Congratulations on the new ownership. It will bring years of smiles. The accelerator pedal can be a great psychiatrist too.

OH!...and you have excellent taste in colors.

Welcome

I really do wanna lower it, but I can barley get out of the driveway now, I couldn't imagine driving it lowered around town, probably end up scraping the bottom and the roads in MO are worse than I thought now that I've driven through a couple other states when I got the car.
