    I plan to do that with hopefully a new truck soon. Hopefully it will fit in the garage; it will be an extended cab like my old Nismo, so I`m pretty sure it will fit. After this winter I`ve decided a 4wd truck needs to be in the stable. The Jetta`s a great little car, but with a house and harsher winters, its usefulness is lacking.

    haha that`s what we do! I paid $2k for mine and treat it like i paid full price back when it came out,especially with the new paint job. Currently sits in the garage while the car purchased last year (which is a 2012 model) sits outside, but since it gets driven daily i don`t like my GF going in and out of the garage due to how tight it can get. Once i clear up some more space( i want to switch from plastic shelves to wall pegs for more space) i should be able to fit both in there more comfortably.

    On other randomness : rented the Hateful 8 since i didn`t catch it in theaters, it was very good, slow start up but it is for a reason which is worth waiting for once it starts unleashing.

    So I decided to offer a two-step polish and coating IF they`re willing to leave me the car for more than a day. 350 is now 375 with an inevitable counter coming.

    And this is what we get to look forward to cleaning up.
    Yeah, I saw this happen in my backyard 3 years ago. Freaked the wife and kids out at first. The really odd thing is bee`s and ant`s try to kill/eat the Cicadas while they are warming their wings on the tree.

    It is a wonderful thing to see and my kids and I learned a lot (couldn`t believe I hadn`t noticed this ever before)

    I had read a comment somewhere on the internet that this bathroom gender issue may end up with the men`s rest room line being as long as the women`s. Typically, a major events the women`s restroom line is always longer and also getting complaints about the seat being left down...
