tools mostly
I got hooked on looking for dial indicators, got 3 starretts all mini out of which one is a .0001 but with very small range (I believe it's .025) and another one british made also having .0001 graduations with .250 range which is really nice for that resolution. also got a couple of bore gages (.4 to .7 and .7 to 1.4) both with electronic dial indicators.

then I stopped as I was spending too much :)

I've been kinda looking at these.  Not sure if I'll buy one yet. Still looking and doing research.  Problem is, most that I find are red and I hate red with red interiors.

Hah...probably one in between....I just like the idea of him having a Golf...100-150k miles...$2-4k range...good gas mileage, AC, reliable...will be for him while he's at school in Alabama. 

Keeping the Grand Cherokee up here.  more than 200k on the clock, but working fine for the next one to use...especially during the winter...

Cars? What are 'cars'?
I had been looking for a FlatFender and finally came across a DJ3a. Really nice shape.
What I do look for is antique and vintage hypodermics. My kid sister is a Woundcare Specialist/Medical Assistant that also teaches Medical Assistance. She has a world class collection of hypodermics and syringes, thanks to BigBro. I've found them all over the world.

Cars, trucks, whatever.  I'm looking through ebay, Hemming's, Classic Auto Trader and a few others just about every day looking for stuff.

Yea, I know what you mean. I'm just not allowed. I've got three short-wheelbase Jeeps, a 1700 RoadStar, and a Meyers Manx DuneBuggy. When ever she walks behind me when I'm on the computer and she sees ANYTHING automotive or firearm related, she gives me a shot in the back of the head.  :'(

I regularly look up defender 90s, specifically the '97 models. Occasionally I'll look at Land Cruisers. My recent searches are more serious in nature and have been LJs in my area.

Update... ended up buying a 2001 Grand Cherokee V8 with only 92K on it.  Just can't get away from those Jeeps....
