Well, at least I'm distracted. And smiling. I got a new car -- best one ever! See my new baby here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buick-Riviera-2dr-Cpe-/152014059321?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2364be7739:g:AUEAAOSwG-1Ww6~s&item=152014059321. Scroll down to see it inside and out.
It wasn't this one (mine has 155,000 miles on it), but in near-mint condition and in all respects the same car, even the gray color (except mine doesn't have the green racing stripes on the doors). Drives like a dream. Only 18,000 were made, so it's a rare car. The base price listed at $30,010 in 1996. Has a reputation as one of the best, mechanically reliable cars ever made. And, unbelievably (for its size--17 ft x 6.5 ft, the Chevy Suburban beats it by only nine inches--and weight--3,800 lbs.), the mpg is similar to my old Honda Accord (city low 20s, highway high 20s, blended mid-20s). The only downside is a supercharged engine requires premium gasoline. I'll live with it. And when I check out of this lifetime, it'll become the hottest casket on planet Earth. (And my son thinks he's going to get it. Ha! I'm takin' it with me.)
And, did I mention hot? Oh, yeah! Already had two guys eyeballing it yesterday. :D

It's pretty :) Enjoy your new car :)
I am so happy for you Cheryl, it is a beauty, Na the guys were eyeballing you. I have two old cars on life support I understand what a newer car means. Or should I say an older car that is like new.
Nice!!
Enjoy it in good health, Cheryl!
