Not to mention lower insurance and instead of a dispo fee you get $250 scrap value

I just need to stop...
This morning I stepped on it a little getting onto the highway. At first I was a little unimpressed, then around 65 I guess the turbo and supercharger spooled up and I was in highly illegal territory much quicker than in any car I've driven in awhile.
I've never owned a Turbo or S/C let alone a car that has both.

This summer I went down to the San Juan mountains of Colorado for vacation and got to take mine on some true off roading trails (former mining roads, etc.). I was seriously impressed with what the truck could handle, and truth be told I'm sure it has a lot more capability that was hindered by the operator.

Water company left a note on my door and said there’s no problem on their end. My neighbors also report no issues. I picked up a water pressure gauge at Lowe’s and will investigate further once I’m back home. Got behind a new Corvette with dealer plates in Bowling Green last night. I guess the new model is on sale?

Most of the expert reviews put it behind the BMW and Audi, but I think that is mainly because it isn't as sporty as those. The Volvo infotainment gets knocked too, but once you learn it, I find it pretty easy. If you can operate an Ipad you can use the Volvo stuff.

My sis and I are colluding to put stickers on it when he isn't looking. This is the crop I'm currently contemplating.

Remember when some of the newer 2019's arrived, they only came with AM/FM as the only two choices. This seems to be happening more and more on newer arrivals I'm betting. Luckily I carry my lightning cord with me so I can use my iPhone to hear music. With 882 songs in my iTunes account now, it'll take me awhile to hear them all and since I shuffle them, never know what's going to come on next. Hate to keep it in alphabetical order as eventually, I'll learn the order of the tunes and really, what fun is that? Better to be a random selection and since I do have so many, works for me.

Once done, no more "honey do" projects for 2019 and anything else she, we want will have to get done in fiscal year 2020. I'm a bit tapped out here and still have property taxes coming up in November and the other half of the homeowners insurance coming due in December, since we split the bill this year.
So, we're done with home improvement stuff after this pathway gets repaired.

Game last night was great. Some bad calls by the refs, IMHO, but the birds prevailed in spite. That was a badly needed victory, both for the record and for morale.

Well, said I'd work from 9 to noon today so gotta go shower and hit the road. The few extra hours are nice as I've been dollar cost averaging on a couple of stocks lately, so the extra cash is coming in handy! Just trying to increase my income flow for when I do retire and not getting a steady paycheck from working. I guess one of the reasons I'm still working as I feel one can never have enough in the bank to sustain the same kind of lifestyle once work ceases to be what I do most of the time. We talked about traveling around America since they really enjoyed the mountains of North Georgia and there's so much we haven't seen. Want to do it before my spinal issues get worse and once that happens, mobility might be a real problem.

For someone that knows nothing about cars, she became quite the car (brand) snob! I assumed she refused to consider Ford because her father/uncles were Chevy/GM (Olds, then Caddy) buyers. But she won't look at Chevy either, and is anti-Caddy.
oh well. I at least know their are foreign badges she still likes!
