Regret has finally passed (well, for now)

With the pseudo-winter we've had here the last fortnight, i've pretty much overcome the regret from one of the harder decisions i've had in the last while. That decision was to trade my old (well almost spanking new) car for my new SUV. Yes, in many ways it was a transition to 'yuppiedom,' but i had to do it. Owning a home and having only a motorcycle and a nice two seater isn't really productive. So i pulled the trigger and got the SUV.



I have to give props to BMW for the X5. It actually handles really well, has mucho room in the rear seats (which, incidentally are heated with their own climate control), it really handles well on ince/snow. This is something I _know_ the SL500 doesn't do.

Sometimes i still dream about the red machine, but i have to admit, right now - with snow and ice everywhere, 4 wheel drive, heated steering wheel/seats and amazing traction is a nice soothing balm.

of course, when summer comes i'm sure it'll be a whole other story.
