I'm baaaack.....

Well been back since March 26th but pretty busy with numerous things. Finally on leave and in Michigan at my new house (too bad I won't be living here till the Army lets me out for good). Looking forward to going down to Houston and Dy does want to do a little offroading. If we don't get our Metal Tech bumper by then we'll probably take the new car or the Durango though. Oh yeah the new car. Dy wanted something fun to drive that gets a little bit better mileage than the Durango. She wound up desiring a Scion TC (special edition, number 222, with nav). If the manual got better gas mileage we would have gone for that, but it looks like auto wins hands down. Coincidentally they had a silver FJ parked next to it.




and just a couple pictures at my son's first soccer practice...





Take care everyone! Hopefully we'll be seeing some of you guys soon.

Re: I'm baaaack.....

Elise eh? That's sad. Bank approved me for enough to definitely get a used Elise. My friend in Houston is working on one right now I think. Just a lot of NA mods (port/polish, valves, valve springs, Apexi PFC, etc).

Hope I can get some pictures of Elises or Exiges at Deal's Gap.

Re: I'm baaaack.....

Good to have you back. The family is growing quickly.

I've heard good things about the Scions. I actually like the whole lineup, including the Xb.

My nephew just headed to Iraq last month. He's in the National Guard, the 76th from Indiana.

Re: I'm baaaack.....

Chris welcome back. We are in the planning stages of doing a MI run. A few of us from the Chi/Wisc area have talked about doing Silver Lakes. There should be a thread popping up eventually.
BTW found a 05 Elise on ebay last night for under 30,000 in ebay motors Michigan. If I could I afford it I would jump on it. eBay Motors: Lotus : Elise (item 170210497329 end time Apr-24-08 09:00:00 PDT)
