Time For a New Ride


We decided it was time to retire my Mercedes Benz ML320, she will be resting in the hangar for now after 250k miles of faithful service. Fear not, I still have plans for my old blue. 

Today Mary and I purchased a Porsche Cayenne to be my new ride. We are awaiting delivery scheduled for Monday.
