Only if it has the extend-a-hoe.

Man, I sure would like to own a machine with an enclosed cab someday.

Nah I don't plan on doing a lot of excavating. The backhoe is nice because you can use it for so many things, plus I can drive it to the jobsite.

Extend-a-hoe, that's the name of the lady who lives next door to me.

There are quite a few that I would like to own. Identifying just one is sacreligeous.

Only from the hours of 4:30 to 5:30 really. Beyond that the roads/highways are usually pretty clear in the afternoons.

Blow down I91 and rt8 at very legal speeds.

CT has some fantastic driving roads once you get away from the coast. Thats why on a nice weekend you see a steady stream of sports cars heading north on 8 to get away from the coast.

The parkway going over the river is another good spot, I have been well over 100 on that stretch countless times.

All of MI's nice open "high speed" roads are up north, vast open freeways, its awesome. Thats the most common location of my SD hitting 110+ I have yet to take the 300E up there.....

Try the Merit parkway at 3AM... just make sure your VERY awake when you do it

My dream car is any pre-owned, almost new (2-3 years old) LOW mileage mint condition MB turbodiesel sedan or SL550.

Because of the MASSIVE DEPRECIATION, I would rather take a 10 lash flogging, than buy any new car ever again. I learned my lesson the last time I bought a new Mercedes-Benz, 10 years ago.
