I sold my 04 JCW and had enough equity for a good start on her first semester. I still need a way to get to work, so I ordered an 06 MC. Payment drops about a C-note, so there's more pocket money for the munchkin and I get to stay in the hobby with a slightly different perspective.

win - win.

It should be here in mid June. Meanwhile, I reclaimed the old CRV she drives for work duty.

I just picked up my SB/S MC on Saturday. I just can't stop driving it. I wasn't sure of the color at first, but now I love it!!!

I'm thinking the Space Blue owners are a 'little out there' (if you know what I mean)...and they haven't quite figured out that this board even exist. I know there are a lot of SB's out there - When I ordered my Astro the dealer was telling me how hot and fast the orders for the SB's were coming in ...but where are they all?

Ahh...I see. Again, you're a great father...some of us can only wish we had someone like you growing up.

Pictures in my gallery, week 37 - picked up 11/05. I'm ok with it but it sure shows the dirt and any swirls, nicks or other blemish.

I would have gotten a checkmate, but I am rotten at playing chess whenI am driving

The more important item of business is are there enough of us to take over the world yet

Then it went through a couple face lifts and now it is to the point that I am happy with the way it looks.
