I Can't Stand It!!!!

Hi,

Just took delivery Saturday of my 2006 MCS dark silver with black top, 17" alloys, chrome ext/int and I can't stop looking at it and driving it!

How long does this last? A long time I hope!

Ron

Mine lasted until Hurricane wilma scratched it up real bad. But I'm OK when I go to the other side or when I see her from a distance.

Sorry to hear that - I think I'd be devastated.

It actually gets worse. I sometime find myself parking in places where I can always keep an eye out for it. The compulsion gets even greater. This feeling will last forever.

I'll let you know when it stops for me. I got mine March 2005 and I still just stare at her and want to drive her all the time!

Oh... and awesome color choice!!

It has been 1 1/2 years for me and I am setting here looking out the window at the Demon while I type this. I park it so I can do that.
