[V8] Unregrettables

[Ed Kellock]

Honestly, any car I have chosen to own and even others that I have the
opportunity to drive.  The Avant, when I go camping, The v8 5spd when I need
to tow something, the v8 automatic when I just want to cruise along, the cgt
when I want to feel miata-ish and/or frugal.  The urq when I want to make
some noise and really feel some boost.

Beyond that, having a laptop and a wireless router at home have been really
enjoyable.

The 15" LCD TV in the bathroom generates endless jeers and jibes from
friends, until they are a guest in my house for long enough to, well you
know...

My 1/4 inch drive socket set.
my low profile jack from harbor freight
the new fridge, washer, and dryer I bought last summer (amazingly)

I'd list my house, my first, but it was never really what I wanted with a
one car garage and no fireplace or a/c, but if I think about it for long
enough (a minute is enough) I remember how much happier I am than in any
apartment of the past.

the Vector jump-start/air compressor, bought at Sam's club, used often and
in every configuration, even to apply 12v to various automotive components
during testing, & cleaning, repair (cruise control vacuum pump).

Oh yeah, there's the beer fridge, which came into the house as and apartment
fridge, purchased the day the old "icebox" died and used as primary I got
the new fridge mentioned above.  ;-)

And it's just about time to plop the window a/c unit back in the bedroom
window.  Going to be in the 90's here on Sunday.  It was 37 this morning
when I first checked.  Man's greatest invention, air condition.
