Default The AE Is All Ours!

We got the paperwork last night and broke out the champagne ...

... Grace is all ours - completely paid off!



My wife says it feels different driving Grace now. All I know is that she is still one achingly gorgeous car ...

Congratulations! I know that feeling from previous cars, and it's a VERY good one to know that she's all yours.

Congrats! They are stunning cars. I took ours to get safety inspected this week and the mechanic was drooling over the car. He asked all kinds of questions about the 03'AE. Now he's searching for one. LOL.

We took ours out today with the top down, what a beautiful day! However my wife and I are now sunburned to a crisp.

Now that It's all paid off, let the mods begin! David
