Today we have a job to do, and go figure, we took early retirement years ago. Our job requires us to wait and accept shipment of one of my brother’s four cars, (his black Mercedes is not shown) when the transport company arrives. Every year he ships a different car to Florida. This year it will be his ultra long Hyundai Genesis. The Range Rover is a great car for snow, so it will never see the beautiful Florida sunshine. Like us, he loves luxury cars. So we will be here waiting for his car to arrive and do our job as best we can.

rough life. My lease on the Miata is up in March. Trying to figure out if I should get another one (which I want) or get something more practical and less expensive (which I don't want).

We have great tastes in many things. I hope you splurge and get what makes you feel good. Whatever you get, don’t get a Chevy!

Your brother is lucky that you're willing to go "back to work" to wait for his car. My daughter wanted a Range Rover for Christmas but Santa didn't have enough room in his sleigh

@DianneN I love Audi! I almost bought one a few years ago! The only reason I didn't was because the closest dealership and repair shop was an hour and a half away in Jacksonville. But I may have to re-think my car-buying plans, because Audi just opened up a huge dealership here in Gainesville!

@moffittjc Our younger son has an Audi. It’s a wonderful car, but the servicing is outrageous. Only authorized dealerships have the “key” to make repairs. BMW servicing is free, but we weren’t happy with our SUV. Too big and too complicated for us to use.

@DianneN Why does he ship a different car there each year? I figured he wants a car to have access to drive around but why a different one each year?

@Hannihar I think he just likes variety. I doubt it’s a mileage thing. I know he’s planning on getting a new car in the spring. My husband wants a new one this summer. Men and their toys!

@DianneN Is there some reason why it is a different one and not the same one or is it a mileage thing? I was curious.

@LindaOHio I just read that drinking water is one of the best things for coughs. We have to wait until it arrives. They will call us an hour before they get here. What a bummer! I’m going out and will let my husband wait.
