Hi Alex, Yeah, it's been raining beaucoup over here too. Kinda tough to cut the grass or take one of the cars out until it blows over.
I put all the Battery Tenders/chargers on. It took the Carraera GT 3 or 4 days for the charging light to go off. I guess I hadn't been driving her enough.
Hopefully the rain will stop in a day or two. But to be honest, the weathermen saiid we were down 3+ inches and the farmers were hurting so even though it's tough on us, other peolple are benefitting from all the rain. "Se la vie!"..... did I spell that right?
Take care and thanks for the great pics and write-up on your web-site!  Michael
p.s. Good thing I got the Rovers or I'd have to drive the Maranello. Easiest one to wash if it gets dirty. I was thinking that when the lease on my Rover is up in December, to get an Aston Martin DB9 instead of a new Range Rover. Waddya think??? I'll still have the F150 4x4 for the Winter or other nasty stuff.

Aston Martin DB9 would be an amazing car to get Michael. It is one of my favorites, because it's just so gorgeous to looks at. I would spend most of the time just looking at it
This car would be a great addition to your already amazing car collection. The DB9 or even a V8 Vantage would be great, and maybe you'll feel a bit like James Bond when you'll drive it.
You truly have a great taste for cars Michael, and I want to congratulate you on that again! :good:

yeah Michael, the DB9 is so flawless. one of the best looking cars out right now, it's fast, powerful V12 and it sounds great. but if you traded in the range rover for it, would the F150 be your new daily driver? and where would you keep the DB9?

Wellllllll, the DB9 would kinda be a daily driver. I guess I'd drive it in some rain but absolutely no snow unless I got caught accidentally. Is that being an idiot.... driving a car like that in the rain. I don't do that now with any other car including the Maranello!  Michael

Not idiotic at all. Rain is not acid.. it will do the cars absolutely no harm.
Good desicion with the DB9 Michael... I was going to suggest to add it to your stable, but didn't since you said you're done buying cars for another year or 2.

Ummm..... Remember what I said about 'supercaritis'? I was laying in bed the other night trying to sleep and the next thing I know..... I get this sharp pain in my rear-end.... I jump up and check my 'arse' out in the bathroom mirror..... and there are these bites marks in the shape of a 'DB9' of all things right on one of my cheeks! A touch of 'supercaritis' and 'Quasimoto's revenge' both at the same time! Damn!
Like my friend Hovik said.... Screw the rain! DB9... DB9... DB9...  Michael

Just wanted to ask, but why don't you have any classic cars? Just not into them? They won't be any where near as fast as your current line up and they tend to be a major pain the ass, but just look at them!
Muira, E Type, Daytona, DB5.......the list of beautifull classics could go on forever.
BTW, rain can be bad for your car.  Thats if you are like me and never wash them.
