Well to be fair, we're both Medicare eligible.

I wanted one since 1983 when a friend got one, so here it is. If I had to sell my boat, well I can have a shiny little red car. Hopefully I don't need Medicare to fix my back from getting out of it, a bit lower than what I'm used to.

I'm probably half your age and I still struggle getting out of the buckets.

When I test drove my R, the VW dealer let me take it home so my wife could test drive it (had a 2 month old at the time). She took it for 10 minutes, came back, said "it's fine, but how much money are you putting aside for speeding tickets?"

Hey, does anyone have a shop they recommend for taking care of wheel rash? Freaking Cambridge curbs!

 

[JPB WORLDWIDE]

if its that bad just replace the rim! I mean, I'm guessing you didn't pay a shitload for the wheels, so a few hundo to replace is probably the same you'll pay a shop to repair it.
