Yeah, but it had the original alloy wheels and not those silly chrome ones.

The wife's big objection was that it was being sold by a friend of a friend halfway across the country, so I would've had to fly there and drive it 2000 miles back. Probably could have re-sold it and doubled my money when I got it home though.

Oh well, the 5d3 is nice too I guess...

Yeah, that does look nice. I'm not too fond of convertibles, but I live in northern Illinois and only have the resources for a single car. It's all perspective of worth I guess.

Maybe it's just my more economical mindset these days. I went from an AWD turbo-charged car to an economy hatchback. The funny thing is, the new car is more fun in the city because it is a lot smaller and the steering is pretty sharp. The significantly better mpg helps too.

It was funny since we talked about it in Yaoi-con, and you actually did it a few days afterwards, LOL. I am a photographer's worst nightmare, I talk people into buying more gear.

Haha, yeah. I had been debating awhile what camera to upgrade to because I had outgrown my entry level. The main thing that pushed me over was those ebay deals that BeachCamera, B&H, and adorama were having, seeing it on sale = purchased lol...

Most wives/girlfriends would say no to buying new toys, lol
