Well I've never had to worry about a car to look after because I don't drive. Crankin your next car might be your last car so make it a good one.

A few months ago, I gave in and bought a new home computer..after other one died following a 6 yr. old lifespan...which to me, I wish it lasted a decade. Dearie does look at certain parts but doesn't spend a lot of time and energy looking for the cheapest deal all over town. Speed is important to me because of how I use my computer..and memory. I chatted with my work colleague who shares same cubicle space as mine...about what to do abaout a non-functional hard drive which has sensitive info. (1%). He said keep it for now. Too bad I couldn't find time to go to a public demolition of discarded hard drives, iphones that our local police was organizing and executing the debris smash up. It would have been perfect.
