a few months ago, we bought a sports car. not a big deal, except

that in my old MO days, we would've NEVER gotten it. now, the dh

wants to trade it in, however, i feel that he's taking away

something that signifies a milestone. don't get me wrong, i'm not a

car person or materialistic, but i don't know about this one. it's

not the most practical car, it guzzles gas, bleh, bleh.

what would YOU do???

Take a picture of yourself in the car, in front of the car, driving

the car, and trade it in for something a bit more practical. Then

with the money you are saving on payments, insurance, gas, etc, go

to a nice warm tropical beach, or some other trip you have dreamed

of going on. That is what I would do.

wanna fight w/ dh), it's a 2 seater, so one day we'll have to part

If it's not about the money, and it makes you feel good, I say KEEP

IT! Tell DH how you feel about it, and the significance it has to

you. And then promise you won't pick up cute guys in it when you're

looking hotter than hot!

Thanks, Lori- but the first 17.5 I had to lose pre-op. The other 28

has been in the last month. Feels so good to be under 300!
