Retired life is great. Got a good sum of money coming in BUT nothing like when the wife was working. It makes a HELL of a difference. I can't buy stuff at will anymore. Maybe goodwill..LOL
Sorry to hear about your job. I wouldn't call a Ford being on the dark side. My second favorite car is a '64 Galaxie.
I know what a pain in the ass the DMV can be. I just paid almost $600 to get a title and register my car. A nice little new years present from the DMV to me. That's the single most expensive sticker I have ever bought. They are going to be sending me the title in the mail.
