Default Bird has a new nest - 56k Beware!!!

Well I went up to Mt Vernon today and met up with Bill. After a little runnin around we got all the paperwork handled and I drove her home. This car is a dream it's so crisp in the corners yet so smooth on the highway. Bill you built a wonderful machine and I am going to take the best of care of her. Thank you for letting me buy her. I know you're gonna miss her. Remember I owe you a drink next hooters meet

My Father told no matter how bad things are, generally in the long run they turn out for the best. May have been a women involved when he gave my that advice but given time things do work out.

Congrats on the new ride.

Love the No Parking sign in some of the pictures. No worries because it looks fast even when it's parked, so the cops won't ticket it. At least not for that.
