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.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
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.
snow :(
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.
