I like everything about this car.

There are few cars I look at and don't get a little twinge inside that makes me want to change something. This is one of the few!

GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am with him on that!

This is all so true; I see it everyday with my wife, Kristy. As you may or may not know, my wife has multiple sclerosis. She has a few balance problems, weakness in her legs, uses a catheter, sometimes uses a cane or a wheelchair, and has a totally unpredictable energy level. Sometimes the silliest of things will wipe her energy out for the day. Still, we love life and our life together. We like to live by a line from the movie Tombstone; "there is no normal life Wyatt, there's just life, and you get on with it."

If MS takes something away, we take it back. We met on a motorcycle ride a little over six years ago. She even bought me a Harley Davidson Dyna Glide a few years back. Now however, she really can't ride any distance anymore. We aren't going to sit around a moan about it though, I'm selling the Harley and am going to buy some sort of cool little convertible to take its place.

Sometimes, MS even makes life better. We love to decorate the tree for Christmas, but all that leaning, bending, and stretching will take the wind right out of Kristy's sails. The solution has made life around the holidays much better. I came up with the idea of inviting over some friends of ours, another couple that we both really get along with. All yesterday afternoon we all listened to Christmas music, chatted, and decorated the house and tree. We had a blast! It sounds silly, but neither Kristy nor I probably would have thought of this idea without her having MS.

Our lives are full of other examples like these. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have her down moments or days, we call them “I have MS” days, but she won’t stay down for long. Like you said, any day on earth is a good one!

Bill, Shiny side Up,

I checked out your build site. Wow, that's quite an ambitious project list!

All it takes is money and maybe ten years. Some day it will all come together.....
