Well... this move to Sun Valley -- which was a "sudden" decision for us last year at this time... has us making some life changes. This is a super small town... We walk most of the time. With the addition of our Chocolate Lab "Stella" ---- and the hiking and biking and skiing etc... there's not much use for high end cars. We're not going to take Stella for a hike on the dirt trails and then have her jump in the R8 or the S63.... so those went down the road. I am most likely the only human in the entire universe to ever trade in a 20,000 mile S63 on an F-150 pickup. Gwen decided she wanted to get a white Porsche Cayenne GTS -- ditching the Black turbo -- and since it was summer - they took the R8 and sold that for us - rather than waiting until next year and having it depreciate even more...

So far -- I've been using about 1/8th of a tank of gas a week or 10 days in the F-150 and the Range Rover sits in the garage.

Cars here are FILTHY all the time --- even though there is ONE car wash in town (OMG I swear on my own life -- to think of running a black car through that thing is just WRONG!!). It snows - and the sun comes out - and it turns into black crud... and it's cold as hell so you can't wash with a bucket and hose... so what I'm trying to say is -- the car situation over here just had to be changed up.

Once we move in to the house -- the stuff will all be washed by hand INDOORS... in the shop. But that's 2 years away.
