wifey has informed me she wants to quit work and stay home full time.  waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! soooo... what's the first to go? I think her recently acquired BMW vert. But, unfortunately, the one that will fetch the most money is my Alfa.

Wife gave up a BMW 3 when she figured out that the stroller that we just HAD to have did not fit in the trunk. My plan is to pay off my Accord and then get the fun vehicle, BMW Z4 would be nice. gbrozen- do not sell the alfa. It's the kind of thing that you won't be able to recreate and when the babies are grown up they will be able to tell the stories of riding in it when they were big kids! |

Replying to: bristol2 (Aug 13, 2007 1:36 pm) we'll see what happens. she is currently still working, but wants to stop as soon as we can figure out how to afford it. By the way, our one stroller just fits in the bimmer trunk, but the "jogging stroller" doesn't stand a chance.

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 13, 2007 4:47 pm) Same for us, we had one of those 'crossover' strollers that was supposed to be useful as a jogger and with enough storage etc to use as a regular stroller. Of course, in the end it did neither well and was too big. I think we probably used it a total of 30 times.

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 13, 2007 4:47 pm) bristol2 - you'd be amazed (or maybe not by now) how easy it is not to take little things like does the stroller fit in the trunk for granted. I did pass on a VW Cabrio (yeah, I know... chick car.....) because one of my requirements was that my guitar could fit in the trunk without folding the rear seat down. That would have meant my (at the time) two kids and wife could ride along if I was playing somewhere. I ended up in a Sebring and while I don't know if that particular scenario ever came up but I did use the extra room.

Replying to: fezo (Aug 13, 2007 6:14 pm) I'll keep you in mind. ;b I just went through an ordeal replacing the cat converter this weekend to get it to pass inspection (which it did yesterday. woohoo!), so I'm attached to it for the moment. At least until the trauma has subsided.

A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so >it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.

Replying to: euphonium (Aug 14, 2007 7:36 pm) I first looked at the pics and thought, "who wouldn't check a building of that size??!" And, sure enough, my suspicions were with merit.
