Doing OK if you don't count the slab leak in the kitchen, seemed like water was everywhere! I had to gut most of the kitchen base cabinets and remove a bunch of drywall. Actual repairs begin tomorrow.
Our friends went to Italy, Greece, and Turkey a number of years ago. They loved them all but they were nuts about Turkey. They really want us to make the trip, not sure if we will any time soon. Looks like we're doing Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore this year. We did a Baltic cruise in '06 and had a great time. Considered a Danube River cruise for this summer but at 18K it was a bit much on the heels of two new cars in 2010.
In my case a "no compromises car" is the kind of car I've always wanted but couldn't afford or justify due to family considerations. Carroll Shelby's Cobra and GT350 factory was 15 minutes from my house, my buddies and I would visit the showroom near LAX and just stand there dreaming of owning one of his cars. In '66 a 427 Cobra, at $6,500.00, was $1,000.00 more than a 427 Corvette and twice that of a HiPo 289 Mustang.
I've owned many interesting cars, 65 Mustang coupe, 65 Sunbeam Tiger, 66 Mustang 2+2, 85 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z, 90 eagle Talon Turbo AWD, 99 Camaro SS and a 2004 GTO but in every case they were a compromise between what I wanted and what I could afford and what I had to have for work or family.
The Z is the closest I've ever come to that high school dream of Cobra ownership, having my dream car with out compromise, a "no compromises car".
Sounds really nice, we were 74 and clear today. PCH is a great drive. We went to Yosemite last May, it was terrific, and the road into the park was made for the Z, great scenery, very twisty and with a high speed limit.
