I haven’t stopped buying retirement gifts for myself. Lots of camera gear, ebike, and a soon to be Ford Bronco
I haven’t stopped buying retirement gifts for myself.
I'm currently shopping for a toy car. I'd decided on a Mazda Miata RF, but after driving them, I think I want something with a little more room. There wasn't anywhere to put my purse! Now I'm thinking a Subaru BRZ, or Toyota 86.
That's a good idea. The only thing I'd be concerned about with a Jeep, is my son (who is a car nut) tells me that the ride isn't very good (I have to admit that I don't know what he means by that. And him being 16 and not having driven many cars I'm not sure he does either. Does it not handle well? Uncomfortable to ride in?). One of the things I want to use it for is a 2 hour trip I make back and forth to my parents- I'd have to make sure it's comfortable enough for that. I have a friend who has one and has ordered herself a new Bronco. I'll ask her if I can drive it.How about a Jeep Wrangler? I never owned one but they seem like a lot of fun.
If you are interested in a Wrangler go with the JL Sahara Unlimited(4 door) model best ride in a Wrangler. We've owned 5 and having the newer longer wheelbase definitely helps.That's a good idea.

Did a quick search and didn't see a thread on this. I apologize if it has been discussed.
What retirement gifts have people treated themselves to? I've been saying for years that I was going to get myself a nice watch (Omega Seamaster). I always wanted a nice (but not flashy) watch.
What have others treated themselves to?
A 16 year old boy/car nut.... Maybe he's not looking at the right Jeep... Have him checkout a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk... Can't even imagine a 16yr old boy car nut not finding something to like about that. (Oh and it's super comfortable too!)T The only thing I'd be concerned about with a Jeep, is my son (who is a car nut) tells me that the ride isn't very good (I have to admit that I don't know what he means by that.

16 year old is into sports cars. He's currently rooting for a Toyota 86, though he is also lobbying for a muscle car. 13 year old loves trucks and is rooting for the Jeep.A 16 year old boy/car nut....

Rolex are nice. Just not my thing.Omega's nice - but how about those Gold Rolex ?

Was looking at them both. Really like a nice watch, but then I realized, I don’t wear a watch anymore. It would be like going out and buying a really nice suit. Just don’t ever wear either anymore.
