Denver and the R32
Thanks Bro. Unfortunately I have already left Denver... I don't get
to stay anywhere too long. I am in LA now driving a Mustang.
It isn't a done deal yet. I am just leaning that way heavily.
Never had alot of respect for the pony cars but I will say this 90 in
a rear wheel drive car and a VW is two different things. It felt like
it was alot more massive for one thing. Don't worry... It won't fit
three carseats either... LOL I keep telling my wife we can put Zoe in
the trunk when the time comes but I don't even get a chuckle from
either of them. Go figure.
