Good morning those arrive tomorrow... Was a late night for this 'old lady'.. But it was so much fun with my friends. And DU won, so that made it even better!!

I have no interest in the football game, but if I have a chance to watch the commercials, I will.

Today I'm selling my car to Sarah, Cameron's girl. Her car is 22 years old, mine is 10 years old and a few more bells and whistles. Especially the back up camera. And I'll be selling E's Ford for a new Chevy Trax hopefully they will have one I like (I hope, I have a family friend of my sisters who will be helping me).

Good morning, Penny! Glad you had lots of fun

GO PATS!

Hiya everyone!!!

Been doing some food prep and listening to The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb for nostalgia. Some f those songs were cheesy and others are soooo good. Sunny and cold here today. Enjoying the sun through the window. Eventually I have to get some paperwork done for work tomorrow. Been avoiding for a few days

Enjoy the day, everyone! Hope you enjoy whatever part of the Super Bowl interests you. I am all about the snacks.

Aftenoon, all!... happy Superbowl Sunday!
We know the winning coach will be a Mike - hoping for Vrabel myself, but only time will tell!

Penny - I'm sure Sarah will appreciate the upgrade, especially the back-up camera!

My SUV is coming up on 11 years old (April 1st of this year), and having driven new models of it (dealer loaners for warranty service) I will hang on to it as long as I can, as it has just the "right" amount of tech for me. The new ones had EVERYTHING done with a touchscreen, which I did not like. Since it has less than 40K on it, I should be good for a while!

Have fun shopping for a Chevy you like! It's nice that you have someone to help you with that, as some dealers do not take women buyers seriously! It is nice that you will have a garage for it when you change apartments, too! No more scraping and digging out!!

And just another quick thought—it you can, maybe consider a car that is a few years older. Often you can get a better deal because you aren’t paying for the “new” car. My information is older, but I had always been told that the depreciation of a new vehicle is 20% or more of the cost—meaning that you lose that much value as soon as it is no longer a new vehicle. Of course, some incentives can make getting a new vehicle too hard to pass up.

My car will be 13 this year. I have debating a newer car, but the prices are stupid high. I will just keep mine going especially since it has been a great rig. Even now with the maintenance and some parts replacements, it has still been much much much cheaper than a newer model. Who knows, though. I do miss having a convertible….

Hi there! This day is spent watching movies.

Nice to read your hockey game night was a good time, Penny.

She already loves it, and got her Bluetooth already hooked up.

I'll go for a 2025, but nothing older/used. I don't want to deal with someone else's problems. It's just a thing.. And it'll probably be the last car I'll ever own.

Thanks, Bill!

"Bueno", Dunkin' Donuts, and Pepsi w/ Polar bears was funny so far ... Haven't seen all the commercials tho..

The State Farm one was another good one! Jon Bon Jovi was in it.

I agree! I didn't see the first few seconds, but liked the ending.

So, I posted on FB the same thing... I needed subtitles for the halftime show. I've been told music is "Universal", but not when I can't understand the words, it was too busy, and too much crotch grabbing. I so wanted to enjoy his performance, but just didn't. Your mileage may vary.

GO SEATTLE!!

I listen to Tito Puente. Don't understand the lyrics but his music speaks.

Good for her!!

Eight there with you, Penny! As someone who keep cars for many years, I feel the same way!
