Maybe you could buy a few of them per week and eat them plus power your car from them. Buy the 2GB models, they're tastier and you'll get better mileage.
 
my most depressing receipt today is one that i can't find.

$34 for gas in the company car on my Visa...

the lack of that receipt is holding back over 1200 bucks in expenses :/

ugh

Is your Audi love fading away? 😛

Never 😉

Parts weren't that bad
Labor is what killed me 🙁 🙁

If I could have done it all myself, I would have.

This is exactly why, after over 30 years of "BMW love," I'm about to get rid of what will be my last Bimmer.

I love the cars, love the way they drive and handle, but since I can no longer do my own repairs and maintenance, they've finally gotten too expensive for me to own.

BMW= Break My Wallet
BMW = Bring More Wrenches

But they truly are "The Ultimate Driving Machine."
(some just a bit more "ultimate" than others.) 😀

Electronics always seem to exhibit deflation over time, unlike most consumer goods.

But as they age and become rarer they start to inflate again. Case and point, the older generation consoles (NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis). Same goes with older, rarer games.

Doooooood! :Q WTF did you have "repaired?" The engine, transmission and all the glass? Sounds like a seriously expensive repair. I hope the car is worth more than $3K.

Yeah, I don't see the fascination with old video games and game systems. I saw an unopened copy of Chrono Trigger sell on ebay for some outrageous amount (hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars, I can't remember exactly). It was a good game, but not THAT good.
