Carlisle 2015: I'm in the 5th row from the bottom, 4th car from right to left (red C5 with sunshade). At this zoom level, I am very hansom.

This picture was taken a couple of years ago when I was fat.
It was taken at a car show ( I did not win) It was January.
I am much better looking, a better smile ( I spent 12k on my teeth) and the car is faster, now
Later


Oh yea, the printer put the wrong logo on the poster board. ( I didn't pay him)

Feb 24th, 2019- my first picture with my car before I even bought it!! This was the day my wife and I went to look at it, and it was all I had hoped it would be! My wife saw the smile on my face and wanted to capture the moment that I knew I was going to buy it, and a dream 46 years in the making was soon to be a reality!

That silly grin hasn't yet left my face since I bought it!

p.s. maybe some one can tell me how to send pics.
Go all the way to the bottom to the blank box..
There are small icons at the top of the box. Click on the one that looks like a postcard to the left of the smiling face icon.
Then click on "browse your device". It will take you to your computer or phone file.
Click on the photo(s) you want to display but don't open it.
Click on "open" at the bottom right of the page.
Then click on upload at the top right.
Finally click on "Post quick reply" or "advanced" if you want to add a file such as a pdf file.

If you want to respond to a specific post, click on "quote"

Day 1, within the first few minutes of ownership, was a bit of a chilly morning and I was anxious to put some miles on this thing!

Seems the salesman's phone captures the detail of the wheels much better than my own...
