    Monday one of my co-worker's wife (not "one of my co-worker's wives..."/utard) test-drove my 2001 Saab 9-3, and is thrilled with it.  I had to keep telling them both, "It's not for sale unless/until I buy a new car!".  After work today I ran Her thru the car wash, then cleaned the hard parts after mowing the lawn, then drove Her around downtown Ogden with the top down...  I really don't want to sell Her!
    Tomorrow I've got a path mapped out to test-drive four or five vehicles, we'll see what happens.  
    I put 210,000 miles on my first Saab, 145,000 on my second, and 137,000 on this one (which I'd easily keep another 100K if I could reliably get parts).  Will be a bittersweet weekend, maybe.

    I had a 71 Saab 99E.  Would have been a great car had one of the front axles not popped out every few weeks (at the most inopportune times, no less).  I had painted it a metallic Imron grey, looked great. Fuel injected.

    I have a Craftsman edger for our lawn, that I purchased back in the 80's. Changed the blades out, a couple of belts, air filter and oil but that thing has worked like a charm via the first pull every time.
    They do not make them any more, and it is a shame. 
    I have no idea, how many people ask me where to get such a yard tool, and if it is for sale.
    Likely the best $138.00 I have ever spent on any took in my life.

    Furnace installed in 1966. It finally died this past winter after 52 years and had to be replaced. I doubt the new one will last that long.

    Original hot water heater in our 1950s cottage.  Was still going strong last year but I decided to replace for higher capacity while doing some other renovation work.

    I bought a  Tempur-pedic pillow approximately 13yrs ago. I consider it one of my best purchases.
