    Well it happened, after years of trying on our own we have become the proud parents of our second Bugeye Wagon. We realized there were just so many needy bugeyes out there in the world just looking for a little love we had to do our part.

    We were lucky enough to find a Wagon that had a wonderfull upbringing and was cared for by its single parent who saved it after major surgery. After some minor set backs the Wagon has done very well.

    Our thanks go to Brian Shorten for being such a good parent, you are always welcome to visit.

    Sigh. I miss it already ;)

    Yup, I sold the wagon. It was time to move on, and I was wanting to get out from under the payment. I'm glad that it went to a good home, and to someone who I know will be able to take care of it and enjoy it as much as I did. For the time being, I'm driving a '91 GMC (Mike and Dereks old truck, actually) that I don't have to make payments on and will get me around until the wedding and beyond. I'm currently planning on getting another vehicle around the fall, however I'm not entirely sure that it'll be another Subaru. There are so many fun cars out there to look at, each of them with their own virtues and vices. Time will tell.

    And for the record, Jess had nothing to do with this. Honest. :)

    We also like it very much, a bit like the new Ferari F1 color.

    Absolutely!! It is imperative that we create a smooth transition for both. You know how tramatic it can be to loose a loved one.

    I won't mention to anyone that you are intending to lightly abuse your new child next spring via extra boost and/or sustained lateral g's.

    The term is "Challenge", I will be challenging my child next spring, I am sure she will be up to it.

    Yes, I will still be coming out to Firestone, even without a Subaru. :)

    I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you in the coming months Mike, I'm glad that it went to a home where it'll be "challenged" by someone who knows what they're doing :)

    I'll be eating my gun before I get a Caliber SRT4. The only SRT vehicles I'd consider would be either the Charger, 300C or Viper.
