I used to collect stamps. I have that release in my collection. I have not collected stamps since they were 32 cents...

The past two days, I've had Jim Croce's Operator in my head for some reason. I don't own it on CD or mp3 and I doubt I heard it anywhere recently. The best part is that I really didn't know the words at all, just the melody, so after two days of making up different words and sounds to somewhat approximate that song, I watched a you tube video of him performing it. Now, here's a picture of him.

No Bentley here yet. Took the deposit though.... it might turn out to be a debacle like the Cadillac was. 6 months till I got it after paying.

Not the exact car in the picture but 2009 V8 with the BandO stereo, no carbon options, but does have the suede roof and the navigation. And most importantly manual 6spd.

My thoughts exactly. I just don't see how I could talk anyone out of owning any type of supercar if they have the ability and the wife's approval to own one. You sir, are winning.

Jim Croce is one of my favorite artists of all time. Too bad that I came into the world too late to get to see him live.

That's a Petermax-Mueller Sport Spyder on a Tempo Matador Renntransporter.

I am more interested in the Matador though. FWD VW drivetrain. We had a thread about this a while back.

Weird couple days got offered one of these as well. 2007 26K miles, full service. A little over 70K.

Again not the actual car but the right color and options.
