[Hey, Moe!]

Hi, everyone! Yes, I am still up!

Again, thanks to everyone who chimed in on this. All comments were read, digested appropriately, and thought about, since it is my nature to think a lot about major purchases.

I would love to just be able to get up on a nice fall day later this year, and go to my garage, and jump in a nice, clean, fun vehicle, and blast through the leaves here in the back roads.

Or, to say, "road trip," meaning that my sister and I will head for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and get a behind the scenes tour, since she "knows people."

These scenarios are why you buy a car, aren't they?

I don't look to modify this vehicle unless it doesn't suit my needs. If I purchase wisely, there might not be a need for that.

My girlfriend/landlord (yes, I pay rent), sweetheart that she is, keeps saying, "You were talking about this car back when you just got divorced, and struggled. Things are different now. Do what you want. Get the BMW."

I am a big believer in cars for lifestyles. I guess it is my time to step up to the plate.

I will let everyone know about the result.
