Default At 37 I guess I am ready for additional responsibility...

The order has been placed, received, processed, and our unit is in production for a May delivery... I didn't think all of that trying would pan out; now I am really screwed!

Congratulations!

I can't wait to see what the new models look like! Mine are already 1 and 5 years old... it will be interesting to see what, if any, new upgrades there are on the newer versions.

We are supposed to get a hybrid! Thats what happens when you cross a German/Scottish heritage kinda guy with a Vietnamese heritage kinda gal.

So how is the depreciation on a typical 5 year old?

We have yet to see the full potential of her value...

She has gotten a "reading" upgrade this past year and it seems we are constantly having to spend more and more on maintenance and upkeep.

Caution: Cost of ownership seems to increase by a factor of 10 around the holidays and the production completion anniversary date.

That said... I still love mine more than anything... and I highly recommend that others invest in similar models.

So why invest in similar models, how much for yours?

Yeah yeah big time sarcasm.

It reminded me too much of the scene in the Blues Brothers when Jake wanted to buy the women from the table behind them while eating at Chez Luis.

Maybe I should have considered leasing before placing the order....

Actually if you look at the fine print you'll see that it really is just a long term lease. Low entry cost, huge investment over many years, unbelievable payback. Enjoy!

Congrads!!!


Personally, I still have two semi low cost models (9 mo & 2.5 Year). Once the price of ownership starts going up I will consider driving them off to the salvage year!
