Those of you who have known me for awhile will remember that beater Explorer in the driveway of the first pic from my post when I first bought it. It's been over eight years, and 118,000 miles since I got it. A couple of months ago, the 84 year old father of one of my oldest and best friends passed on, and no one else wanted to buy his 1996 Land Rover Discovery...with 56,000 one owner miles on it. I wanted it, and got it...for $2,500, at $50 per week terms. This is just one example of how fortunate I am these days.
