So, while I have not bought much in the way of 'stuff', I have spent on extra groceries, farewell drinks for a friend, etc. We also bought and installed a new ceiling fan which was $$$ but worth it.

Cracked radiator, fouled serpentine belt, head gaskets, possible crackled cylinder...it added up to about 1/3 of what we actually spent on a new, used car. Better gas mileage, though!
