That would be the extra vehicle as a result of the new policy on the company vehicle. I'd asked MV to keep his eyes open and he said the minute he saw it he knew it was the M&K ride. It is sweet, has every option available.

Nice looking car 5P, this the replacement for the convertible?

M & K are at Turning Stone to see Toby Keith this weekend...This is their "Gap Car".

New company policy at Kitty's work. Company use only for her company vehicle. 5PM wants to save fuel with the truck. You know that conversation with Rip and the HUGE savings on mileage and diesel fuel. You gotta drive many many years to get the real savings at $3.85 a gallon for diesel!

Still their summer ride!

Every one should have a "Gap" to fill with one like that. What vintage is the "Gap Filler"?

And the local Sunoco here in town is at $3.919 today. Seems the best way to experience the "HUGE" diesel advantage is to park the thing. Limits the economic impact to lost garage space, and the cost of cleaning products.

Speaking of the two, that's a rather lively insurance discussion they have going.

So, out of idle curiosity, did you become a financial participant in this deal? Or limit it to throttle man and consultant?

The car is an '05 Lexus ES330. We took it out to Turning Stone for the concert, a really sweet ride. Kitty's convertible is napping at the same place as the boat until April / May. Concert was great, started at 8 and didn't get over until midnight. Stayed at the Lodge and Sunday am Kitty went to the Spa and I went to the golf dome. Dave, ran into Bob Flanders there, he's doing well and gave us the open invite to come up and play sometime. As for our boy Wiley Coyote, spinning him up online has become so easy lately it's almost not a sport anymore.

Very nice ride, you need to fill in the particuliars. MV found it for you?

Just cause it's somewhat less than sporting would not be cause to give up the game. Think of it like golf, were you to get a hole-in-one would you quit and never play again? Or get right back in there and try for another?

Kinda like chasing down a 35 Formula......but never passing it.

Do ya just keep trying?

Now I was informed a while back that this was a "brand specific forum", dedicated to the advancement of this particuliar brand and the associated "ownership experience", that I should refrain from comments not in keeping with that agenda. So................................................ ...

That in mind, I'm just buffin', waxin', and detailin' my new boat. Anticipating the approaching end of winter, the upcomming boating season, and a boat ride. I believe this will be the dawning of a new era in "pleasure boating",,,,,,,,,,,,,,, as we know it.
