Sadly, it was time to say goodbye to an old friend:



Had served me well. However, she was getting a little old and she didn't have the same attraction as she did in years past.
So I decided to sell her off to a new owner and I picked up another, new friend (if you go through wives like this, you might want to seek counseling )

























And at the end of my first day of travel back home:



I really like the contrast between the Grey and the Red of the brakes. I tend to like the Ebony/red interior of the base coupe better, but I'm sure this will grow on me!

Hope you enjoyed those pictures!



Joe

Nice new friend! I hope your old friend went to a good home. I really enjoy the two tone interior, it is much more lively than the monotone interiors. Enjoy the great ride.

If I'm going to go from a very attractive wife to a BOMBSHELL like that then I'm in and forget counseling.
