I went for a ride this morning... started in Valley Green from the Lincoln Drive entrance... really nice paths and trails. Rode down to the Valley Green Inn and came back.. Put the bike in the car and drove down to the drive and rode along Boat House Row to the art museum and like half way to University City when I decided to come back.

Morning all. Gotta love it when SL is down for a weekend.

I'd make you an offer on the springs, but like everything else, you'd probably change your mind about selling them to me.

if you're not going to make any commitments, then why would you even post that?

oh yeah and wifey picked up her new 08 yaris on friday night.

I have to say though Team Toyota's finance department sucks *****.

She has perfect credit and they came back with a 9% interest I looked at him and said what are u frickin nuts grabbed my keys and said lets get the hell outta here then he is like no no let me go see what i can do and he came back with 5.9....it ____es me off because they were trying to screw someone like that with intrest. all and all she got the low payment she wanted so she is happy. I have been driving it all weekend though i love it!
