Will post pics when it's done but we are having our water heater moved for crazy cheap ($400) so we will be able to fit both cars in the garage!!

That is literally the best Xmas gift ever. I don't like my cars sitting out in the elements. Now we REALLLLLY won't sell ever.

Awesome! That's great man, I had to sell two of mine due to space recently but it's good to hear someone got a space increase

Great! Big upgrade being able to have both your cars in the garage. It’s one of the big reasons I don’t really want a third car.

Yeah I can't wait. LX just sits outside, I mean it's fine but not ideal. Garaged cars keep much better.

Whenever I get the SL500 I'll park it in my parents' 3 car garage, I live 2 minutes away so no biggie.

It's gonna be a tight fit but totally doable!!!

Still waiting on the SL500. I talked to my guy yesterday and he said the top is working perfectly but there is an alarm bug they are fixing. He assured me he's calling me first, I already told him we have a deal as long as the test drive and inspection are good.

Here's a Silver Arrow page for anyone interested. Ugh, the gauges and rims alone. Personally, to me, it's one of the most beautiful cars ever made hands down.

Looking at the gauge cluster makes me miss full instrumentation. I love a good oil temp gauge. Having to access it from a digital menu isn't nearly as good to me.

$2.72 for regular here.

It's nice to not have such a high fuel bill anymore. It cost $58 to fill up yesterday when it was over $100 at one point. For like 190 miles, lmao.

While picking up my Pacifica from the dealership service department this morning, they had a new Grand Wagoneer on the showroom floor. Now, I knew that these were pricey but still nearly fell over after seeing the window sticker was $106,xxx!

Did you push that button? Lol. We had a friend over this past weekend and funny this gas topic popped up. He said premium is under 3 where he lives. On the other hand, from what I read (before this craziness), when gas goes down, it's not a good sign for economy.

Lol I told you gas would go back down under $4!! Even if it's only a penny for you so far running premium, lol. Hopefully it will keep getting cheaper, it's a welcome relief. We are ready to just take off with no destination now. I wasn't gonna pay about double for a long long road trip with no set destination so we waited.
