Getting closer - I'm almost back!

It has been a little over 4 years since I sold my '05 and will be back with a '12 this Saturday!

I can't wait...

Last Friday my wife found it about 2-1/2 hours away (I have the best wife ever!). We went and test drove it Saturday and put money down since it was almost closing time.

It is a '12 Vert 2LT with all the right options. The previous owner logged only 9k miles on it.

Congrats and it's a great feeling to "be back!"..... I made my return in 2014 with a 12 GS after having been away for 6 years ( sold my 05!).

< Me now!

Thanks for the welcome back and yes she's the best! Only issue is is that we are both car people, makes it hard on the wallet. This one's garage companion is a 1979 TATA.
