Hmmm, the old "economy meter" seems to be showing that you are not driving very economically though! Aint it amazing? 120 MPH and there's STILL dust on the dash. Next time, crack them windows just a hair.

In 9 days the wife and I are off to Garmisch, Germany again. Only for a week, but I'll take ANY amount of time in Garmisch!

No, No, No... Spring means women start wearing SHORT skirts again! Come on, we need all the positive energy we can muster! <- looking up a short skirt!


Also, on a positive note -- I have not had to spend a repair dime on any of the cars at all all Feb.!

Yippie! a month without getting greasy and cut up under the BMW, Chevy, OR the SDL!

I wish! First time we rented an Audi TDI; second time we just took the train. The Audi was awesome; 5 speed manual with plenty of pull to keep up with the Autobahn traffic. This time we'll just use the train, again; the rental car is really unnecessary as there is easily a week's worth of hiking in and around Garmisch. We might rent a car for a day if the mood moves us, but would be more VW TDI than MB CDI.

Spring means cook outs, cutting the grass, walks withe the dogs, and tuning the car to go faster!!

I am just glad that in a few weeks it won't be that cold anymore!! I'll actually be able to work on the cars without suffering hypothermia!

I can't wait!

I want to take our 300E to the tracks. Or even my SD....that'd probably be interesting....

My daughter hit her kayak roll for the first time in the pool last night. First river trip planned in three weeks. Friend got a permit in the lottery for Lodore Canyon in July. Hell's Half Mile here we come.

My Honda's done the speed, I'll get back to you on the mileage. It'll take me awhile, my Honda's a young 9 years old. I'm not gonna sell it, so I'll get there eventually.



it's going to be 60 here on Sat. Woo hoo!

I am looking forward to the time changing and having a little time to get out on the bicycle. Also, my fiance and I spent Valentines Day at a pull a parts place. She did a good job carrying the tool box. We will more than likely get married this spring - she is a keeper.
