MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
Wider tires certainly make our hefty cars look good. I love my Nitto's thinking very hard about some NT05R for racing

I am on my 2nd set of the 555's- 295/45/18 on rear w/stock rims there great except for very middle tread wearing 1st( genectic to our cars)! better traction 1st say 5,000-8,000 after that they seem to loose a little grip.
