Default Last Big Purchase???

Just curious what was your last "BIG" purchase. Its funny but I haven't purchased and high dollar value items in a couple months. Last couple were

Tires for the MDX (800)
ipad (499)
Tires for the Bimmer (500)
Garage cabinets (700).

Looking at this year, I think we're at a point where we are in a position where we actually DON'T have any plans to buy anything big. We are already heavy on consumer electronics and have plenty of clothes/goods.

What have you guys bought/looking to buy in 2011??

Mudflaps to make my Jeep compliant with Turkey laws and probably a TV.

not planning on much this year.. starting medic class in 9 days and that will consume me for the next 10 months, on top of work. tuesday i am applying at 2nd EMS provider to ensure hours ,since my availability will be going down. i was given inside info that i can look forward to doing BLS standbys at local sporting events (watch game, get paid).. so that will be filling in the holes of my schedule. main priority is to pay off my truck this year, then probably get a cheap DD after being hired as a medic.

if i can afford it, i would like to find a dual core laptop and possibly get a new 16gb ipod nano though.. but we'll see.

When do you leave for Turkey? I can't believe they have code enforcement for mudflaps. Cali has a vc for that but they don't usually enforce it and we're a nazi state.

Why not just get a touch? lots more functionality and the price difference isn't too drastic.

And later on this week i'm planning on a new home theater receiver. the plan is to spend around 3-400. Any suggestions?

Too bad you missed the HT-RC270 for $400, but you can grab its little brother for $330

I cant remember the last big purchase I made, unless getting to "donate" 295.50 to the state of TN for my speeding ticket counts.

Only thing I can think of for future this year is maybe some stuff for the WRX.

That RC270 is a beast. I may have to spend the extra change and get it.. although it may take me a while to figure out all of the features.

Cnet is saying the 260 has lackluster audio quality.
