Aside from anything sex related, or making a charitable donation (as highly admirable as those are), what so far are the very best 1 or 2 purchases you've ever made and please say why you think so for anything named.

HDTV and DirectTV. Now I don't need a live or go outdoor. Actually, it maybe the worse thing I have ever bought.

Cheapo bike for $200. Before I got it, I hadn't ridden since I was ten or less. I forgot how amazing it feels to be on two wheels.

Recently I would have to say getting the A/C in my car fixed. These past two days, the heat index has been 100F or so with high humidity and being able to stay cool is worth every penny of what I spent ($400).

I was about to give benefit of the doubt, but no, his profile says California.

I wish that was true.
