Momma wants a new fridge. You want a new tuner. You want Momma to be happy and take care of you.

Momma gets a new fridge. Your tuner will wait. I'd go in debt for neither.

If the old fridge still works, buy the tuner.

If she ain't happy...wait till she hits menopause, then she can sit in the old fridge & keep the food cold.

Go with the Fridge.
Totally agree.

They can't cost the same. Get the tuner and what's left, get a refrigerator.

a nice fridge is probably twice what a tuner is. buy the fridge and keep wife happy. save your pennies and get the tuner when you can pay cash for it.

She turned 70 last August, that menopause thing is a distant memory. Two days after her birthday she jumped on the bike and we spent 4 days in Sturgis, so she's doing ok.

We went shopping last night. My Fuel tuner is made by Whirlpool and holds 22 cubic feet.

But I DID get it at Lowes, and I DID get 18 months no interest, and because I'm retired military Lowes gives me an additional 10% off, so I did alright. When I'm ready for a PowerVision, there'll be money available for it. I need to educate myself on the install.

congrats.... i know a lot of folks who don't go for the 'pay over time' thing, but i don't have a problem going with the 0% interest and using my money now for what i want. i won't buy anything else on time from lowes until that item is paid off though.

the install on the pv is super simple. esp. if you just go with the pv basic and not the autotune. which the basic still does give you an autotune option with the narrowband o2 sensors.
