And, they do grow up before our eyes, like a flash...
Our 'Kidz' are older than many posters here. Enjoy every moment, imo...

As promised, pics of my 2011 Thunderbird Storm, my other love (I was going to get wife in bikini with heels to pose by bike but she wasn't having it):







Just rolled 1,600 miles, had it shipped from Illinois from the first owner last October, bought with 1100 miles, I love the machine but don't get to ride as much as I used to, but as long as I own my bikes outright, I won't get rid of them/stop riding. Would love to add a Speed Triple to the stable someday.

Just making sure the pictures loaded since Tapatalk was recently changed and a bit slow, carry on!

Somehow I get the feeling most of you gents have wives or girlfriends that understand your love of performance vehicles. Saturday I passed a 428i parked in a neighbors driveway and commented on how I thought it was sexy... The boss hasn't spoken to me since...

Really Gary? not spoken to you since?

I mean let's be honest, our spouses/significant others actually "understanding" the love of vehicles, performance, aesthetics, etc, is a hugely variable term.

Does my wife still speak to me if I freak out at a mint 850ci in the parking lot of home Depot? Sure.

Does she look at me sideways and roll her eyes somewhat if I am talking about how my 10 year old E53 gives me a more "pleasurable driving experience and is one of the last solid 'drivers SUV's" than her bland 2011 Rav4? Absolutely. However, she still talks to me afterwards.

Another example, I had her read epdarks thread about his 4.6 the other day (read it if you haven't, he basically put into words how we all feel about our X5's), and she told me in plain English after "you guys all have real friggin problems" lol.


As far as the female "getting it", I don't know how possible that is. However, she respects my love for vehicles, motorcycles, and other machines etc, and my love for my E53. I don't ever expect her to fully understand, but that's where Xoutpost comes in. She is however excited to go to ///MPact in September!


EDIT: Now that I look at the pics of my Triumph above, that reminds me that I need to order the Black teardrop mirrors from the dealer LOL (I can't stand chrome for the most part)
