On the drive up, we had a fantastic sunset paint the sky orange.

Love those pictures.
Bought a car, Saab 93 Vector 2.0t. Didn't set out to get one with the sports package but it was close enough so I could walk to it and I like how it looks.

Re: What is new in your little world?
Here's a few shots from Cuba. We didn't get to see as much as we would have liked due to the cruise line cutting our stay short. They canceled all shore excursions and refunded everyone's money so the ship could leave 6 hours early. We suspect it was because of the tropical storm force weather, as we couldn't get a straight answer out of the crew.

First born rode his bike today! Been waiting for this for years.
Re: What is new in your little world?
congrats, did it take long?
My first took all of 15 mins to get the hang of it. My second won't even try, even though she's the daredevil of the two

He's not long turned 5 but I didn't push him into it. My 3 year old kind of picked up the bike and did it on his second try...

lol, I saw a 9-3 last night with huge, cheap mudflaps and a gaping hole for an exhaust. Sounded just as awful.

Re: What is new in your little world?
That kid is cute. Parents must be loaded though, I imagine my kids would be riding mini bikes like that if I was willing to shell out that kind of cash for them to ride it for a few years.

Yes, I'm sure your financial situation is the only thing that separates your children from that little boy. And knowing he has no other competition, in his age range, in his entire country adds tons of plausibility to your statement...

Re: What is new in your little world?
I'd like to visit Cuba as well, looks nice.

I'm really happy with it so far too. The guy owned it for 10 years and took super care of it. Said his gf made him sell it.
I wouldn't mind the 2.2 if I lived in the states, our taxes and gas prices are a little higher though.
Mine doesn't sound like a tractor, it's not a diesel though. It's nice with a chain you don't have to think about changing it.

That's what it's about after all, impressing the kids.phantasmagoria wrote:I love my 9-3, I've got the 2.2 and it sounds like a fucking tractor cause it's chain driven. 170 on the clock and bits are starting to drop off it but the engine's going fine.ALMighty wrote:Love those pictures.

Re: What is new in your little world?
Dude... those bikes are 2 - 3k and can only be used by them for a few years. I'm not poor but I'm also not willing to spend that kind of cash on an item that can only be used during 4 months of the year and only for a couple of years. Kudos to you if you are though, I'm not hating but it's definitely not in my range. I know how much they are because I own a motorbike and saw them for sale at my local moto shop.shaft wrote:Those bikes cost about as much as an xbox.
