first new car in 30 years

I'm goin on 60 - purchased Lil Min New -(call it a late mid life crisis gift). A 06 Hyper Blue Cooper-24,050 miles. Have Installed a DDM CAI and Megan Catback, a few other little odds and ends- more as my budget allows.

All of those "old guys" have just as much spirit and more experience than you. Hang out with them and take their advice.

Fossil Check-in

Entered the fray 6 days before D-Day

! Probably a good thing. If I'd had Beelzebub when I was 25, I'd be sending this from jail, and by mail. As I. Jones once said: "It's not the years, it's the mileage".
