It\u2019s nearly 2AM here and I\u2019m writing this after reading through the owners manual and taking up my project management skills to document<\/a> everything I plan on doing to this beautiful machine.

Bertha and I had a 75 mile drive home from the dealership so the odometer just passed 100 miles on my way to work this morning. It\u2019s a very fun car and I can\u2019t wait to share with you all everything that I\u2019ll be doing to it and the adventures we\u2019ll have.<\/p>\n
