It's done. A pw/bl lounge leather will be joining the family. I hope it won't be intimidated by it's larger gas guzzling siblings (4 door Jeep Rubicon and a Mercedes G Wagen).

I'm looking ahead for some spirited driving along Rt. 6/202, a spectacular twisty mountainside stretch, carved dangerously close to edge, overlooking the Hudson River and Bear Mountain. James Bond, Aston Martins', the French Riviera and beautiful women all come to mind. ( Not necessarily in that order)

No, it certainly won't be intimidated. However, it will gloat and brag about the fact that you can still afford to drive it while the other cars just sit at home, kind of like how Woody from Toy Story was ignored after the kid got the cool Buzz Light Year toy.

Great analogy. "Woody".... hmmm, could be the name of the mccs.

I wonder what the boys at the office would have to say about the name?

Thanks,

Hello,
I ordered the 17" crown spokes. Can any city dwellers comment on the wisdom of that.

Thanks,
towtruck
