0000]

Month or so ago bought a new to me 5 speed beater. To replace my old daily driver that made it's final trip Told my wife yrs ago when I bought it at a auction I was going to drive the wheels off that old car, after the front driver side wheel bearing blew completely apart fusing the bearings race to the cv axle. I literally did I guess. Lol still, car ran great so I was going to replace all four wheel bearings cuz the other three were starting to go, put a jack under the unibodies frame rail and it pushed up thru the floor boards not to mention extensive rust perforations throughout the sub frame. I think got my moneys worth on that junker. Hopefully I'll get the same with my new beater. So far so good and less rust presently.

I’m all about having a beater
For daily running around too. My 1999Diesel E300 has 287k miles, known as “Old Smokey” I joke that it’s just getting broken in. I’ve driven several cars up to the point of scrapping them.

It's harder for me anyway to scrap cars I've named over the years so I try not to name my beaters lol.

Wife says we have to have one car that's acceptable to drive to weddings and funerals. Then I can have whatever I want.

So we always have one car that's nice and clean and safe and functional... and a 2003 Suburban, a 2013 Impala with 190K and rusty floorboards, and a 2000 Sable for backup!

Good choice, I'd drive a 2003 Suburban to a wedding or funeral any day too.

They could put me in the back of it on the way to my funeral.

That one actually isn't too bad. We picked it up out in Oklahoma about 4 years ago when our kid was living out there. Some minor rust. A LOT of scratches and dings. Interior dashboard is cracking, headliner sagging, but clean. 197K miles. Comfortable as heck. Tight steering. Rides great!

Our current "good" car is a 2020 Outback Limited. Very nice car. Happy wife happy life.

Wow. 25 pounds is a lot of peppermints.

Must have been a bargain price. I have a taste for double salted licorice.. Have to order from Amazon now. $38 per kg
