Thanks to those of you who came out to the coffee meet on Friday. Let's try to make it out next weekend for a daytime cruise.

LOL

Well, are you saying we have to go somewhere that has absolutely zero chance of being: 1.) enticing to our other halves; and 2.) potentially damaging to our wallets?

Well, all we have to do is make sure that by the time we get there, all the shops are closed.

You should see me when I subtly wave my hand and mutter something like, "these are not the handbags you're looking for".

Well, as long as they're not marrying one of us, they should be okay.

wait till u hear the laundary story. My wife sometimes make me help with the laundary, which i hate very much. So i had this idea, do the laundary once and use bleach to ruin the whole load and the worst is having to buy a bunch of new clothing for the one time and she will definately not make me do laundary again right?

So i screwed up this whole load and bleached everything in it. I acted really sorry and went shopping for new clothing with her the next weekend. Well, after we were done and got home she said time to do the laundary. I was like yes off the hook....well not so fast, she told me she will teach me how to do it properly until i get it right!

I think she knew i screwed up that load on purpose....

According to the Canadian Black Book, Mercedes-Benz vehicles hold 36.9% of the purchase value after 4 years.

Here's what they are for other notable marques:

Mercedes-Benz 36.9%
Volvo 36.5%
Audi 35.5%
Lexus 33.5%
BMW 33.4%
Infiniti 30.4%

Amongst the more mass-market brands, Honda leads the way with 40.4% of their value retained after 4 years...

Honda 40.4%
Toyota 39.4%
Nissan 39.2%
Subaru 39.0%
Mazda 38.6%
Volkswagen 37.2%
Mitsubishi 37%
Saturn 36.2%

Thought some of you might find this of interest.

vw... love the story.

Anyway, just came back from the Sunshine Coast. It was awsome.. and the roads are WAY to much fun! Took some nice pics and found some nice places for BBQ`s. Im just loading the pics so I`ll post them soon.

I know I missed the last meet but those roads are killer. Up, down, left, right...I did all the driving, and she was allowed to control the play list. lol
