Those pics don't do your kitty justice.......there are so many "hidden" and not so "hidden" Modds. Glad I got to see her before you put her in the "cage".

Thanks...from what I've been told the winters aren't too bad in the STL. But it will see the garage when weather doesn't agree with it..haha. We'll just used the Benz for that. I'm using the 18" Crimson's for "snow tires" and her new 19" wheels as regular use when we pick them up (she still hasn't decided what she wants yet). We'll be missing Hawaii, but I'm sure there's lots of adventures to be had across CONUS. Will be nice to actually take real drives..haha.

Haha, I have my furry winter coats from my regular trips to japan. I just need to stock up on some other items.

Well, we picked up the Benz today (they called us this morning saying it was ready for release) and plan to head out of Cali on the 22nd on our road trip. Going to hit K1 again tomorrow for some more go-kart action and then some din-din.
