BUD is running strong, I appreciate him more every day--I, well, am still running. I have been considering some mods for me--maybe a new Pulley--but the wife doesn't seem too interested. I thought about a new exhaust system, but my OEM still back fires pretty well, especially the morning after eating beans. I have also considered a cold air intake, but living in Florida, there isn't much cold air. I am greatful that if I am on the roads motoring in my MCS or on the roads running, I continue to enjoy the journey. Getting old (62) is a heck of a lot better and more fun than I would have imagined 30-40 years ago.

I'm also 62 and I'm still, maybe 85% functional. That's way better than I expected at 62, if I was lucky enough to live that long.

My 03 MC, (CR/W of course), does a good job of brightening up the day and it's the most fun car I've ever had. I'm glad it came along before it was too late for me.

May you and I and everyone have many more enjoyable years of motoring.
