This bad boy is $2,060.

Can you imagine spending that much for an espresso maker? My husband would kill me.

I bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey Touring a week ago. I haven't had the nerve to drive it yet, except from the dealer to the garage. My son has it for a week or two and he wants to teach me how to drive it.

3723. arkymalarky - 4/4/2006 10:31:50 PM

Oooh, those are nice, Mags.

3724. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 4:20:34 PM

Magoseph!

Whar are you waiting for? Tell me all about yur new car - why'd you buy it, what do you like about it? What color did you pick?

3725. PelleNilsson - 4/5/2006 6:46:38 PM

I'm disapponted. I thought Mago had bought a motorcycle.

I hope the espresso machine is energy efficient so that it will eventually pay for itself (by the time your great grand children are using it).

3727. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 9:03:08 PM

Mago will have to wait almost as long to recover the premium she paid for the Honda over an American car.

Pelle, Wonk--I’m disappointed that I had to buy this car, but Flexy wanted it—the only satisfaction I have is that I got a sizable discount paying cash.

Jen, it’s kind of a silver grey, but, you know, I can’t be excited about buying cars, appliances, or clothes. I have too much of all that around here anyway and being a miser, I’m actually sick right now about the Honda.

3729. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:02:28 PM

Wonkers,

The espresso machine was a birthday present and the capsules only cost .49 cents each.

3730. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:03:10 PM

Mags,

I can't believe you're not even excited about driving a new car.

3731. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 11:07:00 PM

Just kidding Jen. I live in a town populated by BMWs, Porsche Cayenne and Cadillac SUVs, Mercedes Benzes whose owners all probably have espresso machines in addition to being at least 90 percent conservative Republicans. I have to keep my head down to avoid fist fights at the grocery store and on the road.

3732. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:09:18 PM

I would never punch you because of your inferiority.

3733. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:09:57 PM

Just kiddin'. WHat's wrong with an espresso maker anyway. I'm a coffee goober.

3734. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:12:42 PM

And you know - I am glad you bought up the $$ issue. This maker is the best for the price and it's tiny (can you tell I'm excited?) and it will save me a fortune. The average espresso is arounf $1.75 - the average latte around $3.00 - the average anything else around $4.50.

Mine only costs $.49 each.


Jen's Java Joint.

I'll serve the Ristretto opening night.

The Odyssey is a beautiful van with a lot of wonderful features. I looked at one when I bought my other van. I had to have a good commuting car, but if I were looking for another van, the Odyssey would have been one I'd have loved if I could afford it while I'm still paying for Mose's Jetta, which I couldn't.

3736. arkymalarky - 4/5/2006 11:37:53 PM

If you have to buy something, you might as well be excited about it and certainly enjoy it once the deed is done. That's what I keep telling Bob about the Civic, but then he doesn't get to drive it.

3737. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:43:37 PM

I've been saving my pennies for the Dodge Magnum, but Consumer Reports said it wasn't a very economical vehicle.

I have to find somethinga s cool as it is, but is more gas efficient. After all, gas will keep getting more expensive.

3738. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:44:09 PM

I can get a sweet deal on a Suburban now.

Gee, wonder why?

3739. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:45:00 PM

Seriously, the Chevy dealer here is offering 2007 suburbans for under $30K. A year ago, the 2006 was listed at $45K.

3740. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:45:19 PM

That is a sign to buy an economical car.
