Tint is 35% up front and 20% everywhere else. It's LLumar Tint. And thanks. I'm lucky I found one that also likes the Eagle! :)

She bought me that hat. It was like 8 bucks at wal mart. My real name is Raffaele and the red ninja turtle is Raphael.

your lady is a cutie, you have a good eye for that too! lol  you make a nice looking couple!
she reminds me of myself in that she is so interested in the rocks etc along the creek.

When I first saw it I thought it said Pat Head...but that didn't make since...couple days later if finally hit me. Pretty sure it says Pot-Head! EEkkk. The quality individuals that are renting out the basement at my dad's house! :)

Thanks, photography is a hobby of mine and I'm surprised how good my camera phone can do. Like 80% of the photos of my Eagle have been taken with my Samsung Galaxy S II.

The brick structure was what used to be called The Grotto and it was an old hotel back in the day. The railroad used to end in Missouri in this town called Newburg...that's as far West as it went (There was actually one of those huge circle turn around things that took the Train Engine and spin it around so it could head back East). So this was just one of the hotels in town that was right off the railroad and right off the river. There is another hotel in town called "The Houston House" and it is supposedly haunted. The grotto burned down years ago and all that is left is what hasn't fallen down of the original brick structure. I can't find any info on it online really, but I do know the guy that owns the property now and he might have some old pictures of it or something.

Thanks for the compliment on my honey! :) I like her! She was really interested in the rocks. She loves gems and jewelry and stuff so I think she was trying to find a diamond in the rough! :)

Such is the irony in the name! It was a Trailer Queen when I bought it! But I never intended on Trailering her! :)

Picked up a Thule Roof Rack. Came with the 4 rain gutter feet, 2 bars (missing one end cap), and the front windscreen...which was rubbing against my roof so I took it off for now.







Also got a ticket when I was headed back home from the transaction. Pulled over less than 1 mile from my exit because the hi-po noticed I was a little more than a month behind on getting my plates renewed! Jerk!


And yes, I do have a glorious mustache right now! :)

Nice ride!  Tickets suck.  I saw your turning 40 vid on facebook.  Glad you captured the moment... and with a perfect soundtrack.  Congrats on finding a lady that can share your love for your car.  That might just be more rare than your mint eagle.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, finding someone that loves the Eagle like I do is pretty rare! :)
