Nick that AMG pic just cracked me up ...... you have given us some gems in this thread!!!

Gary was starting to make me sad with all the Dan pics & then was your funny AMG pic. Thank you!!!

 

Hey Doc as with you Dan would be welcome any time. Lorne

 

Much appreciated Lorne, and right back at you both...I will leave the light on at the Holliday End...lol

 

I laughed my *** off the entire time I was creating it. Glad you enjoyed it.

 

Well Guys, I took delivery of my new Durango R/T this evening. She is tucked away in the garage with 13 miles on her. Since it was after dark by the time I left the stealership, I will give her a thorough going over in the morning and post up a pic or two. Quite a change, but the 2 mile ride home let me know that it is something I will get used to real quick.

As hard as it was to let go of the xfire, two more came in right behind me and traded as well (or I assumed they were there to trade)....never seen them before, nor did I get a chance to talk to the owners. One was an aero blue roadster and the other a graphite coupe. Haven't seen that many in town since I bought mine 6 1/2 years ago........go figure.

 

Enjoy your retirement journey Dan. I enjoyed our times together at TMS and Carlisle. If you are ever in Big D please let me know so we can get together.

 

Dan,
I just read your text on my phone and then read this.

Congrats on the new ride !!
Looking forward to some pics.
Will ya be bringing it to the Spring Dragon ??

Well enjoy the miles ahead my friend.

Gary

 

Con grats Dan. I am sure you will miss the Xfire but I know you will enjoy the Durango just as much but in a different way. Just treat them like two different Girls and it will be fun, Take care. Lorne&Elaine

 

Dan any time you want a ride in a xfire just give me a call. I an sure we will still see you at some Florida GTGs.
Alan

 

We could trade rides if you want to drive a real XF, now that your vehicle has some power! I know we'll be seeing you around still.

 

Here are a couple of pics:

Dan:

Enjoy the new ride. Looks awesome!

 

But, can u deliver mail in it or take the turns at the Dragon?

 

you might be surprised having that big thing up your tail (of the Dragon) of course...lol.... Almost a hemi SRT8 GC Jeep there Dan. I like it...might have to look at one of those instead of a jeep next time... Of course, I have ideas of taking my old Tahoe, and modding it...might be more fun....plenty of mods for it still out there. I like it, buddy, enjoy your travels...if you get up into my neighborhood, you have a room...

 

nice ride Dan enjoy

 

I call shotgun when we drive it through the dragon

 

Back on 11-18-2011
Well a couple years later Dan realized this Durango seen below was not what he really wanted after all......so.........scroll down

So he traded it in for his own built to order brand new Jeep Rubicon seen below.
He just took delivery of this Jeep yesterday....

 

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Dan . . . That's a beauty! ENJOY!

 

That's a nice one Dan, ready for some off road adventures. You should get in touch with Howard Carter as he is in to Jeeps now.

 

Is it just the Canadian climate or something else, but these things turn into buckets of rust in a few years.
I like them but they always seem to have rust and it appears around the hinges first.
