Says the guy with the yellow BMW. (lol)

I am just picking on him. I am just an old man now and I leave stuff like that for the 17 year olds.

...yes yes I know, "says the guy with the lifted Jeep."

Did a double take when driving past a dealer with one of these things out front - looked good! I'm excited to hear how it treats you.

BMW is going away tonight. I picked this truck up from my long-time friend up in MD last night. He's letting me drive it until I get the ST. First impressions - it's slow but torquey, the tires suck, having no weight over the drive wheels sucks in the rain (I learned that last night), the heater and radio work well, and the simplicity of the thing is refreshing.

It's a 1998 Ranger 4.0L with 4WD and 5-speed manual. 151k. And it's kinda-sorta for sale once I'm done with it.

Whee, more progress! I have the days between Christmas and New Years' all taken off already... maybe I'll get lucky and have it be delivered over that little break?

Dammit. Europe gets everything cool because nobody in the states likes wagons anymore.. It's all about soccer moms and their crossovers.

Indeed.

I saw a brand new black E63 wagon going to work the other day. Almost had myself a little crisis.

Update from Ford on Twitter (they really have the social media thing down) - ETA of New Year's Eve, the 31st. Naturally, I'll be out of town. I guess the 1st or 2nd will be when I make the journey to Koons to pick her up...
