Hmmm... I smile when I wake up and there's a beautiful woman lying next to me... (most days anyway...she's my wife!)

I have to walk out to the garage to see my other baby... and she's 6 feet off the ground...!!! She too is beautiful!!

Also, since no one has said it yet...
THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PICS!!!!

I still tuck mine in each night (after 18 months of ownership) and make sure she's alright. If/when the feeling goes away I'll let you know. Enjoy, and Save the Wave

Nice! I also know what you mean about not being able to drive it. Detroit is no better than Chicago when it comes to the weather! Only got mine back in early November 2005, so it'll be a solid three or 4 months till i can really drive it on a regular basis.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!
