Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

so Don surprises us all and gets a snazzy rocket sled for his wife. It's a South Korean Audi with way more power. From all the articles Don I think you are going to like it a lot. Very highly rated car.

I punched it passing on Hwy 195 this afternoon and my wife was thrown to the back of her seat when the turbo kicked in. She said WOW!

Don- Congratulations on the Win-Win KIA. Nice looking car; looks fast parked. I wish you many event free miles.

Thanks, its a hatch back and the seats fold down so there is plenty room for Whipper or a Saint Bernard or two. With the seats up it has as much back seat room as the Mazda and a bit less than the Rav4.

But ...... how much hay can you haul?

Probably 2 bales more than a Corvette.

((I still have my F150 (and trailer) for the dirty country work.))

Nice looking car Don! Wifey said "that's pretty"! Do they have the "prepaid speeding ticket" option?

How is the orchard doing? Any more progress on the house?

I have been delayed by life. But, i am living 15 minutes les from the Orchard now. I have a contract on my house to sell and I will be restarting the building process soon. I am also trying to get a barn built. The cost from first estimates was prohibitive. I have been getting creative and I am sure we will come up with a solution. The barn will allow me to store my tools and building materials out of the weather and stage some of the work and even get work done in bad weather. I feel that it is almost essential to get the barn put up. I will have to pay for it either way.

Almost forgot. The Orchard is doing very well. Two more years and we will be dripping in fruit.

Premium
I was looking for one the same price as the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4.
Randy, what do you put on the cars at a car show to make them shine?
This one does not ave the $599 paint protection package the Toyota port dealer added and expected you to pay smiling.

Ron, the color is panthera metal.

Most of what we use on cars at the show is some sort of Final Touch type, wipe and shine. It won稚 hold up long on a daily driver. On my KIA Borrego I use any one of several premium clear coat waxes and wipe it between wax jobs with Mirror Glaze.
