Ahh.. the beauty of "no money down" and "100% financing".
Thanks for the congrats... I really wanted to have a Subie but the extra k's did make a difference. So hopefully within a year or two; maybe some improvements will come on the Leg and Tribeca. I'll be looking....

sarcasm off
About 300 people showed up, it was incredible. Standing room only, and mostly outside in the heat. They had to hand out tickets and we had to wait for the number to be called.
Petter was hilarious, he said he had rolled over in a rally car 4 times by the time he was 18. Funny, personable guy.
06 STi was there, I didn't like that the grille and bumper now make up 4 pieces, and the rear spoiler and diffuser make it look a little busy. I do like the overall look but it could have fewer seams and be less "busy". Still, even Petter was saying everything on there is functional, and his car will have the same items. In that manner it's a tribute to WRC and I respect the design.
I like the front lip and the side sills, and the seams in the grille are only noticeable right up next to it. Overall the car looks good.

Kirstie and Pat will be around and, of course, Steve. So if the place starts to fall apart without me, give them a holler.

Have fun Karen, but not too much fun

topical ointment? ...
I could tell she felt kind of jealous that we'd taken the Tribeca to the beach last weekend, so maybe I'll give her a good detailing for her birthday so she'll forgive me.
Played DVDs on a laptop but we still missed the NAV system (I've named her Becky - note the "names with a K" connection also).

Twice.
Actually what I did get to do a lot of was body-surfing, plus I'm teaching my daughter to go body-boarding (low tide, small waves). She's been using one of those inflatable rafts, but I got her first real board yesterday plus a second one that in inflatable and has handles if she feels safer with that.
Pretty cool to relive my childhood. In Brazil I always lived across the street from a beach.

Sounds like lots of fun. So the Burely Bee trailer works well? I'll probably need to pick one up for the little one sooner or later. That's of course after I finally get around the repairing my MTB from a bad spill I took two years ago. ;-)
Keep it up! Like with any endurance sport, you need to build a base and then slowly grow it from there.

Motorcycles, too.
When I was up in Philly for the Solberg event and got a chance to check these out, it's real neat! Basically the gear axle has an extra gear that turns shafts that take a path to the front wheels. The bias ratio normally sends power to the rear wheels, but if the tire slips about 1/2" the front axle engages.
They're pricey and very high-end racing bikes, but neat technology.

They tuned the split ratio so that the rear wheel put the power down under most circumstances except for when there was slip. So when it is engaged you're already on mud and the tires are already slipping.
In a sharp turn on the bike, the kick you get when the front axle engages actually pulls you out of the skid and prevents you from jack-knifing. It was pretty cool when he demonstrated that for us.

My hat is off to you and your kids! The Harlem Rail Trail is supposed to be very nice. I beleive you even had good weather for it. You did more riding than I have in a couple of months.
I have to get out there and start riding again. Lately, the only way I make sure I ride is if I commit myself to a ride. At this point I'mm thinking of doing the NYC Century on 9/11. (Although I am only going to committ to the 35 mile ride - just not ready for the century yet

I must have missed a link on their web page. I was looking for the hang glider kit or submarine conversion module, but they were no where to be seen!
Seriously, I saw one on the trail yesterday, and it is indeed a beautiful product. Unfortunately, their most basic model is about 2x what I paid for the Burley, which is already about 2x what a department store model sells for. Had to draw the line somewhere as the other kid needed a bike!
Steve
My kids are outgrowing the child seat that goes on the back of my bikes. Of course the younger one just turned 3 (already) and he's big for his age. Time to get him on his own bike!
-juice
Yah, they can be pricey, but if you need more than one type of stroller or trailer, it can be cheaper and easier than buying those items separately. I think you'd probably have to be pretty hard-core into your activities to make it pay off. We were drawn by the wow-factor of all those attachments, but ended up going with just their regular non-convertible jogging stroller because we thought that, realistically, it was all we'd really use, but it's still really solid if we take it on trails.
juice: Maybe your 3-year old should just skip the bike stage and go right to an STi. You'd probably have to be the one driving it for a while, though, you know, until he really can handle it. Maybe about 15 years.
Well, I didn't leave the family to go meet Petter like I was thinking of doing.
Lot of on-line catching up to do.

Did you drive out on the sand, or just park and walk? Did you get the see the wild horses up close?

Bob
Not a good surfing beach, I've rented a long board to even be able to get upright.
-juice
You've never been juice? It's in your backyard.
We actually went to the OBX the summer before last. I had my WRX then so we didn't drive on the sand. We need to go back.

They auction off some ponies every year to thin to the herd.
Driving on sand is fun but it makes a MESS in the undercarriage.
-juice
As a kid I read the Misty of Chinctague (sp?) books. They were all about the auction and stuff. About 8 years ago, my wife and I were down in Ocean City, Md for a week. We were going to drive over, but there was some sort of restriction at the time, so we just watched from afar.

Lemme read that again...
You did?
One thing people often don't realize is that for soft sand WEIGHT is one of the most significant factors, and Suburbans (and Explorers) are heavy.
You should have aired down before you even got on the sand, to be fair.
-juice
As in driving in deep snow, you want to keep going forward. Also look for existing tire paths to follow—and pick carefully your spots to stop.
