Long story short, got hit with my car that I hadn't paid off (cheap through family), and it was insured for 3 times what I had to pay for it. Now I have that car paid off, $4000 to spend on a new car and money left to celebrate with the most expensive beer down at the local Belgian Beer Bar:



Hope everyone else has an excellent weekend too

Hey, that can't be beer, it's doesn't look like foamy piss…oh, wait…you're not in America…never mind!

Chimay...yum!

A lady friend of mine says that if you give a girl Chimay, "she will!" Of course she said this in front of my wife...

Well, I've been looking at a few cars for AU$4000, mostly Holdens (Vauxhall/Opel) and Toyotas from the mid to late nineties. Any tips?
