so my car will likely be dirty, always. Took this in the back yard an hour ago, or so.

That is a beautiful backyard (and I usually only say that to women)

At least silver hides dirt!

Who gives a ****. The yard looks worth it.

Start saving your pennies and pave that bitch

Hi Darin... nice to see that you're still around and still have the 8.

Beware of those Michigan winters though... probably still better than the winters in Minnesota

yup, Armada is out there. I'd be more worried about hitting an animal.

beautiful shot! You could have cleaned her up, one last time...

That tree is insane. 8 looks good btw.

That's a lot of yard work.
8 Looks real cool in that shot.
Less industrial chemicals and pollutants but more tree sap and bugs.

I see a life preserver tube. Is there a lake nearby?

Speed_8

lol the life guard saver thingy on the tree stump, makes it look like a coffee cup

monchie

No roads, just grass...lol

dmp

Thanks guys.

We're on 10 acres now; the edge of the pond is in the shot, hence the life ring/coffee cup. :D

Can see the water better in this one:

Pluses: Can shoot/hunt on the land. Can fish.

Negatives: House needs cosmetic work. 35 mile commute now.

re: Winters... The 8 gets garaged when the temps get below 40. I have a legacy GT spec. B (stage 3), and my wife has her F150 Supercrew - when the weather gets fun! :D

dynamho

GT spec B.... very nice even at stage 1! Appropriate.

dmp

Indeed, the LGT is pretty cool; sorta getting older now - might look for something larger (thatswhatshesaid) someday. But - 300 or so awhp from a weird-looking subaru surprises folk in their muscle cars.

PaPaBear

You are lucky and enjoy. Sure beats the concrete jungle in South Florida. The 8 looks great and very happy with it's new home.

start paving that road.
this makes me sad.

dmp

It'll be fine, Jedi. Car needs a ton of work anyway. Paint is terrible mazda horse-****. have some bent braces under, missing most of the plastic under-tray, and car smells like hay inside.

That scenery is amazing,
your car might get dirty but it can always be cleaned.
I'd rather have that scenery than seeing pavement everywhere.

nice pic

RXeligion

I know what you mean! I love the color of my NG but I HATE the quality of the paint... I want to have the car repainted the same color with better paint. (Maybe single stage laquer)

monchie

Forgot to mention that big *** tree. Hope that does not fall on the house...lol

Have fun in the dirt! I drive on a 1 mile gravel road on my way to the school farm and it SUCKS! But it beats the hell out of riding a over crowded bus. Great picture BTW

dmp

That tree is about 200 feet from the house; we're good. It may, however, fall a bit on the barn, pictured.
