Your Great Purchases

[Wolf359]

Equinox gym membership. Over $200 a month now. Worth it just for the look on people's faces when I tell them how much it is.

Makes me go though and it's super nice. No riff raff either.

And there are also other places like Orange Theory or Barry's which are even more money.

Howard Miller mechanical key wind wall clock.

Lennox hvac system.
Had my doubts. Got a great installer and got the best units actually cheaper than Bryant and many other makes.
Amazingly quiet and efficient.
Saving electric and propane now.
How quiet? Runs like an electric hot water heater...that quiet.
Great warranty too.

What have you purchased that exceeded your expectations?

Even if it was very expensive you didn't mind paying for it or don't mind continuing to pay for it.

The McRIB.

93 M35A3.
No fuses, no glow plugs. Air assist steering and dual circuit air assist brakes.
6.6L Cat diesel. Adjust tire pressure on the fly. 48" tires.
Blast to drive. Poor MPG.

Whoa, amazing ride, how much did that set you back? Did you have to do any maintenance to it when you bought it considering it probably was in a war zone?

 

[Accent Abuser]

My Accent. For a $17,000 car to be as dead reliable as it's been with as hard as a drive it has made me say more than once "I really made a good choice with this car". Using it for work it has easily put quadruple its value worth of money in my pocket, and I have no worry it will do so for several hundred thousand more miles, provided some idiot doesn't total it.

$100? Was that the copay or did you have the procedure performed in the back alley by a welder named Bubba?
