Is that a factory wheel option or aftermarket? I like it!

(I'm not seeing a car cover)

Could you help the gentleman in the 122 forum on shop recommendations in Albany?

Well-deserved?...or are you sad? My house is pretty lonely when everyone is gone. It's peaceful for an hour or two....

I miss my ladies in 15 minutes. I know there is a Creator because no man could have created anything as wonderful as Women. They bind our societies, they communicate, they put the needs of others first, and never run the gas tank below 1/4.

We in turn look out for the fragile little flowers of 6 foot/180 pounds of muscle who told a creep in Venice bothering their school group
