I am a 100% disabled combat vet. So I can't do the deck and things like that any longer. Just physically can't. Plus, the deck is 15 ft in the air and failed structurally because Warren County allowed the builder to install it without meeting code. We didn't expect to replace it - it's 9 years old. But builder constructed it out of untreated lumber and used 3 4X4 columns where he should have used 4 6X6 columns. I've stained it and cleaned it 3X, but this past winter, the snow loads were too much for the columns.
I am extremely mechanically proficient, just getting older and it hurts to do it.
I've been asked several times about "why am I buying a BMW?" My total income allows for it. I have a house payment and one credit card.

Many here were quick to judge, kind of making light of the situation just for fun, but sorry to hear about your injury brother and do appreciate your service. I try to live my life in a way that would make Vets proud to serve. My friend on his 2nd forrestor is also a vet, he's about 35 though. He's a successful small biz owner here in a well known biz in town and a great guy.
Up in NC the subaru's are literally everywhere, and for good reason I am sure. We own all 3 of our cars too, I'm a big believer in cash only. Have a great day, hopefully the finances go back to where they were before this mess soon!
